Thread: The Ashes Tour

England have been bowled out for fewer than 200 runs ten times this year, in 22 completed innings.

YIKES.

Imagine the scores if you took Root out of the equation

You sound like the cowardly type.

They will be on the piss giving it "We're shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit and we know we are", etc.

More like a realist, if my team in any sport is totally shit from top to bottom and getting their arses handed to them in a hand-basket I'd rather leave and go for a few beers and a steak somewhere less depressing. Not being retarded, I know that sticking around singing stupid fucking songs isn't going to change the result and there's no moral victory to be had regardless of what serial losers have convinced themselves of as they break into full voice while their team implodes in front of them. Again.

Well why in the name of Jesus would anyone do it if they didn't think it was going to help in some way or another? Getting flogged = start singing songs even louder.

You're going to have to help me understand why anyone sane would do that, and why it's a uniquely English thing much like screaming like a fucking Banshee at golf tournaments every time a ball is hit is a uniquely American thing to do. Similarly, they don't seem to able to pick up on the fact that nobody else does it and probably just think it's the rest of the world that's fully retarded.

This is not a strong Aussie side and England's capitulation was complete.

I hope both sides can improve to give the fans some value for money!

No one apart from Noober Dave knows exactly which team that is.

All we know is he's not an Aussie, spends most of his time shopping for English groceries near Boystown Pattaya and that he probably owns a Brasil soccer shirt and All Black's rugger top too and Jimmy White potted the brown on his favourite himshe.

Well done to the real Aussies anyway

You don't necessarily need to be an Aussie to enjoy watching the Brittles getting unmercifully flogged at games they invented and the rest of the perfected you know, in fact it's almost a sport in itself watching them get thrashed after thinking they were a chance. Still though, nobody sings like them

Yeah but there are no abbos on here, well apart from that kiwi who thinks he's part abbo.

Maybe, or maybe from a country that doesn't convince themselves they're going to do well in every event they enter, especially against smaller population countries, only to get their arses handed to them yet again and remain the perpetual laughing stock of the sporting world. So that narrows it down to everywhere on the planet, except England.

^ International man of mystery and one way banter

^Got to admit, winding the Brittles up and watching them get all indignant after another flogging has always been a favourite pastime and obviously, there's never been a shortage of opportunities.

imagine being consumed by so much jealousy towards our great nation and at the same time being too ashamed and cowardly to tell everyone where he's actually from!

The big chicken!

Which one do you think he is?

^Oh look, the Cairo tefler has entered the chat

He's (unintentionally) absolutely fucking hilarious, I'll give him that.

Anyway boys you've got 5 days of strutting around like bantam Roosters convincing yourselves things are going to be different in Adelaide. It should have only been 4 days but, well, you know.

I didn't realise that England had played 10 first class international games this year.

I think played is stretching the truth a little bit. They've been present might be a better description of events.
