Weird test match though Kev, Anderson could be out for the next two. Interesting times ahead.
Thread title says "lets talk cricket" Id rather not.
Whats with trying to win a 5 day game on the first day.
Gone are the days of Boycott and Taverey blocking for
hours on end. Im blaming 20/twenty for this plus they shouldnt be allowed those
bats with the 50mm edges, save them for the short game.
Cricket for the purist is over, Im sure the members of the MCC over there agree
Oh and pray for rain and lots of it lol
Need a 100 or more from the tail.
still confident hundred and fifty more
there we go over in 3 days. Lot of Aussie batsmen need to have a long hard think before the next test.
and the "fat lady" was English GGRRRrrrrrrrrrr
The thread is "Let's talk cricket", I say I'd rather not! LOL
Bloody disgraceful performance by the Aussies..........................
Funny that. Looking at the title I was thinking the same.Quote:

Still blaiming 20/twenty and fat bats!!
Do you guys think Clarke will drop down the order? His form is shocking at the moment.
Can't catch and can't bat. The writing's on the wall...LOLQuote:

All out for 60. See how we go this afternoon.
You chaps are very quiet on here this year, couldn't shut you up last year
The highest score was apparently the extras. Followed by Johnson with 1 less at 13. WTF.
Shite even Ive made 60 in the Aberfeldie Park C side.
Fat bats chasing wide deliveries, let there be rain and rain and rain lol
Too funny John....
Too early eh, thats Australia's best 12
Clarkey didnt disappoint second top score so he's safe.

Darren Lehmann: Not selecting cricketers a mistake
Australian head coach Darren Lehmann has conceded not selecting any cricketers contributed to Australia’s disastrous first innings at Trent Bridge.
“Hindsight is 20/20 but a score of 60 runs all out suggests selecting some people with a working knowledge of a cricket bat would have been beneficial.”
Cricket Australia have put out a call to any Australians currently in England who have played cricket at any level to make themselves known.
“We’re looking for anyone who’s ever held a cricket bat in anger. Beach cricket, kanga cricket, backyard cricket, Crown & Andrews Test Match,” said Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland.
“Anyone who knows the difference between the handle to the other end of the bat really.
“People who have shown a history of trying and not surrendering the minute things are tough would be nice too.”
Lehmann says he takes full responsibility for not selecting cricketers and admits it’s embarrassing that he contributed to Stuart Broad looking good.
“I understand that to Australians, Stuart Broad’s happiness is the salt in the gaping wound and for that I offer an unreserved apology.”
However, Captain Michael Clarke said being an Australian batsman at the moment is nice work if you can get it.
“I wouldn’t call it work. It’s more like collecting millions of dollars for a brief public appearance.”
“Now that runs aren’t an essential criteria for the job, it opens up being an Australian cricketer as a career for millions of people.”
Australian cricket fan Sara Thomas said the Australian team should donate their salaries to all the alcohol she’ll need to try to forget this indelible stain on Australia’s soul.
My son won the under 12s batting association with an average of 65, too bad hes 28 now
Seems Boof and Clarkey dont see eye to eye,
Well the fat lady is singing and she is English, this must be the worst Ashes team ever
as said by the comicbook store guy. Bloody hell what a dismal effort, still blaming the 20/twenty
and those fat bats, what hard about making a 5 day game last 5 days. I still find it hard that they want to finish it in three
Ive conceeded well done Adrian till we meet next time, with fater bats lolGGRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
As much as I hate to put it up here.....
So whats the score then, I haven't been taking notice, 2-1 or 3-1
I'd think the later unless it rains all next week.
Big bats and Ego's to match
I hadnt realized that you were a POM and that explains quite a lot LMAO.Quote:

Nothing wrong with a porn stash.
Only three more wickets, what a pack of girls
if it was footy Id say too much hair product.
Thrree cheers to England, even little George could bat better
Said it all along 20/twenty and fat bats have ruined test cricket forever.
I think they need to make a rule about the size of bats used
so you are forced to play shots. It will never happen so I will say it
and be on record as saying, TEST CRICKET IS DEAD, there I said it
I'll only watch the ODI's now GGRRrrrrrrrrrrr
Well said mate, 100 % agreeQuote:

He [Clarkey] wasnt pushed he sat down with the Missus and decided after the last test to hang up his bat.
And if you believe that you'll believe anything. Just think if he makes a ton at Lords he he he the mind boggles
That is the problem, not enough moustaches. They should all be made to grow one and they should be made to drink 52 beers on the flight over to England in preparation.Quote:

England played well in the last test, but why did Aus bat the way they did? Dreadful performance by the batsmen, truly pitiful.
Dont think Smitty can grow facial hair yet lolQuote:
