O/T Ashes score updates?

Not sure about a real time update, but I always rely on the Guardian's over-by-over reports.

This is all you need

 

Can't sit next to customers with earphones in really

 

Where are you? In Thornton with a load of Cricket fans. Looking for a tele!

Aylesbury, it's on in the canteen but ducking out for coffee every 5 mins gets suspicious .

 

Cricket is so boring.

Spoke to my dad on Friday (he is abroad) and he asked me for the latest score as he couldn't find out.

Of course I didn't have a clue. I couldn't even lie to wind him up.

If you bring this up in a browser session, then minimise the browser, you'll see the score update in the title (no good if you have millions of sessions open though). Good updates on the site too.

Nicola - one for you too:

No problem.

The other blokes in my office don't need it. They just listen to me swearing or laughing.

Still not home and dry yet, but another 90mins in the crease, 50 more runs and I think it's a done deal.

Then it's spend the next 12mths ripping the p*** out of a bunch of Aussies here.

 

Trouble is Murph, Aussies are bowling their overs really slowly - there are currently just over 60 overs left to be bowled today with us 187 ahead.

I think we need at least 240+ with 40 overs or less to be bowled to stop the Aussies having a major tonk at it. So there's a good 2 hours left before we are safe - IMHO !!

 

Not helped with just losing Collingwood.

I still think another 45mins or so should see us get the draw.

I suspect we'll see some pretty average bowling rates from the English too...

 

Just lost Jones now.

The way they are talking on tv I think England have to bowl their overs no matter how late the test goes on.

 

never mind spouting about cricket what happened to the football team last week

 

The light will go at some point though...

 

We was shafted by a swede

 

Indeed.

England's draw surely now. Can't be any more than 2hrs play max, they stillhave 3wkts to get and now 280+ runs (which the Aussies have only scored in half their innings this series).

As for the football - tell them to watch cricket. Especially Rooney.

 

It must be fairly safe now - what an innings from Pietersen

 

Cracking.

Declare in an hour to get them all on the pitch

 

All out for 335. Australia need 342 to win.

Hope they've been eating their carrots AND their Shredded Wheat.

 

Captians agreed on a draw. Umpires just came out and took the bails off. All over. Fat lady singing. England get the ashes back after 18 years. Last free-to-air test cricket on UK TV (as Sky bought everything). Richie Beno retires after 42 years. Aussies not coming here again for four years. What an occasion. A tense match for a close result and some of the best cricket you'll ever see.....

finally the damn thing is over

 

so is the world cup for england anyway

 

i hope so cos i dont want to be subjected to that crap neither
