The Ashes

I was hoping that Australia would win the 1st test so that it would turn out to be a great series but now that England are 1 up I think that they will win 4-1.

Mind you all was not bad news as the Stormers apparently out thought, out played and out scored the so called mighty Bulls. I even read on ABC that the Bulls threw the match in order in have an easy route to the final. Bulls fans are just like United fans. Big mouths when they win and when they lose they find all the excuses in the world and then disappear back down their drain pipes.

Super Rugby titles : Bulls 3 Rest of SA franchises 0

Australia are well up for the 2nd test and will win the match as every visiting team to Lords always puts in that extra 10%.

Can anybody give a 5day weather forecast for the 2nd test please?

The weather looks good, mid to high twenties for everyday of the test, no rain.

They can have 20 seasons in one day, you know you have more chance of finding winner in a 20 horse F&M handicap Rob....<

weather is going to be dry and hot 26-31 for the duration of the match

Gents any predictions for the first ODi btw Sri Lanka and SA... I feel we may find it a tough the first game or 2 in those conditions, Sri Lanka to win the first match for me.

Try this Rob... use the "key" to the right of the map to check out temperature, wind, rain etc but looks to me like 5 days of pretty decent weather

Sri Lanka have just arrived home after a long tour of England (champions cup) and then they went to the West Indies or a 5 day ODI so they may just be a bit tired. Pile on SA to win the first match but Sri Lanka to win the series.

O come on guys when last did the Island have 5 consecutive days of sunshine....()
