The Ashes 2009

[SpookyFrank]

You didnt throw it away,we took it and would not give it back.Schoolyard bullies usBetcha all wish you could push us around the way we push your lot around

Just like at school when everyone knew that the bullies were the ones who had to go home to their foetid council flats every night where their dads would throw beer cans at them, we can rest easy knowing that whatever happens with the cricket the Australians have to go back to Australia afterwards, so they automatically lose

 

[liquidlunch]

[Badgers]

Snake day

 

[HobgoblinMan]

I've lived there - I worked for citibank in Sydney. It was like someone had transplanted a suburb of Birmingham somewhere scaldingly hot and filled it with halfwits.

The Opera House and SHB are lovely though.

eta: Went to se the Oz rules football, very, very good fun and they are serious athletes. The kits are pure village people though.

 

[Flashman]

Tbh aside from Cardiff and here we've been well on top in the series.

All to play for at the Oval and me 2-1 prediction is still on.

 

[Nemo]

Sounds like it was bad rather than appalling. Don't think I missed very much.

Got an inkling from a friend's txt though "It's carrnage in Leeds :-("

 

[butchersapron]

Good on ya, Justin btw.

 

[strung out]

langer? how come?

 

[butchersapron]

Telling the truth. And he has been shown right.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

langer? how come?

He wrote a report for the Aussies telling them basically what a lot of people have been saying for years – that the six-day-week county cricket culture breeds soft players not used to playing each match as if their careers depended on it.

It does somewhat contradict his public pronouncements about the quality of the English 1st division, though.

 

[butchersapron]

I'd be more dissapointed if he didn't write something like that. His words on the county season -he's often said the daft number of games drags the quality down but that it produces great league finishes, and to0ugh games for the 2nd half of the season - last 2 years for example.

He's Justin langer, he doesnt need to be 100% perfect anyway

 

[Upchuck]

Ya soft cock pommy baaaaastards. The Aussies absolutely caned ya.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

oh noez.

 

[Nemo]

Apparently, after all our jokes on the subject, Ramps might be back. Although whether this is just a media fantasy remains to be seen.

 

[internetstalker]

LOL!


My Drunk brother inlaw last night was so adament that England are gonna win the ashes, he gave me odds of 20-1.


I laughingly took him up on that bet for a tenner

and told him never to become a booky

 

[Flashman]

Bugger Ramps we need another Yarpie in there, Trott!

 

[HobgoblinMan]

I hear that Andy Flower is about to ask WG Grace to come in at number 3, but he's lost his mobile number.

 

[g force]

Well TBH Trott and Ramps would be going some to do worse than Bopara and Bell.

 

[mattie]

The crims dropped Hughes for Watson and looked what happened.

(Well, we started playing badly, but you know what I mean)

 

[belboid]

ohh, exciting e-mail I've just got!

SHEFFIELD KIDS HIT FOR SIX!
-RAVI BOPARA GIVES CRICKET MASTERCLASS TO LOCAL YOUNGSTERS

"Okay kids, if you constantly play the same stroke, anyone half decent will twig it and bowl you out for a duck almost all the time!"

 

[Flashman]

I think he'll be okay just not at #3

 

[HobgoblinMan]

Ravi Bopara has number 2 written all over him.
