Dave40 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 This thread always goes quiet when the ozzies start loosing..Just in case Dave40 hasn't seen the score - Ozzies finished on a fairly dismal 156 for 8.

On the bandwagon already hey!!!! As for the olympics you guys copied what we did in 2000 !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha "FAT Lady aint due to sing for a day or so yet and this IS cricket, so anything can (and most likely will) happen. And remember it is 5 Tests.

DID the smell of blood give you a hard on 555 No, the smell of blood didn't give me a hard on. But I did expect to see some comments when Andrew Strauss knocked 161 not out on the first day and Mitchell Johnson go for 132, but was surprised not to see any which was when I noticed that this thread goes quiet when the ozzies start loosing. No one expects England to win. The beauty of being the underdogs is that you can blow your trumpet when things go your way because no one is going to rub your nose in it when you loose. Unlike being an Ozzie. You all expect to win and as you're all so confident I didn't think you'd have too much pride acknowledging when your star bowler has what can only be described as, and in the parlance of your people a 'shocker'. Still, early days yet. We'll probably **** it all up at some point. England expects.. Oh, and Gavin - the fat lady has been singing for 2 days.

Dave40 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 You all expect to win and as you're all so confident Thats why we have won so many times over the years!!! We'll probably f*ck it all up at some point. That's confidence for you!!! Or haven't you heard Shane Warnes commentary And the rest of them at skysports botham gower hussain atherton, how many "ashes" series did they win in the last 25 yrs between them?!!!

Sherriff Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Nasser Hussain and Mike Atherton never won the Ashes. They played during the 90's the only decade England never won them. before this period England and Australia were virtually level in Ashes wins, losses and draws. I think Botham and Gower won them more then they lost them. Gower was Captain when he won. Botham won them under Brearly, Gower and Gatting. Of the Sky commentary team David Gower, Sir Ian Botham and Bob Willis have been on an Ashes winning side. Nas and Athers haven't as previously mentioned and neither has Michael Holding but he's a West Indian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bandwagon already hey!!!! As for the olympics you guys copied what we did in 2000 !!!!! No, but I believe Steve Waugh is in line for a special award from the ICC - for being the only cricketer to have successfully sledged every single test playing nation, including umpires. Oh, and doing it whilst playing for the only test side in history to never win the Spirit of Cricket Award. I believe it isn't going to have his name inscripted on it, it's just going to say 'bogan'. >insert line of lols and five's here< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitschiguy Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I was going to say deciding weather or not to enforce the follow on will be tricky but Strauss might not get the opportunity.

The pitch looks a lot flatter today. Lords does flatten out after the second day - wouldn't mind chasing on the 5th day.. 9 down now...i think we should enforce the follow on. If we don't and we get dug in we might make the mistake of batting too long and not leaving enough time to bowl the aussies out. Just need this last wicket first!

I would enforce it too - even if they make 500+ it will only leave them 300 in front (last wicket has just fallen) and chasing 300 on the last day at Lords should be easy.

(lol+5 five's+5) Dear Sherriff So tell me, how do you know me, I mean, have we ever met ? I don't think so, Yet you call me "Bogan". It has been long held knowledge that people often accuse others of being, what they in fact are. It is not always true ofcourse, but judging from your comments I suspect it is close to the truth. This is an open forum and it is about sport and the love of the game of cricket Most of us enjoy a bit of banter or sledging if you prefer, but you Sir seem to want to take it to the next level for what ever reason, maybe an Aussie gave you a hard time at school. If so get over it. Have some fun enjoy a bit of friendly sledging and ofcourse the cricket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on, go and eat your sanger, you scamp. >lolling all over the place< so glad to provide a source of stereotyped amusement - suppose a ginger minger has to find moments of joy wherever they can. After all, the rest of the world scorns you, no matter their nationality. No the timing was merely an approximation, not an exact count. The difference I was quantifying was that you had stated 'only' which means singular, while in fact the truth is that 7 teams out of ten have not won this 'coveted' and 'glorious' award, ergo my 1 of 70% statement. Simple arithmetic really. If it confuses you too much, get your carer to draw an example with your crayons; I suggest the old ten apples exercise, it seems to work for most of below average intelligence. Also thank you for your dietary concerns; no deep frying involved. Merely some fine grilled (as I mentioned 'grilling' originally I can only presume your powers of comprehension are on a par with your basic arithmetic skills) smoked Ayrshire bacon, served on a ciabatta roll with some chorizo, sliced baby plum tomatoes and some fresh iceberg lettuce. Delicious thanks. Funnily enough, have never tried the deep fried mars bar and had to get a report on it from a TF friend who tried it in Bangkok of all places. Looking forward to your jolly old tail being back between your legs where it belongs at the end of the Ashes series old chap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
