    Ashes is my favourite... i hope it would be a very good and exciting series. I am supporting England and i am happy with their first day score. Australian team is looking very weak due to absense of star crickerers like gilchrist and hayden...

    I think Aussi will not speed up run rates as they are leading now and want to finish match by an Innings win as still 2 full days to go so they can take 150 to 200 Runs over England!

    Yeh the Aussies are on top now, I am sure theyll want to score as many runs as possible in their first innings, so they dont have to chase a lot in the last innings.

    Yes their main aim today is scoring fast and put 180+ Lead on England to secure the win but England have good batting line up and they can spend time on pitch! So we wouldn't be surprise if we have Draw results.:D
