The Ashes Test 2005

Ashes retain ashes with Thumping win in Oval.
Warne the magician destroys England.
We might hear this news shortly.

Ashes retain ashes?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Whats this funeral service for Aussie Test team?

Oh I see you mean Aussies retain Ashes

wanna bet?

NEWS FLASH!

Shane Warne sprains index finger in Hotel accident.........

According to two blond, buxom, nineteen year old female witnesses, Mr Warne sprained finger of bowling hand, shortly after returning to his hotel from the Peppermint Rhino Club in London at around 3am.

It is unclear how the accident happened, but sources suggest that he was trying to bowl a maiden over at the time...........

YOU (and you know who I mean) are HEREBY BANNED from making any more jokes like that on my thread













or was it true? I do hope so

In my best California surfer-dude type accent - I am so not going there

Not true at all. What is true is that he got repetitive strain injury from texting too much

great

sprained bowling finger is sprained bowling finger whether cause is sex or text.

Oh I think he would be told to keep his hands to himself until after the fifth test. He's a great bowler but a terrible boofhead. One day he'll grow up.

so who are you rooting for gf?

agree about warney btw. never trust a spin bowler with diamond stud earrings in both ears.

Simon Jones is out. Could be highly significant.

Much discussion on the airwaves here as to whether we want the game or the rain. I think rain will stop play, wont affect result significantly and it will be drawn. So England win ashes.

What you think?

Truly I'm torn. I'd like to see England win because Australia has been on top for so many years that it's time for them to be taken down a peg or two. But the sight and sound of the Barmy Army celebrating a win.....well......it might be a bit too much.

Wait a minute, there's a knock on the front door. Back in a minute.



Back again. Um - come on Australia, win the Ashes lads!

(I just had a visit from the local SportThoughtPolice.....I need to be very sure about my sporting patriotism apparently).

Come on you Gunners!!!

well thats a very balanced and thoughtful response gf.

pity the STP had to beat it out of you

Well atleast if England win the Ashes we got something to be proud about, our national football team just lost to Northen Ireland 1 - 0! WTF!?!

I've told you to be more careful, goodfielder!

Good work on the Jones lad, though!

Play up play up, the game's the thing - or however it goes. Let's just hope it's a good game.....my way of chickening out

Well good evening gf.

23 minutes to go.

listening to joint broadcast bbc radio 5 and abc Perth?

quite funny.

Aussies supporting Australia
English in Australia supporting Australia
Aussies in London supporting England
English supporting England

And Scotsmen everywhere supporting Australia

Michael Vaughan won toss!
England to bat

WHOOO-HOOOOH!.....WE WON THE TOSS!!

<calm down....must calm down>

Glen McGrath is (in Aussie talk) "100% fit" = (in English) crocked.

And welcome to you Lordy. Glad you escaped Portsmouth ok, no little rashes or worse I hope.

I'm just listening to my favourite ABC evening current affairs programme, I shall find the cricket broadcast shortly. Winning the toss must be an advantage.

This afternoon on my local ABC radio station the drive bloke did a phone conversation with one of the Aussie Fanatics going by the name of Disco and a Barmy Army lad by the name of Leafy. They both agree come what may they would be having a few beers together after the game. Totally civilised.


Okay, sledge on chaps! None of that civilised discourse for us!!


Sod it - I just got bitten by a mossie - I hope that isn't symbolic. I squished the mossie though
