Ashes White Wash

[ozzydom]

The poms do get ruffled easy 

Australia is a far greater sporting nation than Britain, look it up - deal with it

So does this mean if we win The Ashes it will be thanks to the Aussies?

Fart, the derogative names you insist on using for a certain ozzy bowler would probably get you 2-5 years in Oz ,or didnt you know he is part aboriginal.. 

Which derogatory name would that be ozzydom? I can't see any!

[ozzydom]

Funny how when they were losing the Aussies were saying that it had no reflection on the ashes, but now they've won a couple its all 'bring on the Poms'

None of this still masks the massive holes in the Aussie side. If they are going to win the ashes ten they need Brett Lee 100% and able to last 5 days. For all their know how McGrath, Pimp, Warne and Kasprowicz just haven't got enough left to bowl a side out twice.

Mcgrath is an old has been and as for your Puerto Rican drug dealing pimp (AKA Gillespie) lets all laugh [

Comment by Geoffrey Boycott ,former England batsman

Boycott thinks Australia's chances of retaining the Ashes depend on how three players perform - McGrath, Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist, whom he says would be an obvious choice as wicketkeeper for an all-time world XI, given that he is averaging in the mid-50s with the bat in Tests and that he is capable of destroying an attack in a two-hour session.

But which side is he tipping? "I think England will win a Test," he says. "My concern is Australia will probably win two."

[350torana]

Aussies chalked up 261 , top order did well but no-one went on to make a big score, Symonds again a strong perfomance in the middle order. Poms now o for 3 off two overs. Interesting to see the strike power of the Aussies bowlers . Don't have tv access, bugger me dead

[ProfessorFart]

Good effort by the English bowlers on a flat wicket.

Sadly rain has stopped play as things were getting interesting.

I'm still waiting to hear what my jail worthy insult to an Aussie bowler was.

[350torana]

Yep, that great english pastime....the weather ###### shame as this would have been a cracker of a match .

Logged on to baggygreen last night. Watched the whole Aussie innings develope. Cheers good site. Pity you lot prayed for rain just as we got on top. But that's easy in England,all you have to do is think about rain and it p1sses down.

Aussies all out for 197......

England .....4/19 in reply......after only 6.4 overs.....will keep you imformed.....

[gburns57au]

5/33.....less than 10 overs bowled.....

[gburns57au]

A record 6th wicket stand of over 90 by Jones and Collingwood is giving England some hope......these two guys have played well....

[Pie Boy]

Pendulum has swung in your favour again Mr burns

No mate...........I said from the start it's anyones trophey. Only you lot gave us no chance and refused to admit even the possibilities of an England win. But that's the Aussies. Their sportsmanship is akin to a Yorkshiremans generosity, it just doesn't exist. Anyway technically we won. We lost less wickets. But what chance have we with that argument. Had we beaten you fair and square, some excuse would have emerged. As it was, bloody exciting game. Even more so for me. I lost contact on baggygreen three balls from the end. Had to log off and back on again. So we was all wrong. Shared trophey. Well I'm English so it's in my nature to say well played and unlucky Aussies. To our boys, shame on you. Should have stuffed 'em. Oh, I nearly forgot. Special thanks to McGrath for a no-ball & Lee for a mis-field all in the final over. Still that's cricket. Till we meet again boys.

[roscoe]

Another competition not won by Australia and by their own definition ,if you don't win you loose winning being the only option, and so by extension of this egotistical ethos Australia lost.

Explanation or justification please!

[Pink Mist]

only the soapdodgers could redefine a draw to a win, which is strange considering their game of choice invariably ends in a draw

[lampard10]

My mate was turned down for Australian citizenship on the grounds that he was overheard saying ' Well played Mate' to the captain of the team that had just beaten his.

Anyway Bloncs...............it seems lose or draw, the Ozzie population of TV have nothing to say. Sometimes I wish we would keep losing, at least there's plenty of people to talk to next day.
