The Winter Cricket Thread 2013/14 - The Ashes Down Under

[Dostoyevsky]

 

What a day and a half 

Love that guy with a moustache. He's your nemesis England and does he love it, oh yes he does! Making a mockery of you all. What a quality pantomime villain!

Bye bye, bye bye, England

Boooo Hooooh, Aussies make nasty comments, that's not darts

Going to get whitewashed again i reckon. 06/07 all over again.

Just listening to the highlights now. Fucking brilliant

Mitchell Johnson 

Stick it up 'em Mitchell. This series gets better and better.

someone is happy this morning!

I'm on the beer mate. Did I tell you I snucked into Tynecastle when the Jam Tarts were training and got kicked out of the gound by the then manager. Well I've told you now. Keep drinking

Well done Mitchell Johnson,  you sent the middle stump of a number 11 batsman flying. Perfectly reasonable to get in his face.

Classless

Bollocks, that bloke has been put through the ringer by England fair play to him for giving some back.

Completely brilliant to see the recovery of the man. He bowls to the left... GIRUY barmy army bellends.

Back to the actual cricket, I wonder how long the Aussies will bat for? Another session, get 600+ ahead then 5 sessions to bowl England out again?

If England could dig in there, it'd set up a monumental test at the WACA.

Aussies declare overnight. 530 with rain forecast.

5 years ago England lost to New Zealand in Hamilton, NZ. After that game, England dropped two of the 2005 legends and senior players in Hoggard and Harmison. The former would never play again, the latter would never be a regular. They were replaced by an inconsistent talent and a young kid of 21.

Their names were James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Not a bad decision in hindsight.

I wonder if we'll do anything that radical? Is it just easier to drop a bowler? Certainly seems far more frequent. Prior looks like he needs to come out of the firing line, although Bairstow isn't a Test keeper. Get Steve Davies on a plane.

Cook hooks and is caught at long leg 1/1. Captain's innings.

[sonicyouth]

I shouldn't have bothered making coffee

[Nemo]

As Vaughan's just said, something is very wrong. KP occasionally plays a daft shot on 1. Cook does not.

[sonicyouth]

At least Dosser will be happy.

Unbelievable
