Lets talk Cricket!!

wheres the ANZAC never say die attitude,
great pic Tuppa says it all pml
how hard can it be, close eyes and hit it hard

[threedogs]

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

Thats the problem, thats what the aussies are doing. This is Test cricket, not 20/20.

Agree Tuppas pic is a classic. Should be emailed straight to the aussie changerooms with a message to play like men. This is not fancy pants IPL pyjama hyjinks where nobody gives a toss who wins or loses, so long as its flashy and exciting; but hard and gritty Test cricket where courage, determination and strategy are required and the respect of cricket fans (Australian and English) are won or lost.

Unfortunately for Australian fans our team has been neither tough nor gritty and is being mocked. Toughen up, have some pride and play like a warrior. This is not slap and giggle.

To date i have had the highest regard for Clarke's captaincy. He is an excellent strategist (imo better than Ponting and Waugh, akin to Tubby Taylor) but something's not quite right at base camp and it's showing through.

I say moustaches be made mandatory for inclusion in the team! Bring back tough!

Well said mate, 100 % agree

OK, lets nude up...lol

[threedogs]

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.

Dreadful shot selection by the majority of the Aussie batsmen. Playing at balls that they didn`t need to,trying to score quickly,especially in the first innings. I reckon there are behind the scene turmoils going on.

England played well in the last test, but why did Aus bat the way they did? Dreadful performance by the batsmen, truly pitiful.

If memory serves me right, Johnson had a shocking tour last time the Ashes were in England, but grew a massive handlebar for the next series in Oz and set about tearing the poms new ones, multiple times, to lead the Aussies to a 5-0 whitewash. That, right there, is scientific, peer-reviewed and undeniable proof of the majestic power of the lip lizard!

Boony, Border, Big Merv, Chapple, Marsh, Lillee. All legends, all would not be seen dead with a fluffy duck in hand or a diamond stud in both ears. Blokes we looked up to as kids and dreamt of being as rugged, mean and gritty as they were. The pure essence of tough and formidable.

Yes, my fellow Australians, it is time for a revolution! No player can be selected to play cricket for this country without a hairy upper lip. The bigger it is, the higher their pay and biggest mo gets captaincy!! With this action plan in place we are guaranteed to win the next 5-test series at least 7-0, maybe even more!

Dont think Smitty can grow facial hair yet lol

Thats exactly it Fracster all the batsmen bar Rogers gave their wicket away, the bowlers never had a chance as there was no total of substance on the board. Be interesting what happens in this 5th Test even though its all over.
