The Ashes 2010/11

Well the Barmy Army was given its name by Australians who were amazed that they kept supporting their team even as they were being thrashed.

I'd be surprised if the MCG has less than, say, 70,000 there on Boxing Day. It's the following days that may suffer, there's always a drop off anyway.

That said, the G looks empty when it has a crowd equivalent to a Lord's sell out. The place is massive, absolutely awe inspiring

I hope we can get in with the Barmy Army. My mate is bringing his Palace / England flag.

My Aussie inlaws will be stoked.

A lot of the press gushing over Tremlett now. Potential no.1 bowler in the word and all that (Copyright S.K. Warne).

Tremlett and Swann bowling in tandem could winkle a few sides out over the next couple of years.

 

[butchersapron]

He's playing at the waca morons - broad has to come back in, if we get a fit decent all-rounder...whose dropping out? Bell? Colly?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

he looked bloody good today though. Dare I say it garneresque

 

[butchersapron]

Hush your mouth.

 

[Santino]

He is apparently overwhelming in the flesh. Just a huge walking mountain of a man. He just looks a bit tall on the telly though.

 

[butchersapron]

Did we have this one before?

 

[butchersapron]

Make them grovel

 

[Santino]

Can we get a review on this one?

Did you ever see big bird in real life?

 

[butchersapron]

I think he's gone.

**for another thread**

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Did you ever see big bird in real life?

i did yes. At a charity match somerset played in monmouth. I've still got a bat somewhere with mostvof the team's signatures on it. I remember viv Richards hit about three balls into the river. I don't remember much about garner except that he was big. I was only about ten

 

[littlebabyjesus]

The fascism is whitewashed i see. I don't know why i bother.

Am I missing something?

 

[Santino]

Am I missing something?

It's been known.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

 

[butchersapron]

Am I missing something?

Was a reply to the wrong thread.

Garner in the first class game was scary.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Yeah. He'd usually go for about one run an over in one dayers didn't he. They were just glad to keep him out :d

 

[twentythreedom]

Look at this crap on the Melbourne Age website!

i'll be gutted if i go to a half full MCG on Boxing Day, even my father in law is saying he might not go (in amongst being adamant they are going to bowl us out tomorrow and win the test)
still, i still want us to hammer the Aussies in Perth

that's fucking disgraceful..

eta: i mean the poll stats

 

[butchersapron]

Yeah. He'd usually go for about one run an over in one dayers didn't he. They were just glad to keep him out :d

25% of overs gone - game almost over.

 

[butchersapron]

Johnson's trying too hard, he's going to spray it all over the shop. Few singles many fours. Aussie discipline breaks down in 2nd session, every bowler for themselves.

Good day for the trees.

 

[butchersapron]

120 up by lunch. Leaving balls all day

 

[butchersapron]

Strauss, hold it straight or flat, so now you know. Don't leave it hanging out there.

Ta.

 

[twentythreedom]

hehe... they're useless in the field atm

 

[butchersapron]

You useless twats

 

[twentythreedom]

it's true what the commentators are saying... england are totally on it in the field, it's those catches (or not) that make all the difference. after all, it's taking wickets that wins matches, nothing more, nothing less. come on the ing-er-land!

 

[butchersapron]

Ticking over nicely
