ANYONE FOR CRICKET?.......

It's worth it just to see the smugness disappear (not all of us appreciate the arrogance displayed especially by our media). And talking abuot the media there wasn't much reporting of it. And to think a couple of weeks ago my eyes glazed over an article in a paper rambling on about the weakness of the England team. I wonder if I can find it again.

I know it's been a while but England have to be magnanimous victors if they win the Ashes.

If there was a raffle going in the Bwitish team and like ONE AUSSIE bought a ticket - who the f#ck d'ya think would win that raffle?


The Poms couldn't win organise a piss-up in a brewery with a pub and a bottle-shop (off-licence) if it was on National Piss-Up In A Brewery Week in Sydney!!!*









*In Melbourne or Adelaide they would have even odds!


Hell. This post needs changing coz I said 'could' not 'couldn't' - this is all the fault of Craven who can't load the correct software to compensate for the prejudices and complete pissedness of Australians on Monday nite! He and Bill Gates are responsible for my enlarged liver and my lack of success with females........

That mystified me, Stilly. I have no idea, really ....

I think it's post-traumatic stress disorder

Ah, I see!

... I think.

If they went into a pub in Melbourne an alluring Aussie female called Olga would lure them to their eventual demise......




if it was Adelaide a wabbit would bite them on their floppy, wobbly bits!

Goodness gracious me!

It ain't over 'til the fat man spins!



I think it's a little early for the poms to be bragging just yet.

Bragging? I hope you didnt read my post the wrong way, or anything.

I will try to rephrase it for the purpose of clarity.

What I meant to say was that I sincerely and honestly think that the game against Bangladesh was a "one off" trick of fate, that happens to the best of teams now and then,
The Australian team are obviously a bit rusty, having not played any games together as a team for a while, and that I sincerely hope that they find their form before too long.
It would be great to have two sides, equally matched in skill and determination, when it comes the time to play the Ashes series.

Oh, and Somerset, I forgot the trick of fate thing with Somerset. Ghastly business.

So, good luck everyone. It should be an interesting summer.


















I shall resist.

You're not resisting Lord E - you're merely laying doggo. Perhaps Ponting's men are also?

Oh dear. It seems the Aussies found a little form last night. Could it be that the team that hadn't played together for 5 months is starting to work the cobwebs out?

I guess only time will tell!!!

<poop!>
a bloody draw! (or is that 'tie"?

anyway <poop!>

That was a bloody good match if you ask me. Exactly what one day cricket is all about.

I loved the way that your guy nearly took an eye out with one of his deliveries.

I think we are in for a bloody good Summer of cricket over here, and the two sides seem evenly matched.

Well played, both teams!

Been a couple more good matches - different results though!

Next week for the Ashes - wish they'd play at a civilised time - these 3.30am finishes are putting some sort of damper on my work day!

lord e said

we have extreme cricket over here.

And I suppose you're all going to interest me in this esoteric subject.

Is there any easy site to see re the whole sport, written for slow folks? I know, I know, Ellpus, our lord, just wrote the ultimate esplano on cricket earlier today. Priceless writing, really, a saver. But not all that useful for a newbie who just might start to pay a wee bit of attention, once in a while.

wheres that osso. I so wanna learn as much about cricket as I may absorb.





























not

he wuz wrong about evenly matched, too!
