The Ashes

At least one Aussie stood up to them in the long room!Gave it back just as hard as we got!

 

Yes! The quietly spoken one!

What a bunch of hypocritical wankers, which team has used lollies to shine the ball, used a bottle top to lift the seam, used vaseline from their eyebrows on the ball

Never saw an English player banned but Oz banned Smith, Warner and Bancroft (and I believe they should have been banned for life but in view of this swill dished up by these pommy ****s, both spectators and press ...... [press, what a joke, the Fleet Street press have ALWAYS been a disgrace and a pack of kants] I'd almost give them a pass !!!)

The best cricketers I've seen are Lillee, Chappelli, Walters, Gilly, Cummins , Hadlee, and maybe Warne ....... you know Hadlee was great because I always hated seeing him bowl or bat against Oz

 

As you say:

Perhaps it's time for us to change beer brands.......................for the next 5 days:

That made me LOL

 

The English get mad, we get even and laugh

 

The Headingley crowd is going to be sensational.

 

OFFS,seriously!

Ponting had already planned a holiday - it's a beat-up

 

Yeah but all the other security is there,did you read about the brave Brits and the woman who turned out to be Steve Smith's mum and the 11YO kid.?

 

We're not perfect, I still remember the John Snow incident

That was shameful

We need to remember this is just a game

As Keith Miller said once when asked about pressure "pressure is having a Jerry on your tail when you're in a spitfire" or similar

 

You’re quite right, but it’s not us that are carrying on like pork chops.

It’s the idiotic and incredibly hypocritical Poms.

 

You were there, what was it like ?

 

It’s more the media than anything else, I suspect.

Bearing in mind that I spent all my time in the Cotswolds and left the day after the Lords Test, I still did get the impression that while the average English supporter would agree with the position of their team and disagree with the runout, they’re not feral about it.

Poms well in front. Wood is a very dangerous bowler.

Broad is still the biggest f-wit in world cricket.

 

Keen to see Boland have a crack,much better track than Lords.

Aussie batters look ordinary ATM.

 

What is with the gay pride stumps?

 

Yep. And while I don’t like anyone getting injured, I think the side is stronger without Green in it.

A couple of ordinary dismissals and some very good bowling.

Special mention to J. Bairstow for doing his best to keep us in it. Again.

 

Is this Test sponsored by Greg’s Spas Pty. Ltd.?

 

You noticed that as well.....

 

Legend Mitch Marsh.

 

Yep Mitchy made it look like a Sunday walk in the park..Shame about the others!..

 

Warner has got to go

Was watching the game with Troy and said "Warner will go in the first over"
