[Nemo]

And the moral here is: slow and steady wins the race.

 

[Nemo]

The Siddler in now.

 

[JimW]

It is kinda funny though, you gotta admit. Your captain, best (altho injured) player, wicketkeeper and your new find are all saffers

When you've done the hard work of taking civilisation out to the benighted corners of the world, you're entitled to a bit back in later years.

You wiped out 90% of my nation's indigenious people. That's civilisation? Let's not even go to what your queen did to Australia's...

They were occupying the outfield.

 

[gabi]

This is why we love seeing the poms lose

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[marty21]

This is why we love seeing the poms lose

which won't happen in this Ashes

 

[gabi]

why dont you just shut up gabi and admit defeat?

I've won, you boring gormless idiot

 

[Santino]

I sincerely hope you aren't about to start defending Australia's recent record on race relations.

Anyway, this is a cricket thread.

Not the best time to be losing your sense of humour as well as the Ashes.

Gabi's a Kiwi.

 

[butchersapron]

Gabi's a Kiwi.

Same thing

 

[Balbi]

I've won, you boring gormless idiot

Bloody hell, everything really is upside down there

 

[JimW]

Gabi's a Kiwi.

is there a difference? One sheep farmer's much the same as another when all's said and done.

 

[gabi]

Same thing

I love the English.. How they built an empire I'll never know.

[Nemo]

Some balding blokes in the crowd have their heads burnt cricket-ball red.

 

[gabi]

One rapist and cultural fraud is much the same as another when all's said and done...

 

[Nemo]

I love the English.. How they built an empire I'll never know.

A sense of vaguely embarrassed superiority.

 

[Santino]

I love the English.. How they built an empire I'll never know.

That's the trick, isn't it? Keep your opponent guessing. The French never saw us coming.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ah keep whining gabi, you ignorant prejudice arsehole.

 

[gabi]

A sense of vaguely embarrassed superiority.

True colours! I had you down as a classier sort tbh..

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Anyway, onto what matters: 7 wickets down aussies, how does it feel?

 

[gabi]

Ah keep whining gabi, you ignorant prejudice arsehole.

I thought I was on ignore cleetus?

 

[JimW]

One rapist and cultural fraud is much the same as another when all's said and done...

Don't knock me hobbies.

 

[JimW]

Side bet on what Siddle will get? I reckon he's got about 30 in him. Gritty but it's all against him here.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

This whining from gabi/others is gonna make this victory so much better.
