The Ashes 2009

Well. You are pommy bastards. Most aussies have no ancestral connection to 'convicts'. anyway. I digress.

It clearly gets on your tits though.

Job done!

And lives in england, funny old world.

 

[gabi]

I've some Aussie blood. I also have pommie blood.

We're a nation of mongrels in NZ.

I know where heathrow is, don't worry son.

And most of us have no ancestral connection to pomegrantes or, especially, being prisoners of our queen, who in fact preserves and gives us access to urban green space which is pretty much the envy of any other country I've encountered, and is probably the single greatest argument against being a Republic. I mean look at the sorry strips of gravel in Paris - fat lot of good being a Republic did those buggers. I'll stick with being a 'prisoner' if it means in my own 'rubbish' parks I can amble across miles and miles of greenery instead of rubbish strips of gravel

Good.

 

[mattie]

We are wasting decent bowling conditions quite beautifully.

 

[Nemo]

So's England, just happened a bit further back.

Why is Harmison bowling all this half-track dreck?

You're a fucking Kiwi?

Jeez. Inbreeding FTW!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

You're a fucking Kiwi?

Jeez. Inbreeding FTW!

Yup. Gotta love them weirdo's

 

[gabi]

You're a fucking Kiwi?

Jeez. Inbreeding FTW!

I'm a kiwi yes. A reluctant one. Anyway, we've been before. Leave off.

Let's enjoy the slaughter on the field.

 

[mattie]

Remind me, wasn't Harmison once the no.1 rated Test bowler?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Remind me, wasn't Harmison once the no.1 rated Test bowler?

Expected him to take the momentum from his wicket to his next few overs, clearly hasn't.

 

[Lakina]

Ponting will reach 100 - I can feel it.

 

[Nemo]

Remind me, wasn't Harmison once the no.1 rated Test bowler?

Yep. And this current performance is an object lesson in why he isn't anymore.

 

[Nemo]

Half-track Harmison taken off now.

 

[gabi]

So watson's about to score his third consecutive 50..

Beefy botham before the last test 'I can't believe they're putting watson in to open, it'll be like a lamb to the slaughter'.

Good player old beefy. Not much of an analyst.

 

[mattie]

It's infuriating. How can he not just bowl fuller?

 

[Nemo]

50 for Watson now. This is perhaps the most craven aspect of England's recent performances - three 50s out of three for a stop-gap opener.

To be fair, he is right though. Watson isn't an opener, despite England's best concerted efforts to make him appear so.

 

[Nemo]

Goddim!

One finally at the stumps and it's an lb - first non-caught dismissal of the match.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

wicket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

watson-the aussies ian bell

 

[mattie]

Who? Has gabi's jinx worked?

 

[Nemo]

Which begs the question of why they've been fannying about bowling half-track four balls for the past couple of hours.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Harmison needs to wake tha fuck up
