can i ask what the appeal of crickit is? i'm not going to slag it off, because i know many people like it... but i've never found out why.... just curious
well i am addicted to cricket.. ashes is gonna be 1 hell of a series
because this time england has somewhat of a team. but McGrath proving again that he is a fantastic bowler, bowling 13 overs in a row and getting 5 batsmen out. still i think aussies are too good for england
but the Aussies have always been a stronger test side then in the one-dayers.
17 wickets lost in one day. who would have seen that comin? hopefully the Aussies will settle down in their second innings and bat for a solid day at the least.
I never liked cricket, the officers in the army kept spamming me to play it for some reason. I never understood the rules apart from hitting the ball and running up and down etc.
Here´s a few questions, maybe someone could explain.
1. What are "overs"
2. what does "y won by x wickets" I thought the runs were the deciding factor.
3. How can a game be a draw when one team has more runs than the other?

An over is a series of six consecutive balls bowled by a single bowler.
Runs are the deciding factor if on team was bowled out for 200 and the other got to 200 with only losing say 7 wickets... then they had 3 more wickets... so they win by 3 wickets.
Because a game may be stopped due to bad light, rain or simply then end of play before the other team manages to complete their innings then it is called a draw, or no result
the only good england player right now is peterson.. that guy is awesome.
but australia really ripped england apart in the second innings. face it people, aussies are too good for england. even though they got off to a slow start in the natwest series, they are pretty stable now.
its a lost cause for england now, but still i have to say they have put on a good fight against the best side in the world. warne bowled fantastically today. and Lee was absolutely energetic. did any1 c that catch he took off straus
Yep, that was awesome. I still think the Poms can turn it around later in the series, but this match looks pretty gone to me. With Pieterson still there, and if he gets support, who knows though.

We've lost live 5 wickets and soon we will be into the bowlers... and we still need a large amounts of runs... I think it will be close...
Peterson is a bit of a risky player.. sometimes he hits out and gets himself into trouble... all be it a great batsman... he has dropped a good few catches though.
We have a good few seamer's as well... Harmisson, Hoggard.. Even Flintoff(who is a pretty good all rounder.) and Trescothick and Straus did get a tidy no. of runs for opening batsmen
just flicked to the SBS coverage an found out that rain has stopped the first session. even if there are only two sessions of play, the Aussies should be able to rap it up today.
do u think the english wicket keeper (sorry i forget his name) will be picked for the next test?
