GlossopLatic Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Someone must have shown this to the England team yesterday morning. This was written on the 22nd of Dec. How the Aussies will win the Ashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Woke up some time between 4 and 5 and saw England at 17-0. For a few blissful minutes, I thought we were batting first after rain. When a blearily accepted the truth, I woke the missus up with a thumping great yes. It's in the bag...

Stitch_KTF Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'd like to take kudos for telling the girl I've fantasised about for 12 months, "Sorry sweetheart, I'm watching the cricket". I haven't had sex since the cricket season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Apparently young POnting has had a Gatting like argument with the umpires. England 439 for 5. Two reasons for the Aussie press to call for change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reasons for the Aussie press to call for change! Only saw the first half hour, then the last half hour - missed all the fun but the Ponting story has exploded. Deadman walking imo - brought back memories of Gatting's implosion on the sub-continent in '88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Pointing fined 40% of match fee. He's got off lightly, when you bear in mind that he's received a similar punishment to a bowler who persistently runs on the pitch or for a remarkably slow over rate in one dayers etc... Will the ICC invoke further repercussions once the match is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Johnson a pie chucker 8/10 times. He chucks to the left, he chucks to the riiiight. That man Mitchell Johnson, his bowling is :censored:e! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the ICC invoke further repercussions once the match is over? I think (don't know) that's the end of it as far as the ICC is concerned. They've seen, charged and sentenced. Interestingly it's been determined as a low level offence. A higher punishment (100% fine and/or suspension) would have been applied if it had been treated as a level 2 offence: "dissent [which] contains an element of anger or abuse which is directed at the umpire or the umpire's decision or where there is excessive delay in resuming play [or] there is persistent re-reference to the incident over time". In other words he's got off lightly - one must assume he kept his language relatively clean and didn't make it personal with the umpires. The pressure on those who run cricket in Australia is different though. They have a team of losers, lead by the first captain ever to (hopefully) lose three Ashes series. The pressure for change is immense and, assuming they lose this game, what better time to change captain? The chap from the top of Australian cricket who was interviewed on Sky earlier amused me. I think he was called Arsene Wenger - he didn't see anything! Edited December 27, 2010 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futchers briefs Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Track looking flat already and a long day in the field ahead for the convicts - excellent. 500 up, declare - hope for a bit of a change in weather, Jimmy swing away and win by an innings and 100+ runs!!! If Carlsberg did Ashes tests, this would be it! It looks like Carlsberg do Ashes' tests as well!! (Apart from changing Bresnan for Anderson!)

oafc0000 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 What has shocked me though is just how bad of losers the Australians are! Virtually empty stadiums (except for England fans) as soon as they start to lose!! Can never remember that in England except for maybe day 5 and its a certain defeat within hours. From day 2 there was hardly anybody there! Same at various other points... I would still turn up and want to see some cricket and have a beer if it was role reversal...
