But, it was a one-sided assault. Cowardly by the bowler.

Now, is this cricket lark over yet? Can we get back to the darts or snooker or something else...

Yes. Not successfully, but with all the pads and helmet I'd like the opportunity to face a top sportsman, of course. Most folks on this trhead would, I presume.

Ta for the red.

You could wear your balaclava too and ask Brett if he thinks you're handsome

Mitch just can't win with you guys.

He copped a lot from the English crowds and press when he was wayward, and now he is bowling well with confidence he is accused of being a bully.

I think we can all agree that the art of fast bowling contains a certain mental approach too.

And look at that grip!!

True, but he was supposed to face some balls he could hit, not stand there as a target for a has-been . . . I also think Lee went too far and should be smacked in the gob

Yep, if Lee was any good, he would have knocked his poles over with every ball.

That would have made a much bigger statement than bowling bodyline to a complete muppet

Exactly

Let's do a kinda one more or quits, I think that's fair. In the unlikely event that the convicts get another lucky win, you're upto 5. If the match ends with a mighty England win or a glorious draw then we're down to null all.

Another thing, I'm worried about the sanity of you convicts, never a smart or clever lot at the best of times... You seem to be getting even worse, so, I suggest, for your benefit, that we consider the last test a draw and close this thread now. Can't say fairer than that...

WTF?

We have several players under injury doubts and you want me to bet my four beers against one?

Cheeky git.

alright, done.

5 or none.







mutter muttter fuckn poms and their mutter unfair bets ......

& that's why I like you, Willy; despite being a convict, you have a decent side to you...

On a separate note, I found this quite funny (sorry if it has been posted before...):

Geoff Boycott’s grandmother called up to Indian cricket team

Indian cricket selectors, still smarting from their team’s 4-0 drubbing in the recent Test series against England, have answered criticism from supporters back home by including 114-year-old Yorkshire all-rounder Mrs Hilda Boycott in the one-day international squad to face England at Chester-le-Street, Durham later this week.

‘About bloody time too,’ said her grandson and BBC expert summariser, Sir Geoffrey Boycott. ‘I’ve been saying all summer that my grandmother is a better batsman than this lot. She’s been out of the game for 74 years, but she’s still got the technique to make runs – that’s what comes from playing on uncovered pitches with a stick of rhubarb.’

Mrs Boycott is expected to open the batting for the Indians in the limited-over series and to contribute some vital middle-innings overs with her seam-up military medium delivered in the corridor of uncertainty on or around off-stump. BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew agreed that the presence of Mrs Boycott’s pinny in the slip cordon is likely to significantly improve the Indian catching, but was unsure whether the ball hitting her zimmer-frame would count as runs or byes.

‘At 114 I haven’t got many chances left,’ said Mrs Boycott between puffs on her nebuliser, ‘but as I always told Geoffrey, the key to staying in is not getting out. I’ve had both hips done and my pacemaker won’t need replacing for another year, so I’ve come better prepared than this Indian side. I’m not sure about the day-night games, though – I need to be back at the home for me tea by six.’

Mrs Boycott proved the wisdom of her selection in a warm-up match yesterday scoring 17 off 190 balls. After playing a textbook forward defensive to bat out another maiden, she was heard by the stump mic to say, ‘Smashing shot! You could pay money just to watch that.’ Her innings only came to an end when she was deliberately run out by her Indian team mate, Ian Botham’s grandmother.

One of the Aussies was whining on about Botham being a crap player...

This fella was entertaining too

This is a great watch:



It's easy to forget how good some of these players actually were... Different gravy.

Twit.

let's focus on the series at hand.

I believe we are 4-3 for Ashes tests in 2013/2014?

At least you're honest Mr 5-0

I thought it was a bit weird myself, coming from a guy that has accumulated 31 wickets during the series, the comebacks of all comebacks. Most of his achievements have been borne out of his aggressive bowling and some very poor batting from the visitors.

An abomination of flies during the Melbourne test was the subject of comment by those holding the microphone and to be fair when a batsman is facing a guy who is flinging the ball at over 90 mph toward them, then nothing less than full concentration is required. Being distracted by moving spectators or flies buzzing around one's head is certainly worthy of stepping away from the wicket. The alternative shouldn't be a consideration.

The fact that a bowler has to restart his run is irrelevant. Johnson whinging first to the batsman and then to the press about his inconvenience, well he must be 50% pommie surely?

England wins the toss Oz to bat .

Exactly

You missed the point, Piss Morgan inferred through his tweets,
that his fellow Englishmen, didn't have the ticker to stand up to the
convicts fast bowlers, and that HE would show them how it's done,
by facing up to Brett Lee.

I would put money on, that all of the current English test side, and
most of the former test players, secretly enjoyed the sight of the
big mouth, making a complete arse of himself.
