Ziroc has given us the word to start a new thread to avoid corrupting the old one. No Donut, that doesn't mean that you should take this as a "means of destroying the evidence" of past performances http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif. We all now that the "Decider" in the Rugby is this weekend, and that there are many many days of cricket to look forward too (isn't that right Memsie http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif ).

Hole???? - ah, that would be the WHOLE bunch of fun we are having at English expense http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif.

Actually Davros, it's the hole in the ground that the Lions must be wishing would swallow them up after squandering opportunity after opportunity in the Second Test. Does the phrase "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" seem appropriate? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Well, we're not that used to the phrase here in the Antipodes. Our cricket team is winning! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Here's an article from Britain's prestigious Sun newspaper that I thought was very true. The comments are by England legend and famed cricket commentator David Lloyd. In it he compares the Aussies to Manchester United and England to Swinden Town. Gee, is Swindon Town really that bad? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
<font color="white"> LLOYD SALUTES WIZARDS OF OZ By TOM MORRIS DAVID LLOYD has hailed Australia as "far and away the best team in the world" after their thrashing of England at Edgbaston. The crushing innings defeat inside four days came as no surprise to the former England coach. He said: "It was predictable. It's no use bemoaning what we are and are not, saying it's all gloom and doom. "In Test terms we are second or third in the world behind Australia and maybe South Africa but the first Test showed just how far ahead of the rest Australia are. "This series will show us just how far we have to go to catch up." Lloyd believes that to get anywhere near the undisputed masters during this series England "will have to play monumentally well to compete but that is no disgrace against such a great side." "If Manchester United play Swindon Town they win because they are better. In golf Tiger Woods is the best in the world and there are some wonderful players who never get near him. It's the same in cricket with Australia." Lloyd would not even use injuries as an excuse for England's poor showing. He said: "It wouldn't have made any difference." The former England opener was speaking at Bristol's county ground as he helped launch a crusade to encourage a future generation of England hopefuls to bridge the gap with the Aussies. </font> ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memnoch/memnochsig.gif |
Hey Memmie,
So the gap is not as big as it could be then - the gap between Arsenal and Swindon would have been bigger http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif. And for good measure, we have an Aussie leading the Tour de France - is their no end to our collective sporting talents http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif (oh, and I won at golf this afternoon too - those links courses will be coming up in 5 weeks http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ). ------------------ http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/davros1.gif |

Davros, Memnoch - you two guys work so well together, you should think about getting together as a double act and going on the stage. You could be a modern day Mutt and Jeff. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
