Kan Win Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Thoughts on possible outcomes and all please gents? Somkie you should know that by now. Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust, just bury then. 5-0 Please Good Lord, give us our daily bread Updates and deliver us from all that evil like the "Three Lions and Ireland" delivered us from evil as what they went to do. "Yes", butt, sad they have to go "Up and Under" and "Down Under" for "Victory" True no show it Win P.S. Should members knot know about "Rugby Union" nor "Down Under", just ignore the off topic bit. 1-0 Then. Sometimes Umps are correct and then upstaged as we all know in the 1st innings which was a NOT OUT, so in their 2nd innings, the Ump gave back what was lost in the 1st innings, 1 wicket that was taken away. So all in all, the Ump did play the game fair and square. Nuff said. Win still on 5-0 to win and may the Good Lord's, which they play at this week shine upon them.

7by7 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The only comment Clarke made on the DRS in his post match interview on SKY was that he was happy with the system; but not the way he used it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'd like to see Michael Clarke ditched as Captain at the end of this series. He isn't Captain material I agree with you about Clarke. To much of a metrosexual for a captain methinks. We need a gruff warrior like Border or Waugh etc. Haddin would be the obvious short time replacement if Clarke was unavailable, but after him, I don't think there's anyone whose spot is guaranteed. We just have to let the poms have their time in the sun I guess. They didn't have much joy from 1989 to 2003 when the Aussies won 8 series straight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussies deserve none really...We just got lucky that we could make a game of it and England didn't have the correct strategies to bowl out the lower order. In many ways you could say the game actually was a victory for the Aussies. Perhaps not in the record book, but in the minds of the players.

Will27 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Fella's, slightly off topic but still on cricket. Recently read a book called Fatty Batter. http://www.amazon.com/Fatty-Batter-Cricket-Saved-Ruined/dp/0091901510/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373960373&sr=1-1&keywords=fatty+batter It's about a fat boy in England whose mum and dad own a sweet shop. He still harbours a belief that he might play in the middle order for England. It's a real cack if you get the chance to get hold of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Holy crap boys! Michael Clarke called Shane Watson a 'cancer' on the team says former coach Mickey ArthurMichael Clarke described teammate Shane Watson as a "cancer" on the Australian cricket team, according to documents lodged by Mickey Arthur as part of a $4 million claim against Cricket Australia. In explosive revelations which are likely to send shockwaves through the Australian camp on the eve of the second Test at Lord’s, Arthur has reportedly detailed some of the dressing room acrimony which has marred the national team’s on-field performances this year. In a statement of claim lodged in a Melbourne court, Arthur claims he was the "meat in the sandwich" in the divisive feud between Clarke and Watson, who was vice-captain until he stepped down in April.
