They have been deflecting everyway possible desperatly looking for excuses why they are losing this series. They need to have a good hard look in the mirror. https://theshovel.com.au/2023/07/24/england-wouldve-won-ashes-5-0-if-the-rules-were-different/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont speak highly of the English i must admit. You should hear what my Kiwi friends say about the Aussies. Actually, just as well you don't: I have to cover my ears; me being of a delicate English disposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 There you go taking your Ashes back home to Aussieland after a drawn series the only reason you won was due to the 3rd test being rained off us Pom's did you in the final test making it 2 all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That win was a lot like the recent Thai election. They didnt just try and cheat one way, they tried them all. Pitches doctored to favor England (the 250 senators), the captain appealing a dropped catch that he knew he dropped {Pita's media shares}, shortening the boundaries (vote buying} and the changing of the old ball for a near brand new one ( the military coup} Anyway, we retained the ashes as usual and when the Aussies look in the mirror they will see the "Spirit of Cricket shining brightly back at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think there had never been a Test match washed away. And that the weather had never assisted the home team’s endeavours previously.” He went on to say England had been selective in their memory and said the home team had been “shameless” in preparing pitches that best suited their advantage. “In defeat they have claimed to be moral victors,” he said. “They have applied the letter if the law and the spirit of the game selectively to suit their actions.

Well, maybe you don’t remember the decision only 5 years ago, to take sandpaper onto the field of play at Newlands against South Africa; oh but that wasn’t a ball change by the umpires was it, it was completely changing the ball they already had, because it wouldn’t swing for the poor little luvvies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
