The photo opportunity between the two Prime Ministers has been postponed....mmmm

Who would want a picture taken with Blair..........Anyway

At least the Aussies got that right....Good on em

 

[Texas_Hedge]

Guess this was the perfect time to be long the FTSE then eh

Good luck for the rest of the test anyway.. Joules.. It's going to be a classic series, I can feel it.

Its an Australian conspiracy

Pietersen 100 anyone?

not sure its gonna last past saturday at this rate...

 

[FetteredChinos]

or perhaps extras as top scorer?

thats "sundries" for our Aussie "friends" lol

A commentator just accused Shane Warne of being a fashion victim...

I feel informed now...hehe

Sounds like something Boycott would say....

 

[FetteredChinos]

spooky Joules.. the Market Matrix guys would be looking at a repeat of that this year...

110 years = 2 x 55....

Shane Warne gets his hair from the same place. The advert is hilarious. I think it is called "The Advanced Rug Studio"

The humiliation 79 for 6

 

[Texas_Hedge]

Its a rout 92 for 7

 

[Texas_Hedge]

McGrath's performance was truly outstanding

Ripper

 

[Pippppin]

17 wickets in a day on a decent wicket....batsmen these days haven't got the technique/patience/concentration to "shut up shop"....

Outstanding though McGrath is, there is too much one-day cricket. Most of the England team have not played a "first class" match for six weeks......

 

[Texas_Hedge]

You have scared the hell out of me Pippppin. I have an exposure of £15 riding on the outcome of this series. I may have to reassess the risk and maybe reduce my overall exposure. Maybe I can come up with another cunning option strategy......

 

[Pippppin]

All is not lost peter44 (i assume you have backed England )

I actually think England have the edge this time in the batting stakes. Not by much. The only problem is...they have McGrath and Warne

At least they should both be gone in four years time, when the Australians will look considerably less fearsome. Maybe your options strategy should be implemented over the next four years...........
