  1. Thrown it away, pathetic.

    sick.

    We're England supporters. We should be used to the typical showers of shite by now...

    COME ON HOGGY!

    Jones has got to be blamed, too many mistakes - all through the series. Bring Read in for the next test - IF we get out of this shit we are in.

    Otherwise there is no point.

    Read wouldn't have made 85 in the first innings...

    Read and Flintoff wouldn't have had a 177 run sixth wkt partnership

    He wouldn't have stuck around with Flintoff enabling him to get his century

    Stupid shot... but Jones should stay

    On the other side of the coin Read is better with the gloves and we could have perhaps been chasing a score of less than 100.

    I don't think we'd have had a first innings lead if Read was playing instead of Jones...

    Number 7 needs to be a batsman nowadays... 6 batsmen aren't enough

  3. can't believe we are struggling to get a poxy 129............unreal

    If it was 229, we would have pissed it in...

    ... but because the total is so small, the batsmen get nervous

    There was a time where Australia couldn't chase any total between 100 and 200 in the fourth innings

    15 runs to go!

  4. FFS did you see that advert with Warne and Goochy in it, Im stunned!! :shock:

    What advert? Is it "Advanced Hair: Yeh, yeh"?

    They are classic adverts... Greg Matthews started it all off with some ads back in Oz... they are hilarious!

    Brett Lee No ball -- keep 'em coming

    Giles gets a couple... come on lads

  5. Ok... so, now Australia are 220 odd for 4... (or for any australians reading this, 4 for 220 odd)

    If you were Michael Vaughan, would you have enforced the follow on?

    I definitely would have... Even if the remaining Aussie batsmen do a "VVS/Dravid", it was still the right decision... can't go back into bat if it's going to rain on the fifth day

    The fact that Australia haven't been forced to follow on since 1988 is astounding to me!...

    Let's hope England take 6 quick wickets on the morrow!

  6. I think I may be personally responsible for England's bad form against Australia in all sports between 1988 and 2003...

    I emigrated to Australia in 1988... I began loudly proclaiming that England would wipe the floor with Australia in all sports... they then spectacularly lost the Ashes 4-0 in 1989... we then proceeded to be utter shite in pretty much every sport... we lost against Australia everything from rugby league, to union, the olympics, even football (and I was at that game)... we were dire!

    Boy did I cop some shit from my mates in Australia over that 15 year period!!...

    Then, in August 2003 I moved to America... three months later, Martin Johnson is holding the world cup aloft... and the cricket team has started to eclipse the Australian team...

    Ribbing your mates isn't the same over the phone or by email... I bloody wish I was in Australia right now to serve it to my mates!... but then again, if I was over there, we'd probably be getting pumped in the cricket and Australia would again have the William Webb Ellis Trophy.
