[Closed] Anyone want to talk about the cricket?

becasue we are not Australian and we are set to be humiliated again?

ah, but the press/public/cricketers were so confident and cocky on the the morning of Day 2... my how we have crushed the English spirit into the Welsh soil 😀

We'll be aiming for 300+ this afternoon, you just watch Haddin & North tee off now they both have hundreds 😀 then it's 30 odd overs to take some wickets tonight before winding up proceedings tomorrow 😆

No thanks I am busy watching paint dry

it's very dull. England wasting time and the Portaroos seeming content to just bat and bat.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a lot more interesting.

ha ha... 4 followed by a 6... and that's our highest score against England since 1934 😀

England aren't wasting time, they simply have nothing to turn to... and yes, we're happy to bat and build an insurmountable 1st innings lead, this is all about humiliation now, maximum psychological damage for the rest of the series 😈

England are wasting time. Because they have nothing to turn to.
meh. Dull draw.

this won't be a draw mate... we'll roll you fools for less than 200, I can't see England finding some spine to bat this out...

Haddin and North are going to "tee off?" Are you sure about that? I don't know much about sport but that sounds wrong.

fewer. and it takes some serious delusion to think that aussie attack could get 20 wickets.

by the way. 'we'? You writing this in the dressing room, presumably?

we bowled you out in the first innings guv'ner... and the pitch is two paced now and turning, plus we actually know how to swing the ball...

'tee off' being an Aussie colloquial for 'hit the ball to all corners of the ground'

[url]

nope... but being an Aussie, I feel a personal connection with my team, hence the we... sorry if it causes consternation 😀

btw, used to play against Mitchell Johnson back in the day, always knew he'd go on to better things (though I did hit him for a few runs at times 😀 )

[i]we bowled you out in the first innings guv'ner.[/i]
I wasn't playing either

whatever 🙄

oh look. I think haddin just 'teed off'

TMS- aussie commentator to stat man "would you like to tell us how many times aus have made 700" stat man "no". kind of how i feel, dont want to know...TDF beckons

ISTR "you" won the first test in 2005...

what does ISTR mean?

ah... just worked it out: "I seem to recall", right?

1 down... 9 to go 😀

2 down... this might be over tonight at this rate 🙄

bloody rain 🙁

He he he, the tactic of playing a test in Wales reveals its merit. I'm thinking we should go for more tests there in 2013 😉

There won't be a 5-0 washout at least 😀

3 down... no escape for the Poms today 😀

It's Wales, the only place on earth where it can rain without clouds!

:prays for rain:

there's blood in the water now...

"only cowards pray for rain" 😀

Only idiots don't pray for rain when you're 4 down, 80 overs to go and your only specialist batsman is padding it away!

Anyone want to talk about the cricket?

Nope 🙁

'cos we're getting humped..........again!

my brother is working there and rung me(from behind the practice nets, could hear the machine pumping them out!) up this morning offering free tickets today. im doing tax returns instead. cant work out which is worse.....

Anyone want to talk about the cricket?

Yes please 🙂

Could't give a toss what happens now, just happy to see McGrath wrong...

Get in!

[i]ah, but the press/public/cricketers were so confident and cocky on the the morning of Day 2.[/i]
sounds just like the aussies on the afternoon of Day 4, that.

And at lunch on day 5....

🙂

Aussies on the back foot after that test - Should be the first and last test in Wales, shit pitch, shit crowd

Aussies on the back foot after that test

Que? What you talking about Willis?

Couldn't bowl us out, we had shit batsmen, shit crowd and a shit pitch against us - I bet you £50 we win the Ashes

LOL! Don't be too quick to throw your money away. Probably best to remember that they managed to take 19 wickets, whilst we took 6....

Hide your blushes behind this matey

They were toying with you all along - 4-0 England from here on in.

I see Psychle isn't to confident anymore... the bets still there, £50 England win the Ashes, if they don't I pay you £50 - email's in my profile

I've a feeling that Monty won't be playing at Lords. And let's face it, he's no 12th man 🙂

This made me smile too:
