The Ashes Thread.

[Headworx]

buy [sic] why does he buy into that gay look

Is this the look you mean?.




Christ on a bike, was this guy wearing adult diapers while squatting down keeping wicket for England (for the same reasons as Elton John)?.

Not much poof in him

[bobo746]

The first two games have been disappointing for me ending in 4 days with one side thrashing the other. A no-contest if you like.

Bugger that i want to see a repeat of the second test,give them a flogging i say.
Bring it on tonite can't wait.

[Bobcock]

It's tonight? I thought it was tomorrow

[reddog]

the Aussies quite rightly will treat Bairstow like a red headed step child and flog him with
some rocket fast balls.

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

It's tonight?

[Bobcock]

The Shackle Draggers have won the toss and will bat first.... fuckers

[Bobcock]

Finn in for Wood

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Mercifully for this series I have SKY.
So nice to be watching without someone flogging cricket Australia 'memorabilia' every over break on channel nine.

I'm no real fan of channel 9 commentary but fuck me Atherton is boring and Beefy talks a lot of shit - not sure which are worse.. all I can get is SKY streams this series for some reason..

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Finn in for Wood

That's just desperation

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

the Aussies quite rightly will treat Bairstow like a red headed step child and flog him with
some rocket fast balls.

So that's 3 special needs players in the England team in Bell, Stokes & Bairstow ( all gingers )

[harrybarracuda]

Finn in for Wood

That's just desperation

Doesn't seem so desperate to me.

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

^ Thought that might come back to haunt me ..

Australia 34/3 (12.0 ov)

[harrybarracuda]

Bloody rain.

Meh.

[harrybarracuda]

Not too bad, start again at 12:35 local.

[cyrille]

Finn in for Wood

That's just desperation

Keep it up.

As your missus doubtless hopefully pleads.

[cyrille]

Broad will be pissed off that Finn took his bunny out of the equation.

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

I said last Ashes that Finn was the English bowler I was worried about most - but then he started spraying it so much he was deemed unselectable by the pommy camp. The yorker that got Smith was a cracker and looked like something Hazelwood would dish up ..

[Bobcock]

Things seem to have settled down a bit after the rain.... I can still see Straya getting to 400 with a maiden century for Marsh.....

[cyrille]

Shane falling in line with the group think about Haddin. what do you Aussies think?

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

I've already said what I think. Have never been a fan of Haddin though.

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

More rain! Miserable fucking pommy weather!

[cyrille]

It aye goin bad so far furus.
Y'up for a bovril?

[baldrick]

what do you Aussies think?

Nevill would have caught root in the first test and it would now be 2 - 0 to us

[cyrille]

Though Haddin took that that 'undercut' catch at the stumps...toughest catch for a keeper.

[reddog]

Just got to a tv,hope the weather holds,lights are on and ready to watch Rogers hit his straps, the other batsmen must of wanted a cup of tea,slack buggers.
poms must be feeling good after some good bowling.
