AUSTRALIA FIRST INNINGS

rom1966 on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A55477614)"Australia 270 all out. Only if the bowlers pitch the damn ball up."1034: If there is anybody out there who has played top-level cricket, can they please explain to me how the four best fast bowlers in England can consistently miss their mark by a matter of not inches, but feet Just wondering. 1028: The bookies, at least William Hill, still has England at 9-1 to win this match, and therefore regain the Ashes, which is pretty remarkable given the hole they’re in. Kenny Lynch is more likely to win next year’s Open. 1025: Hello. I imagine there were a good few England players waking up this morning and wondering if it was all a bad dream. Alas, no, it wasn’t. Your fans can still feel every England wicket and every long-hop like a short, sharp poke in the eye with a sharpened biro. Have some ruddy pride, England, at least have some pride.
