a great escape from football for me. :evil:

RAIN? It's a con every advert I see for Oz is blue skies and happy people. It's all bull!! The weathers dreadful over there. Don't be fooled.

At least pjfan will get his lunch.

Just Skyped my daughter. She and the boyfriend are going to head to the cricket after visiting a bead shop. WTF? What is wrong with people? It's alright for some.

If only it rained all day :( . Ah well England played better in every area than Australia and it would not have been fair on them to settle for a drawn series.

theserialthrilla

wooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Australia has now dropped to 5th in the world rankings.

The only positive is that Michael Clarke retired from 20/20 cricket.
If only he would retire from all forms of cricket.

But he's probably doing that to concentrate on tests. Some heads seriuosly have to roll after this series. Starting with punters, the guy has no form and hasn't for very long time.

Hughes, Clarke out.
Why the fk are Cricket Australia so keen to have Clarke the next captain?
He is the CA's golden boy and has not earned the title.
Steve Iceman Waugh was the best captain, we need more like him.

theserialthrilla

the iceman cant be replaced.

you dont even have a icecube at the moment .


who could be captain...????

your best 3 players this ashes

hussey without a doubt the best
haddid did really well..
siddle best of the bowlers.and looked a better batter then most of your top order.

watson 4th he did well but never got a big score lots of good starts

Alright: Here I am. 1.34, been on the drink since about 9.20

Even though Australia lost, a great day. Sat right above the barmy army, got some great footage.

Then met a couple of blokes, after the match we ran on to the ground. GOt turned around quick smart. Went to a nearby pub, met some great poms. My mate went home and they encouraged me to stay. Great people who honestly said... 'best part of our trip was not winning the ashes, but it was meeting you' ah shux (and that is no joke)

THey songs were great, I shook stuart macgills hand. Hung around the queen, spoke to the head of the barmy army. GOt some great footage of today.

I really enjoyed today. Now I got a friends bucks (stagg) tomorrow. I will be fucked, as I am fucked now.

nuffingman

Glad you had a good day pjfan. Have a great weekend recovering. Ooh stag night, it's not going to happen.

theserialthrilla

i disagree, i have many mates that support other teams and we drink together. there are more small minded pricks at football but not all of us are arseholes.

theserialthrilla

but i didnt see one person say a bad word or do anything to upset the "other side"..

i love my football..well crystal palace fan so going off it fast .

i just think its a different mind set...shit i took champagne and sushi in with me .. :shock: its bovral and pucka pies at selhurst
