I Bloody hope so, Flag of St George on the wall behind the desk will do it, my Aussie mate was telling me in 2005 he awoke to find his pommie neighbour had drapped the flag over his car

Giving them all a good spanking on the Fantasy Ashes as well

 

Wont these bloody Aussie lay down and die!

Gower wants a punch as well for suggesting we should be happy if ponting gets a few runs. Typical loser mentality of the English at work there. It's about grinding them into the dust like they did us at Headingley!

 

Get in! Their two best batters gone now. Freddie what a throw! Cool as **** with it as well

I've got some lamb for later..... be lovely to wash it down with some nice Aussie Shiraz to celebrate the winning of the Ashes

 

Time to turm in, hopefully it'll go to the 5th day(with 9 wickets down) so I can see it !!

 

this is slow, we need another 2 wickets really

 

Nearly done now, EVEN we can't lose it from here

 

 

sod it, they'll never last.

344-9 let me be the first to say...


Well done England, goodbye Freddie

 

Woot!

 

YES!!!!!!!! ENGLAND

Got to be honest did have my doubts after Headingley

 

Told you!


2-1


I have tears

 

Good going by England

 

woohoo we won!!!!

 

What a time to choose to go to bed

 

Man of the match? Trott or Broad?

 

It's 00:57 here and all the Aussies on board aren't talking to me now........................ time to collect the winnings off them I think GET IT RIGHT UP YA!!!!

Russell ( one of only 3 Englishmen on a rig in Australia)

 

Broad

 

Ponting is whingeing about the wicket already, poor wicket to play on according to him. Funny how we did alright with it isn't it.

 

It's your national duty to make as much of this as you possibly can

 

Nice one Wuz! FM will be gutted he went to sleep.... ***** united fans eh!

I'm celebrating with a nice glass of Aussie Shiraz. It's not bitter at all which is a shock!

 

FFS Bollox



Why couldn't thay have done that before Tea, 5 tests, countless hours of lost sleep and I miss the finale, it wasn't 2005 but it will do

The highlights won't be the same.

I had to sleep I have had so little this week, and I only got 4 hours last night !!

Still I did stride in this morning as two of the biggest cricket heads turned the corner to a chorus of Barmy Army Barmy Army

Well I never thought we'd do it going into the match so doubley chuffed

Every radio statio DJ is seriously pissed off

 

You must be on the West side of the country a little closer and a couple of hours nearer to home than me.

I hope you gave them "heaps mate"

 

and to rub salt in the wound, they've been demoted in the test rankings as a result!!

 

Great stuff. But let's not forget that this was not a great Aussie side. Just compare it to who else was around during the great summer of 2005 in addition to Ponting, Michael Clark, Katich etc.

Matthew Hayden
Damien Martyn
Justin Langer
Adam Gilchrist
Shane Warne
Stuart MacGill (unused)
Brett Lee
Shaun Tait
Jason Gillespie
Michael Kaprowicz
Glenn McGrath

That's a team in itself!

 

I don't know about that, don't forget a broadly similar side has just come back from beating South Africa (in South Africa). I think that this team will go on to (nearly) every bit as good as previous Aussie teams.

I say nearly as I genuinley think that Warne is irreplacable

 

Delighted England captain, Andrew Strauss, said: "I always knew we would win the series as long as we matched Australia on a collapse-for-collapse basis.

"So you see, everything went exactly as I planned it. Yes it did. Shut up."

 

What chance do you think that England has of emulating that feat this winter? I assume that we will have Pietersen back, but no Flintoff, of course.

 

Can I give you my answer about 10 minutes after the last test?

 

Let's not get carried away and this paper over some of the crack's.We still got some problem's with Cook,Bopara,Bell and Collingwood.
