The Ashes 2009

[D'wards]

Boycott on the radio says this morning has cost us the ashes

 

[Nemo]

in front of your first innings score by tea on the FIRST day,gotta be some sort of record

You'll struggle to get 35 in five minutes.

 

[Nemo]

Why all this bowling outside off? It's not like smothering the scoring rate is going to do any good at this stage.

[Nemo]

how much for an aussie win??

 

[gabi]

1/12

 

[Nemo]

1/12

Even at those odds that's probably the best bet.

funny how you call us bastards when you're the one abusing us every chance you get, eh?

 

[Upchuck]

In Australia that's the expression: pommy bastards. It's the standard way to describe the English where cricket is concerned.

Well, that says alot for the aussies doesn't it?

No bitterly hypocritical references to whinging then?

We are allowed to refer to you lot as convicts, right?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Who is our best batsman though? "Best" is contextual.

Strauss I would say. By some distance in fact, he's the only English batsman who has looked consistently world class in this series.

 

[Upchuck]

Just cos you only scored 100 runs don't take it out on me


ya pommy baaaaaaaaaaaaaastards

I'm gonna call them bastard convicts now.

 

[mattie]

That's the bit I never really understood.

Shouldn't we be referred to as the guards or somesuch?

Anyway, Broad bowling, won't be long now.

 

[tarannau]

Well, it's certainly cheering my dad up anyway. He was propped up in his bed cheering loudly when I arrived, happily updating anyone who passed with the latest scores.

Poor stuff England. Bopara needs to be dropped, the big flash fairy.

 

[Nemo]

Bopara needs to be dropped, the big flash fairy.

Remind me how he did against your lot in Spring.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Two or three players need to go, but there's no way that the selectors will do that much damage to the side at this point. Broad is on six wickets in three matches ffs, that is not a statistic befitting a specialist bowler. Ryan Sidebottom in for him I reckon. Bopara we can safely replace with my nan, or perhaps just a cardboard cutout of Michael Vaughan.

 

[Nemo]

Seems to be some uneven bounce when Broad bowls.

 

[gabi]

Fucking hell, I bet Ponting's loving this. The moronic 'barmy' (you dont need to be mad to work here etc etc) army boo him all the way to the middle and er, look whats happened since What a bunch of fucking drongos.

 

[Nemo]

50 for Punter.
