The Ashes

[Dec]

MU HA HA HA HA

As I am half *Australian and I quite like cricket..I am supposrting australia in the Ashes.

So, if you may know..last year England won , but this year its looking different.

Australia 1st innings: 602 - 9d.
Highest score: Ricky Ponting with 196
Ducks: Adam Gilchrist


England 1st innings: 157 ALL OUT
Highest score: Ian Bell with 50

Ducks: Andrew Flintoff


I wonder how this test is going to pan out?



GO AUSTRALIA!

[Dec]

oh and this score probably has to do with the small waves in England and larger waves in Australia

[The_WHV_Goose]

Dec, you are "half Australia" then? Either you are very big, or you meant Australian!

Which team did you support last year, when England were winning?

[dougirwin13]

Support England.
Those poor sods need it.
We gave them their decade win last year

Aussie. aussie, aussie!

[Dec]

I supported Australia last year. Good ashes last year..not as good as this year is going to be.

Revenge is always sweeter!

[northswell]

Good job its on in the middle of the night so i can't watch it. It doesn't help that most of the players are on their way back from injury and ain't played much cricket. Oh! and the management won't trust Monty and play the Wheelie Bin instead.

[Dec]

Excuses excuses!

Looks like a pretty good English line up to me!?

[northswell]

No excuses, i think its a one off, and should be o.k when they get this one out of the way, they do need more time in the middle tho.

[dougirwin13]

England are gonna phucking drown man.
You watch.

We gave em an easy one last year.

Now they are gonna take it the hard way

Poor bloody poms

PS. Using "ph" confuses the smart-asre spell checker.
PPS. So does transposing some letters on some words.

[northswell]

Reight "Sheff Speak" now i've had a couple of "tinnies" and your munching your cornflakes, the thorpester seems a lot more optimistic. We'll dig in for the draw, the Harmo will find a rythm for the next test and we'll retain the little burnt stuff
Oh yeh, Dec, you might get bigger surf, and sun and, oh poo just stop rubbing it in.

[Hadow]

Dont realy care about cricket but I tend to support the other team when australia is involved simply beacuse wining in sport means so much to them...bless

[northswell]

I don't like Sheff Utd so just going to watch MOTD to see them get beat again

[SuperNoz]

Dear Dec

Remember in the last Ashes series, you won the first test, and then a couple of tests later your players were celebrating scraping a draw!!!!! You probably will still win this one imo though.

I went to all 5 tests in Oz land four years ago and ended up in Surfers Paradise during Schoolies week

[dougirwin13]

Dear Poms,

It's not looking good for you.

Commiserations

...transposing letters on some words......so that's spelling it wrong, right?!

[Dec]

Sorry..my competetive side (australian) coming out!

[Teags]

Aussie. aussie, aussie!

[FishKid Wales]

Got a little australian joke:

.............1 witha chip on each shoulder

Yes and cricket is shite.
Any1 catch the allblacks game on saturday, we took a beating but i was good stuff to watch.

Dan Carter *drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolll*

[northswell]

Thought we would make it till after lunch, but the inevitable happened. At least the batters showed a little more steel in the second innings. Looking forward to Friday with more optimism.
