Nevill should be keeping in our test squad instead of haddin the hack. He can not only bat, he is the best glovesman in the country.

Wow. Dave added a personal insult to his one line post. Best you go and lay down again. You must be knackered after accomplishing such a feat . I'm tired too. Guess I should have an early night ...

Thanks, Marmite. Those be the odds, open to all Aussie supporters who are confident to buy me 25 pints for every 1 pint I buy them...

I think you've misread the Bloke's Guide to pub betting; you want odds like that, go to a bookie. You want a friendly bet between mates you gotta go straight up. (or bet something like an avatar since you earlier claimed poor due to a new house build.)

You Aussies want it every way... You want the bet, but only willing to pay 4% of the odds... Very bad form, imho...

Sounds like you're welching, I'm not a bookie.

The odds are either they will get it or they wont.

Bet a beer, or an avatar or something like that.

Yes or No ?

For a beer, I will take the bet - you sneaky, cheating, dodgy, convict bastard! No offence...

^ you are being the sneeky dodgy one here Betty. Willys offer is fair. You must not be as confident as you keep saying regarding a white-washed series.

White wash won't happen but I'm confident England will win easily.

I think the ball coming onto the bat a bit more will help our batsmen and that is showing already.

As WDR keeps telling us our batsmen are good are bowlers are not.

Suits me that the batsmen are scoring already and that will be a big improvement on what we dished up last summer. The bowlers only have to continue with their second rate performances to bowl the Strayans out.

It won't be 0-5, it'll be close, but we have the winning mentality and have proved that despite 'winning' a minimal number of sessions we are capable of winning the important ones.

1-2 will suit me and it won't be much more than that.

Tipping Mitchell Johnson to get 25+ wickets in the series.

Already told ya, I'm not a bookie, I dont do odds. You're the one convinced of the 5-0 whitewash, so pony up!































or secretly you aint confident of a 5-0 whitewash, are you ?

Don't worry Betty willy always cries off at the last minute where drinks are concerned.

That shit bloke's been at it again.

Incorrect, he showed and put his hand in his pocket when I and my kids met up with him recently.

Nowt wrong with Willy on that score.

This one's amusing. He's usually lucky to get within a couple of feet of the stumps, so I'm not sure where this new-found accuracy has suddenly come from.

It was a gentle dig at his no show with BLD, Terry and others last week.

Watching him bowl is like chucking a lighted match in a box of fireworks. Plenty of fizz and multiple targets.

Changed his action. Bowling faster because of it too.

Does he still bowl directly to second slip?

^ No. You are thinking of Steve Harmisson

I think this cocky over confidence regarding johnson may work in our advantage.

You've got more of this to look forward to, Wally - enjoy...
