Reasons why Australia can still win retain the Ashes

Stuart Broad.

Mathematically they are only one test behind.

Mitchell Johnson’s mum loves him.

Freddie will not be allowed to use a wheelchair on the field.

Nathan Hauritz is god.

Ian Bell.

Giles Clarke never wears suits that fit him, James Sutherland does.

Shane Watson won’t play.

Marcus North is sick and tired of no one knowing him and will come out swinging making a better than a run a ball double hundred.

The real Mitchell Johnson flies in tomorrow.

Jimmy Anderson just looked at the stats and realised he is shitter than Mitchell Johnson.

Emma Prior keeps sitting on Richie’s knee.

If England wins Mark Nicholas will have to start supporting England again and that will cause a rip in the space-time continuum that will force the whole planet to be sucked into another universe.

They‘re playing England.

    One reason why England will win – Ricky Ponting.

    Cheers,

    Do I see signs of JRod jumping from Sehwagology to Hauritzology? Not cool JRod.

  5. Alok says:

    Two words..

    NO KP.

    I expect 1-1 at the end of edgbaston

    You forgot to mention Justin Langer’s return as opener.

    local knowledge from a birmingham boy – it’s gonna rain.

    and rain.

    and rain.

    stick a tenner on the draw.

    Siddle’s numbers are worse than Mitch’s.

  9. Matt says:

    I reckong had Mitch not exploded in Perth and then in 2 of the 3 Saf tests not one would be batting an Pattinson – it’d be business as usual from a wayward bowler with the wicket taking x factor. I reckon we need to keep him andpossibly shoehorn clark in there too – Clarj and Hilf opening, siddle and Mitch to follow- take the pressuer off him a bit.

    Play McDonald. As I had mentioned in an old comment, his dibbly dobblies sure will piss all over Sherminator and Bopara.

  11. Pete says:

    No KP v Ronnie showdown alas.

  12. [...] wasn’t until JRod pointed out that Mitchell has better figures than Anderson that I got to thinking a statistical analysis could be insightful on the bowlers in this series to [...]

  13. Jake says:

    This just in – No, they won’t let Fred use a wheelchair, but they will let him use a segway.

      Jake, Segway, damn, that was that I originally wanted to write, but i couldn’t remember the name of them.
