Go to "The Ashes" thread. The one thing you can be sure of is that we won't still be referencing the ludicrous "crowd referral" from today's game in the year 2435 like you lot will still be sooking about "underarm".
Wrong answer. Just as I suspected. You clearly missed the smiley face. Surely you are aware the Ashes is played between England and Australia so has no relevance what so ever. You guys are the worst sportsmen in the world and the worst losers. The correct answer is "your team outplayed us and deserved to win" You should have listened to your captains losing speech for some humility. This comes from the greatest cricketing nation the world has ever seen. We get the same crap from the Aussie supporters of the greatest Rugby League nation the world has ever seen when we beat you at that too. Glad you brought it up and I have no doubt you clowns would repeat that underarm incident in a heartbeat if you could.
BTW Steve, can you look up who won the last world cup and who we beat .... it escapes me at the moment
Just as I suspected. Still sooking about underarm. Pathetic. The Ashes thread is the default cricket thread on this forum. No point starting a new one for every series. Plenty of other cricket has been discussed there, but I don't recall any other team's supporters getting their knickers in a knot. Funny about that.
You bet, if it upsets you guys that much I'd get our bowlers to send them all down underarm The game today was SO IMPORTANT to us they didn't even televise it here
I do, I get pissed off every time that idiot Watson is picked to play Funny that they've decided to have the ODI series as the Chappell-Hadlee trophy seeing as how Trevor Chappell was the underarm boy
You basically said we didn't deserve to be in the final and to boot, rugby was a poofters game. Fabulous sportsmanship.
All your chips are on the one shoulder again, when did I mention rugby ..... and it is a poofters game .... I use to play it You need to get a sense of humour, my best man lives at Hawkes Bay , he will lend you his for a while
Whoa you are the moderator who decides which thread we post in. Really that arrogant? Funny you brought up the underarm incident, I had actually forgotten it. Thanks for bringing it to the fore. I am not starting a new one for every series. But didn't the Indians or someone just clean you up recently? My knickers are not in a knot. Yours clearly are because we just thrashed you and you wont acknowledge it. Not that matters, we have come to expect the arrogance.
Lol. You're starting to sound like me after half a bottle of scotch. Or Aircon anytime. For the record, what did you think about the critical dismissal today of Marsh? None of the NZ players really appealed, but after the replay was shown on the big screen the crowd went nuts and for some reason the umpires then decided to have a look at it. I actually said to my friend who was watching it with me "that's out" immediately on seeing it live, and I have no problem with the decision - just curious about the method of arriving at it. (I know QLD is pretty Neanderthal so I'm not surprised moretti didn't see it, but it was on telly here in SA.)
If you thought you were going to get a mature constructive conversation about cricket with this bunch.. Wrong sorry
Thanks Graeme, clearly a newbie I haven't posted one serious comment in this thread , never planned to, but Steve had to bring up the underarm episode .... he's a troublemaker, luckily aircon knows nothing about cricket
I am at least 3 hours ahead of you! I didn't actually see that bit, I will try and revisit it. If you are out you are out. Is it a rule that unless you appeal strongly you can't be given out? They will always get it wrong sometimes. It totally evens out over time. Same as any sport.
Yep, it's why teams scream out when they think someone is LBW, if no-one appeals the ump just continues on as if nothing happened
So after 12 posts from Oz still no one can bare to say well done to the Kiwis for winning the series. Cause it hurts so much? Instead you want to beat up on your eastern ANZAC cousins. I even announced you as the greatest cricket and league nation in the world. You guys are like a mini America with your it's all about us attitude.
Turn it up. We are nowhere near the best cricket nation in the world. Don't know what that other poxy thing you refer to is, but at the moment England and maybe South Africa are definitely better at real cricket than we are (read: Tests). Well done on the series win - you did deserve it - but let's be realistic, even you will have forgotten about it by tomorrow. Or maybe not.
So am I, imagine the whining if they lost ..... wait, they did , the test series they had before xmas didn't go their way
