The Ashes: England vs. Australia

[Davros]

Enjoy your 2 years with them as much as we have enjoyed the last 18. We will look forward to your next visit down under .

What a pity that the conditions saved you today - just when Australia needed a bright sunny and hot day with 98 overs of play we got dark damp and dingy that was unfit for batting after the first 10 mins (when Australia was first offered the light themselves). Now we will never know if your players would have had the bottle to excape the pressure that was building.

Well done to Freddie though - bowled unchanged and did everything a nation could ask for.

I'm glad i'm not the only one to have voted aussie. But i'm well and truly conceding defeat now.

I don't think we can blame the weather or lack of guestures of sportmanship for this loss. Truth is, from the second test onwards, the poms were the better team, hands down. No extended play can be warranted if we didn't make use of the play time that was allocated in the first place. Rain is ever a concern to test cricket, and we can't blame it for a loss. So i dip my hat to all ya poms out there. Congrats for forcing the first follow on in donkey's years and congrats for earning the urn. Just take good care of it. We'll be taking it back first chance we get! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Throwing the towel in already Davros? How very un-Australian of you!

Of course we know your players have no bottle - that's why they went off on Friday. I have a suggestion as to how you might win the next series - get that fat bloke to keep wicket for you, he does everything else!

Lanesra - there is nothing un-Australian about being smart enough to know when I am supporting a losing cause. That doesn't mean that I am waning in my 100% support of the team - now that would be un-Australian.

You will appreciate that I am not one to get out of my seat and walk away just because the team is going through a lean spell. I stay to the final whistle just like I know you and your big bro do. I am on this bus ride for life, and it has been pretty comfortable over the past 18 years. Time to fix this puncture and get back to reality in a couple of years time.

It's not as if we lost a football game to you or anything .

Aaargh! 2 wickets have just gone in 2 balls! *!@$£* Glen.

[Target]

And another one to Mr. Warne!!!

Number of six's by Pietersen 2
Number of time's he's been dropped 2.

That's cool, lets hope Pietersen and Flintoff can build a good partnership!!

[Davros]

Well the boys are going down swinging [img]smile.gif[/img] - will someone please let Pietersen know that he has a bat in his hands and he is allowed to use it to stop Brett Lee from hitting him (Youch youch youch).

Only 72 overs to go in the days play, and this time it doesn't stop until the overs are ALL bowled (well unless it rains).

Looks like the message has got through! Now if only someone could explain to Quidditch that he's supposed to catch the ball we'd be fine!!
