At the risk of raising the ire of the lovely Ruth ....

Who is going to win today's ODI?

The English must be feeling confident, 3 and 0 so far in the series. Australia 2 and 0 with a beating from the Bangladeshi's

Who do I think is going to win?

The AUSSIES!!! COME ON BOYS!!!

[jobr]

I hate to say this but at some point you have to win a game, and that day i think could turn out to be today / tonight.

Think a lot will depend on the toss.

Roll on 2pm (think thats when it starts on Sky), no boring Tim tennis today for me.

Aussie know they have to win this one to get themselves back mentally - lose this and they are well certain to being beaten this summer.

Prob depends on Ponting scoring more than 1, and Gillespie not being hammered around the ground - oh, how that would be great to see though

Fancy a friendly wager on the outcome of this game Jase?

Or the natwest series? Or the Ashes?

fiver on todays game?

I have already had so much fun after seeing the normally cocky Aussies being stuffed by Bangladesh Im sure its more embarassing than being beaten by the soccoroos at footie. Its about time Messrs Ponting and McGrath learnt a bit about humility. If England win today the Aussies may as well pack and go home, as they have alraedy lost the mental battle.

Come on England the ashes are coming home, lets hope they brought them back.

Cricket commentary and the demon gambling. TP see me

As much humility as the MCC shows by not letting us actually have the Ashes even though we've OWNED them for the last 16 years?



You underestimate the Australian sporting philosophy if you believe our cricket team will be a walkover in the Ashes if they lose today's ODI.

Ruth, am I in for a spanking? I just need to make sure I have the right attire and accoutrements
