The Ashes 2009

[TrippyLondoner]

hahaaha

they should have an extra's for 'head byes'

 

[Nemo]

4 leg byes off the temple.

 

[gabi]

what a gent.

Why the english think ponting is a cunt is beyond me. He's a competitor, but a fair one from what i've seen.

 

[Balbi]

Ouch. Trott didn't duck that either, took it like a beaut.

 

[baldrick]

Katich has had a good time in the field this match.

he has hasn't he? a couple of good catches yesterday. plus the batting

Its banter ffs.

 

[marty21]

Clapped ff and shook his hand as he came in.

Shook Fred's hand as he took the crease, few words between them.

Shook hands with Flintoff when he came out to bat.

respect to Ponting

i don't think he's a cunt at all. proper sportsman imo. he's not a fluffy guy like fred though. hard as nails.

 

[gabi]

Read back thru the thread. He's a cheat, a liar and a cunt apparently...

 

[Nemo]

Lead 350 now.

You forgot about him being a whinger.

people might say that but i doubt they mean it. gets you riled though doesn't it?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

He does whinge though, and has done after the cardiff match but then corrected himself during the rest of the series cause he knew we would all hate him.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

She was honest at least. 'I've only been following cricket for... um, a year?'

Perfect guest then for the lunch break on the crucial day in the deciding test of the biggest contest in the world cricket.

 

[Balbi]

I've got a costume party tonight, and my mate has foolishly said that if England get 400 up on the Aussies he's coming out in full pads and whiskers as W.G Grace. I told him he might as well dump the whiskers, suck a lemon and smack himself in the mouth and come as Ponting

 

[gabi]

It's his last tour over here and he's routinely booed whenever he comes out to bat... That's just a bit shit really.

 

[baldrick]

I told him he might as well dump the whiskers, suck a lemon and smack himself in the mouth and come as Ponting

you're on fire today

 

[Balbi]

I'm having a particularly good day as it happens

 

[baldrick]

It's his last tour over here and he's routinely booed whenever he comes out to bat... That's just a bit shit really.

er no, he got applause for his last innings.

i agree the booing was shit and immature, but you know real cricket fans can't afford ashes tix any more

 

[Nemo]

It is, but it's also a back-handed compliment, like fans at the Oval in 2005 chanting 'we wish you were English' at Warne and McGrath. It's also people sticking two fingers up at the ECB.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

It's his last tour over here and he's routinely booed whenever he comes out to bat... That's just a bit shit really.

he said it doesn't bother him and expects it now anyway, he accepts it. we are hardly going to will him on to do well.

 

[Balbi]

Bosh!

 

[fen_boy]

Ha, one up the arse!

 

[Balbi]

Bit of light banter between Punter and Flintoff, big smiles all round there

 

[TrippyLondoner]

 

[Nemo]

He's taking a bit of a battering at silly point.

 

[Nemo]

31 runs left until Balbi's friend has to dress up as the Doctor.

I lolled

 

[TrippyLondoner]
