Had a kip as I knew I would not be able to stay awake until midnight, clock set for 11.45, but set it for am by accident doh!. Instantaneously wake up at 11.59pm and saw the first ball, that's pretty sick natural instincts! lol
My sick natural instincts we're scuppered by a huge bender Tuesday/weds. Never saw a ball. Doh! Also laid England pretty heavy at work so this may affect my enjoyment of this series now. If I start saying things like fair dinkum or arvo you will know why. Fkn punters piss me off sometimes. |

Why are there 2 Ashes series within 3-4 months I always thought they were 18 and 30 months apart?
I take it the next series won't be for another 3 and a half years?

They wanted to change the year cycle so it does not clash with the World Cup, the last couple of world cups they have had ashes series immediately before which did not help preparation for them for either side. |

We play again here in 2015. Lots of bs about cycles and international calendar, the truth is ££££££. |

Did that just happen? They lost 5/6 wickets for 10 runs on a docile pitch? Embarrassing.

Its not a docile pitch ie dead, lifeless Its a good batting pitch but it is quick and does have bounce. It is the bounce that is the problem, allied to the short pitched bowling which we failed to counter Preparing fast bouncy pitches was clearly Australia's best chance |

Perhaps docile is the wrong word. I meant a pitch which is "true".

correct Not much good if your batsmen can't play the short ball though |

It does look like we've completely forgotten how to bat on a pitch with a bit of bounce.
The Perth test could be messy if we don't sort our shit out.

What do we think Aussie tactics are from here?
Bat all day tomorrow and try to get 500 ahead and have 2 days at England? Clarke seems fairly agressive, but he needs to bear in mind that this pitch played like a road last Ashes tour in days 4 & 5?
