The Ashes 2009

[gabi]

And it was true then as it's true now. The paucity of the bowling performance doesn't reflect on how good the total was.

Not against the Aussies at Lords. Not without your best bowler who's been sent back to Durham for the sentimental reasons of including a crocked 'icon', and not with the beeb fucking up the weather forecast.. my money's looking safe.

Here's Jimmy

I'm sick of the England middle order now. Strauss and Cook did alright yesterday, but it's as if the middle order know that no matter what they do - they won't be dropped. So poor old Monty gets dropped in the name of refreshing the side, and K.P and Freddie get to continue grabbing headlines instead of runs.

You're a Kiwi aren't you? What would you say if your team were offered 425 in the first innings against the Aussies? Especially at a venue where you'd beaten them once since 1896.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Freddie is handy enough with the ball to justify a place IMO, KP however should be out on his arse as a warning to all the others

 

[Nemo]

Her Maj there now.

I'd be worried

Why does Voltaire's comment about shooting admirals come to mind?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Her Maj there now.

Alright for some.

Surely she should be impartial, being queen of both teams?

 

[Nemo]

I'd be worried

You mean because the last time you did you lost?

 

[Nemo]

Given she's half-German half-Scottish, I shouldn't imagine she cares over-much.

 

[tangerinedream]

OH YES!!!!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeess!!!

 

[butchersapron]

Yes!!

 

[Nemo]

The slow finger from Rudi.

 

[Santino]

[butchersapron]

[TrippyLondoner]

[Nemo]

That was a shocking stroke though.

 

[Idaho]

Kurtzen puts his slow finger up Hughes

 

[Nemo]

If Ponting weren't already feeling sick, one imagines he is now.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Yes!

Jimmy Anderson, is there nothing he can't do?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Then she should fuck off and let a proper fan have her seat

 

[Nemo]

Yes!

Jimmy Anderson, is there nothing he can't do?

He can't bowl on flat pitches.

 

[Nemo]

Then she should fuck off and let a proper fan have her seat

Do you want to tell her or should I?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Nearly a 2nd for jimmeh

 

[Santino]

40 minutes of pressure for the batsmen.

 

[Santino]

Yes!

Jimmy Anderson, is there nothing he can't do?

Can he create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it?

According to the Beeb's text commentary, KP is also under the weather.
