Don't be too cocky though and I am not really allowed to divulge any information, we have just built a cloning machine - bill was rushed through parliament in a late night sitting - first priority Shane Warne, and next Mike Gatting for you guys ..... :first:

[TPC]

[93patrol]

[fracster]

Now if you cloned Warne, Ponting, Gillespie,Steve Waugh,Gilchrist, McGrath and Langer, you`d have a half decent team..................:D


Lions, well ,we had to field a weak team and let you guys actually win a a game at some stage...............:D


I have a sneaky feeling that this banter may come back and bite me, Christ, imagine the grief i`m gonna get on here if we lose the Ashes and the Lions tour..................:biggrin:

[kevin07]

ade get in while you can that's the idea I would go in early if I was a pom with a team full of pakis and curries and south Africans why is that cause you poms cant play sport and to top it off you have a university testing on ways to tamper with the ball,get that up ya kilt me old mukka.kev

[fracster]

Kepler Wessels?

Usman Khawaja?

Lets not start on how many Samoans play rugby down there guys.

Granted, we have a few players born overseas, but that is a legacy of the Good Old British Empire, what ho!

[fracster]

"SYDNEY, June 19: Pakistan-born leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed was on Wednesday named on the Australia ‘A’ squad for a tour of Africa beginning next month, despite also being in contention for selection for the Ashes series against England."

Nuff said Kev, me owd mucka.............:wink:

[fracster]

Strong team,should be a good game.

[jack]

Hey fracster,

An enormous advertisement showing a wallaby having sex with a lion has been painted in a field near Tullamarine Airport, designed to be visible to passengers on departing and arriving planes.

The 170-metre-by-90-metre image by online bookmaker Sportsbet, features the slogans "Rooting for the wallabies" with the twitter hashtag #rootingforoz

GO WALLABIES

[Woof]

Fracster you are a sh@t stirrer mate....LOL
The only reason that we didn't do well in the Champions Trophy was to lull you blokes into a false sense of security.....................and so far it appears to be working:harhar:
We have already started to celebrate the Ashes win:icon_victory:

[fracster]

Like the advert fella...............:wink:

Not shat stirring Dawgman, just a bit of banter, nothing serious mate. Kev and I had a pm convo, we reckoned it would be a laugh as long as people didn`t get too arsey about it. Plus the odds are slightly stacked in your favour, me being one of the few poms on here..............:biggrin:


On a serious note, Ricky Ponting announced his retirement from all forms of a cricket at the end f the summer. A great batsman,fielder and captain.Some people didn`t like Ponting over here,thought he was arrogant,I didn`t think that,he was a winner and hated losing, nothing wrong with that. One of the best batsmen around in my opinion.

[Clunk]

Nice to see the welsh team filling in for the English in the Lions tour ;)

Don't slap it, tap it!!!!

Was not being serious mate, shat stirring is just a sort of friendly comment down here................all in good fun here as you know.
As for ponting, no comment

This thread should be a ripper once the rugby and the cricket starts, but I think that you may need to get some more poms behind you...........................But, if we get beaten in both the rugby and the cricket then you will not hear from me for a loooooong time..hahaha

[fracster]

Good to see you have a bit of respect for Ponting, he was a brilliant cricketer.
Loved watching him fielding, could hot the stumps side on again and again and a brilliant catch.
But he will always be remembered for his batting.

[Woof]

We should win the ashes, Aussie cricket team doesn`t look great,BUT, you always up the ante when playing us,so who knows.

[fracster]

Cheeky bugger!

Nice change to the thread title fella.................:biggrin:

[graeme1969]

Notice Ponting and Katich had been playing well over in the old dart for their respective county sides. Could do a lot worse than pup sending out a SOS to them considering how the team is going at present. I guess they could give Warney a call as well but I think he well and truly has his hands full with Liz (poor bugger :devilred:).

[Clunk]

[fracster]

Cooooeeeee, i`m back.

I think India are going to beat us in the final,the final of the tournament you lot got knocked out of early doors.

But anyway,still have not seen the highlights of yesterdays game,read like it was a tense,close affair. Was that the best the Wallabies can play or have they got something in reserve?

[kevin07]

ade me believes you got lucky not bad for a population of over 100 million

[patrolmq]

Aussies showing the Poms the way!!

showing the Poms the way to lose? Or am I missing something.

[fracster]

Seems very odd sacking your coach so close to the Ashes,rather than after them,I guess the new man is ready to come in now. Who is it going to be?

[kevin07]

well ive heard that there bringing in buff I hope so he will add a bit of c%#t to there moral highground sometimes you just got to get rid of duds

Well Doggy, are you ready!!!!?????......... go on the Lions

Some say I might tap to much.......

[Woof]

Yeah I'm ready Clunky, we did well last time.............the best of 4 countries play us and we nearly won...
If it had of been us against the 4 countries, one on one we would flog the lot of them

[Clunk]

A nearly win is still a loss though mate and what youve got to remember, most of the Lions team are actually the Welsh team

Some say I might tap to much.......

Ooooooh my heart is all a flutter..... another tense game

[fracster]

So bloody annoying that I can`t watch the games. Halfpenny missed the last, potential winning, kick of the game as you did in the previous game.

I hope that both teams don`t have too many injuries and they can field strong teams for the last game.

Bollocks to it, i`m going to the pub to watch the last game.

[93patrol]

Now your getting into the Aussie spirit fracster

Tell you summat mate, I can`t handle drinking in the morning, so could very well be very pissed after the last game.

Should be a cracker.

[93patrol]

Me either but if you have a good fry you'll be right. Plus once the game starts you won't think about the time cause there'll be a few boys already drinking and you can't help yourself.

Well I can't. Bloody peer pressure

I'll have to watch the third game now to see what all the fuss is over,
@ Fracster ,,,,Aus is divided into two most from NSW and QLD will follow league and/or Union
the rest will follow AFL football, but most will watch any sporting event ever made, Car racing being Bathurst,
one particular horse race The Melb Cup. WE love our sport that's for sure.

[fracster]

Saw a rerun of the game, I think it was a fair result to be honest.Aus shaded that game.

Norths tackle.........jeeesus.

[fracster]

I was trying to be civil, but bollocks to that, the gloves are off now sunshine.

How the hell can the lions get penalised every time the scrum was in your half, but you managed to keep it straight in our half? Oh yes, bloody gamesmanship, or cheating, us northern hemi guys would never resort to such antics...........:wink:

We`ll have the big guns out for the last game and whip your collective arses.

Afternoon fella.

8 hours wreck fishing, ten people on board, three blanked,including me. So I drank some beer instead of losing any more stuff.

11 fish caught,crap day,but it happens, next time will be better.

23:55 here Kev, been out down the pub for a while, but always willing to share banter and mirth with my new found aussie mates,even though you cheat at rugby you scallies.

[kevin07]

well now your in today you will realise the folley of your ways and the feasibility of of a combined 100 and whatever million against us 20 million stallions over here. now get a grip on reality pom. kev

[fracster]

Yeah, but a high percentage of those 100 + million think exercise is switching the bloody X Box on and off mate.

[kevin07]

yes we know you lot eat to much that's why you have a university coming up with ways to tamper with the ball or using players from all over the world Mc cague comes to mind we still have a laugh over that one. why don't you bring back Gladstone small the only pommy you cant hang.

[fracster]

Final team selection looks powerful,dropping O`Driscoll was a shock, but he has not played well.

Should be a cracker of a game.

Kev, your gonna get a battering at cricket,see the light and accept that fact mate.

[fracster]

I read this poem the other day, it reminded me of you pal..............:smile:



Like a Night Club in the morning, you’re the bitter end.
Like a recently disinfected shit-house, you’re clean round the bend.
You give me the horrors
too bad to be true
All of my tomorrow’s
are lousy coz of you.

You put the Shat in Shatter
Put the Pain in Spain
Your germs are splattered about
Your face is just a stain

You’re certainly no raver, commonly known as a drag.
Do us all a favour, here... wear this polythene bag.

You’re like a dose of scabies,
I’ve got you under my skin.
You make life a fairy tale... Grimm!

People mention murder, the moment you arrive.
I’d consider killing you if I thought you were alive.
You’ve got this slippery quality,
it makes me think of phlegm,
and a dual personality
I hate both of them.

Your bad breath, vamps disease, destruction, and decay.
Please, please, please, please, take yourself away.
Like a death a birthday party,
you ruin all the fun.
Like a sucked and spat our smartie,
you’re no use to anyone.
Like the shadow of the guillotine
on a dead consumptive’s face.
Speaking as an outsider,
what do you think of the human race

You went to a progressive psychiatrist.
He recommended suicide...
before scratching your bad name off his list,
and pointing the way outside.

You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart.
You’re heading for a breakdown,
better pull yourself apart.

Your dirty name gets passed about when something goes amiss.
Your attitudes are platitudes,
just make me wanna piss.

What kind of creature bore you
Was is some kind of bat
They can’t find a good word for you,
but I can...
TWAT.

Well played, better team won, hope you have a bad case of beer flu {hang over}lol

[kevin07]

well fracster in the 26th minute with that halfpenny kicking another I decided id go out and check out the coppers black stl trolls (more interesting) I was walking around checking the things they have done to them, and lifted my head and one the boys was beside me, turned a bit and saw that I was surrounded by 6 of them how ya goin fellas I just love my trolls I said. he returned with we don't like when people get close as they try taking the lights and then started talking to one about his troll. but I did notice one thing they do to the trolls I like was under the headlights where the gap is between the bullbar and lights they had some u shaped rubber folder under there to fill the gap looked good.

[kevin07]

fracster KISS ME THISTLE.

[fracster]

Beer flu is not here mate.

But,let us be honest here. We beat you handsomely in the last game, but, if that last kick in the first game had gone over,you would have won 2-1. Aus thoroughly deserved the second match win,we were the same yesterday, so it came down to one missed kick. Hlafpenny should never have taken that long range shot at the end of the second match,it was at the far reach of his range and the guy had played 82 hard minutes.Maybe a tap and go to gain ten more yards?

The difference yesterday was that we mullered you in the scrum,our front row were simply to good and that was down to Corbiserio being fit again.

A cracking series,both teams contributed to that and no silly gloating from me guys.

I really wanted the guy to get 101,then get out. Felt for him getting out on 98 to be honest.

Great fightback by the Aussies, I don`t get why people over here are so shocked,last thing you lot do is give in and not fight,so not a shock to me. Hell, even when you had a great team, we could get you down to 150 for 5 or 6, then Gilchrist would come in and score a ton plus.

That is crap for you mate.It is on sky over here,so radio only or me.

[TPC]

I really wanted the guy to get 101,then get out. Felt for him getting out on 98 to be honest.

Great fightback by the Aussies, I don`t get why people over here are so shocked,last thing you lot do is give in and not fight,so not a shock to me. Hell, even when you had a great team, we could get you down to 150 for 5 or 6, then Gilchrist would come in and score a ton plus.

I could not go to bed until he was out, at first I felt bad for him not making 100 but then I saw the smile on his face and the standing ovation he got from the crowd, making 98 was a fantastic effort.

You ain`t won diddly squat this year mate, what makes you think your gonna start now?

I am a one eyed Aussie supporter, I am right and everybody else is wrong.
Don't counter my rant with past events and facts.

I do believe if a batsman knows he is out he should walk, I know few players do but I always respected Gilchrist as he always walked.

[fracster]

Gilchrist did.I wished they all would, but they don`t,which is a pity.

Rant away mate.........:tongue:

[MEGOMONSTER]

Gee, I just seen the scoreboard, they really slowed the game right down, taking forever to make runs.

[fracster]

Just seen Broads chip to slip.

How the hell did the umpire get that so wrong?..................:smileyvault-cute-bi

[threedogs]

Part of the game , its up to fielding side to convince umpire He's out.
Its called "APPEALLING", now we have slow mo replays etc , I don't like them
I like human error seemed to work ok for first 100 years, worked both ways,
but umpires decision was/is final. We ran out of replay appeals ,What a crock of Shite.
Stop looking for excuses and "play Ball". Time will tell which team is better this time around.

[fracster]

Rogers c Bell b Anderson 52 177 121 .........Every team has a player that can dig in and stay out there,nothing wrong with that most of the time.


Hard one to call this first test,you could well get the runs,depends on the two that are in I think.

G'day Trendsetters!

C'mon Zimbabwe C'mon" whops wrong farken match. lol

Bloody good first test, hope they are all this close, now come on you buggers, finish your lunch and get back out there.

[fracster]

Been out all day cutting trees mate, work before pleasure sometimes.

I hope every test is as exciting.

[kevin07]

bloody pommies rode their luck on this one

[TPC]

Been out all day cutting trees mate, work before pleasure sometimes.

I hope every test is as exciting.

Just need one small change for the next test, its the poms turn to loose by 14 runs.

[fracster]

Could well be the case mate.

[TPC]

What happened to the good old days when Aussies won everything and the Poms lost everything, its turned completely around.

[Drewboyaus]

Not only is Bell boring, Broad is a bad fcuking sport.
He was out and he knows he was out but would not walk.
What a wanker!

And put your glasses on Ump.

I can tell you, after more than 20 years of playing cricket (and I might go around again this year) I never walk. I have had that many shockers called against me over the years (both bowling and batting) that I view anything I get away with as the swings and roundabouts of the game.
Not a fan of Broad but he did what nearly any other cricketer would do for the reasons stated above.
No one else to blame but our top order for losing (maybe the bowlers for too many 4 balls). And Clarke needs to work out how to use the DRS properly.


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[aceblueheeler1992]

i don't know if anyone saw the channel 7 twitter/post thing. something about stuart broad posted on his twitter about golfing and having carts, channel 7 said on that ' stuart broad, still not walkng' haha made me laugh

[aceblueheeler1992]

i can't believe people really think that broad not walking was the defining moment.

[aceblueheeler1992]

majority don't walk, this is test cricket, not local b grade. if anyone should be blamed , it;s our top order. cowan sucks

[kevin07]

yep definitely time for ed to stand aside just hasn't done enough

[fracster]

You lot ready for getting your arses kicked again?

[TPC]

The Aussies are going to trounce your lot this game, that last game they were just getting acclimatised.

[fracster]

Yeah,yeah,yeah.

We`ll see mate.

If we can keep this up this test is looking as close as the first. Provided of course the batters can do a decent job. Which would be a first!

Yeah I was putting the batting debacle out of my mind, and giving the bowlers some credit! But if we can roll them before lunch or even tea and the top order can actually take their time and do a job we might have a chance in hell.

Even though we lost the last test it was close for such a big run chase. We'll obvious need to do a bit better this time!

so its 188 for four tp the english in the second innings. the aussies currently needing 421 to draw........................................ sorry chaps it aint gonna efn happen, time to cut your losses and fly on home lol

Yep clunk, i think you've nailed it. My patriotic optimism is wearing thin and its not as if the poms are that good, its just that we're ordinary. Bowlers better than the batters but that's not saying a whole lot.

Shocking batting display by you lot, we are going to bat the day out I think,maybe leave two days to ball you out.

Or we could pile more runs up in the morning.

Mate, I remember you lot thrashing us when Waugh was in charge, it isn`t any form of sport when the opposition are so bad,like we were then and you are now.

The Lions rugby games were great entertainment due to how close the games were, this ashes series is not entertaining. Your guys really need to buck up and make a game of it.

[kevin07]

im so disappointed these guys just have forgotten what cricket is to us playing England its about time to man up for christs sake the kiwis had the better of these poms a couple of months ago

Funny as I was thinking just that when I replied. How quickly we choose to forget. So yes fracster you are quite correct on all fronts. I just don't need another source of reminder- i've got too many already!

We simply just don't have the batsmen in the team to get the job done.
There is no one in the top six (or the squad) who I look at and see the next Hus or Clarke or Langer. No one.
Not one of our batsmen give me the confidence they know how to play a long innings. Techniques are shonky too and don't hold up under pressure.
Bowlers will win you test matches (and we have plenty of them), batsmen loose test matches 'cause you've gotta make enough for the bowlers to bowl to.
Sadly I predict there will be more innings totals around the 100 mark before this series is done.

Yep I agree, it is killing the game.
I love tests and enjoy the one day games but 20 20 I cannot watch and it is teaching the guys that their wicket is not that important.

[fracster]

All countries play 20-20 mate, cricket needed 20-20, it has created a lot more interest in the sport.

[macca86]

Watching cricket I watch test match first then one dayers ten soccer golf paint dry then 20/20 its rocks or diamonds. Cricket is a gentlemans game now its just a cheap whore that sells herself. We didn't blood in young bats men for tests and put to much pressure on them in the 90"s and 00 you had to average 80 or better in our domestic comp now you get a couple of 50's and you bat for aus.

[Drewboyaus]

Yep I agree, it is killing the game.
I love tests and enjoy the one day games but 20 20 I cannot watch and it is teaching the guys that their wicket is not that important.

I also think it gives so-so players an inflated sense of their ability......
Glenn Maxwell is a prime example. Is he really a player worth $1M? Not on your life, the guy hasn't even completed a full season of state cricket.
I don't reckon some of them give enough of a sh!t......get dropped and go earn another half a Mil from some bogus Indian league team. Meh!
Personally, I prefer 20/20 to 50 over cricket as a spectacle to watch but test cricket is where it is at for me....suffering badly from sleep deprivation.

Agree with that mate, test cricket is the pinnacle as far as i`m concerned.

Dunno if you get it over there, but we had a great interview with Gilchrist on the radio here during lunch.

To apprecate the view from the mountain peak you need to have seen the depths of the valley below (or words to that effect). That's in Steve Waugh's autobiography - surely our best modern captain and more importantly, leader. Now that we're in the creek at the bottom (no without a paddle jokes please!) we can start our journey to the top. So lets march on.

[fracster]

You guys ready for another beasting?

[threedogs]

Sounds Kinky, but hopefully we'll show a bit more ticker, this team has no idea the pride they should show for being in the Australian cricket side.
I'm putting it down to way too many free sun glasses and hair product. Start docking their pay and you'll see an attitude change.
Half a mill to lose, I'll be in that, pack of POONS, wake up

Must admit, that I am very surprised by this teams, seemingly, lack of fight and bottle. Never expect that from any Aussie side in any sport.
Maybe i`m wrong and they will prove me so.

[93patrol]

yeah i think the batsmen finally turned up, either that or Boof got out his whip finally

[threedogs]

What's going on with the umps ? Worst decision in cricket ever, players careers are on the line with DSR or what ever they call it,
Not a happy camper, the 3rd umpire even though he is "Ump of the year" should be replaced straight away. IT'S JUST NOT CRICKET
Well done to "PUP" on his ton.

[kevin07]

well fracster you better brace yourself for a good old fashioned aussie slagging theres no gents over here its quite obvious that you pommie cheats have turned to the umpires for assistance

[threedogs]

Bit harsh , Don't think they are allowed home town umps

[TPC]

I don't believe the umpires would be biased at all, just incompetent and their incompetency has effected both teams.
But this last error should not be able to occur, if we are going to have the DRS system (which up to now the Aussies have used poorly and wasted) they have to get it right every time, there is no excuse for a wrong decision like this.

[threedogs]

Would have thought in the name of "sportsmanship" that either the keeper or bowler would have called the batsman back, The keeper for sure.
Now it being the "ASHES" and all, maybe all bets are off and its win at all costs, sad if true but I hope not, it used to be a gentleman game.
yes I have played and not too shabby at it either. But come on that has to be the worst decision ever in history of the game, cant remember a worse one.
anyway bring on day 2

[Clunk]

Sign of the times unfortunately TD, no such thing as a gentleman's sport anymore

My folks went to the Google Play Store and all they got me was this lousy Motorculture App!!!!!!!

[threedogs]

yeah, sad hey its all about the mighty $$$$$$, lets hope no more cr#p decisions and some decent cricket.
They bring in all this technology to improve the game ,but it hasn't happened, A bit of human error here and there ok
but why didn't the central umpire show some balls and say not out, its just not cricket IMO

[fracster]

Can`t comment as I have not seen the decision. But there have already been some dreadful decisions this series, Broads for example, I hope there are not too many more.

[CorbinsGUte]

Just saw root getting out to a fine edge and he started walking before the umpire gave his decision.
That is good sportsmanship, he knew he was out and made it easy for the umpire, if only all would do the same.
I know a lot of people say you should not walk but I still recon that is bullshit, keep it a gentleman's sport and make it easy for the umpires.

[TPC]

What is wrong with these umpires, Bresnen was no ware near out and given out, there was lots of daylight between his bat and the ball.
And he did not ask for review, guess he thought his wicket was not wasting a review for as he would have known he did not hit it.

As I said previously, these umpires are incompetent towards both sides.

[fracster]

Mate, these umpires are ruining this series. You should hear Boycott giving them hell on Test Match Special, but he is right, they are bloody useless. Your chap given out on 1 and Bresnan given out today, bloody shambles.

Enough on the Umps , we have made a decent total letting us back into the game, play ball !!!

[fracster]

If we avoid the follow on this morning, could be a good game this one.

[Drewboyaus]

If I were Clarke, I wouldn't make the English follow on anyway. The bowlers have done a shed load of work. Depending if we can get the 3 required quickly enough I'd be batting like blazers for a session and a half and having a go after that to give the bowlers a bit of a breather. Get Davey Warner to blaze a ton in a session to give the English half a chance of winning and open the game up.....
