So cricket fans, the Ashes is on fairly soon, and at a decent/sociable hour in Korea.

Firstly, im English, and I have a few connections with Baby Guinness who would be willing to show the games all day at the weekend. Who would be up for doing that?

Im trying to find the Australian contingent round here as well, does anyone know of a big website where all the Australians in Korea visit? Trying to get some decent craic going with the two sets of fans

We're really struggling atm, so I guess England has a real chance this time. So I'm gonna say 4-0 Australia.

I think it will be fairly even. The Aussies will want to restore some pride, but the English will be full of confidence at Australia's current lack of talent, leadership and not being able to actually bowl as side out and play a test without a batting collapse.

Hopefully it's on Sky Aussie TV; just need to find a slab of VB and a good website for some banter.

Australia 2 England 1

It's on. Poms all out for under 300. Siddle takes a hat-trick.

Great day for the convicts, even when they're bad...they're good! Kinda like all great sports teams.

If that had been England negotiating those final 7 overs before close of play you just know they would have lost a daft wicket!

Fingers crossed for a good day with the ball for England tommorrow

It's rained in Brisbane this morning.

Should help the English a little.

Top order fails again, just waiting for the middle order collapse.

Michael Hussey and Brad Haddin! Very happy for The Huss especially, didn't think he should be there, but nice to see such a top bloke ton up.

Hopefully a few early wickets in the morning will destroy it as a contest (and take a draw out of the equation). A lot of work for England to do.

I think the Aussies should face facts now, they aren't going to win with these bowlers, especially Johnson bowling (and batting) the way he is.

Well...that didn't turn out as planned.

England far too good in the end. Australia about as close to hopeless as you can get.
