THE ASHES, SCG, DAY 5.

Not a big day, the Beer didn't even last till lunch. :(

Smith made a half-century and top scorer of Australia's second innings. A good start to proving why he replaced Marcus North.

Only two Australians made a half-century in the SCG match.
And they were both bowlers.

I'm thinking Australia should just not bother with batsmen any more, just pick 11 bowlers for the team.
(Plus MHuss. And Haddin. And, because I'm feeling generous, Khawaja.)

And apparently, Clarke has quit being Twenty20 captain.
Hahaha.
No idea who will replace him. Cameron White, maybe?

And that's the end of my Ashes blogs. Which are pretty lame but whatever. Deal with it. :P

THE ASHES, SCG, DAY 4.

England goes berserk, and make 600+ runs while none of Australia's batsmen has made over 50.

England's batting is way above Australia's.
Prior to today's match, I didn't know Prior could bat. He made a century. The tail enders made about 30 runs each.
Australia needs to learn reverse swing. Or, for a start, just swing the ball consistently. :P

Also: Out of all the Australians, Johnson has the highest score (53) of the whole match at Sydney.
Pretty embarrassing for the rest of the team. :/.

And well done to Smith and Siddle for sticking it out till stumps. Only one more day to go, hopefully they can hang in there. :)
