England are 8/307 at the end of 1st day of overhyped Ashes finale. Flintoff has one more Test inning to go and he just made 7 on the most hyped final test of any player in recent memory. For that matter Ganguly and Kumble were far ahead than Freddie in greatness, but they dint have that hyped farewell. Ditto for McGrath, Gilchrist and Langer. All big and great than Freddie.
None from England managed to stick to the wicket and play a long innings to bat Australia out of the game. Bell was at 3, Trott was at 5. Finally after lot of mulling and thought process hardly any change was made in the England team. Much ado about anything. Thats like khoda pahad nikla chuha.
Siddle has been an unsung hero for australia and his 4 wkts got Australia back into the contest at 2/176.
The Ashes has been low on quality, more on the hype. Both sides have failed to create the spark of 2005, or even 2006 - 07.
In the end I shall stick to my scoreline of 2-1 for Australia. 340 would be the par score for Australia to bundle out England and then bat the way they have done in the past to get an edge over England for rest of the series.
2001 and 2007 Australia - India series were far better than this contest.....

lol. I read this post after posting my comment on the first post. Seems you agree with me on Freddie.
Even I want the scoreline to be Aus 1-0. But dude, Eng scored the runs man. 300+ will be decent. Plus, they have much hyped the lack of spinner thing.
I say this might be a draw.
Btw... do you play super selector... or fantasy cricket for that matter?
