Whinging Poms v Aussies, 1st Test in Wales Thread

[pickman]

OK, here's the official thread for the first test.

Hilf is in so is Hauritz, go Aussies

[Jather Fack]

Just going to repost my highlight thus far:

Mo apparently reckons McGill was a better bowler than Warnie and should have played in the '05 series. Off to a flyer there Mo :thumbsu:

[pickman]

At least Mitch didn't bowl it to second slip like Harmy did in the last series :thumbsu:

[Hugh Jorgen]

Can't believe they left Clark out. We may as well be playing 10 against 11 with Hauritz in the side.

Would have been nice to have batted first too, the pitch looks as flat as fuck already.

[RoosterLad]

Yes it is a nice pitch to have a bat on. Need some early ones, don't want to let these fuckers get away to a flier like they did so often in 05.

[Ron]

Fuck me no Clark, what a shocker of a decision already.

If Clark was there they would be about 7/10 now, not this 0/20 bullshit.

[Bob.]

Fuck yeah, what a catch!

[pickman]

FUCKING GOT HIM YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Nice catch Huss :thumbsu:

[Hugh Jorgen]

The Hilf strikes, nice catch from Hussey.

[Travyo]

Bopara better fail hard this series, arrogant piece of shit.

[RoosterLad]

Hussey you fucking beauty!

I bet Kingy loved that.

[RoosterLad]

:)Bopara better fail hard this series, arrogant piece of shit.

Almost Vale Bopara lol

[pickman]

Siddle nearly crushes Bopara's throat with a fine bouncer, Dumb prick shat his pants.

Another reason to <3 Peter Siddle :thumbsu:

[FG]

Bopara is fucking shit.

[Ron]

What a great catch by Clarke to remove the pommy captain.

Good ball by MJ, but sensational catch by the NSW champion.

[pickman]

STRAUSS GONE

Shat himself at the sight of a short ball!

[Travyo]

These fucks never seen a short ball before? lol

[RoosterLad]

MJ fuck yeah. They are shitting themselves.

[pickman]

MJ fuck yeah. They are shitting themselves.

Well they are English afterall

[bigburger]

So so so stoked to see Hilfy is playing. Will tear the Poms a new one. Whose the fourth bowler I only just started watching?

[RoosterLad]

We didn't pick one.

[bigburger]

We didn't pick one.

Evidently.

Its like the ACB deliberately choose the three dumbest cuntloads in the world to be Aussie Selectors. Atleast Norths playing.

[RoosterLad]

MJ gun.

[pickman]

Suck my dick Bopara you useless weak prick!!!

Early contender for the softest dismissal of the The Ashes 2009

[Ron]

Another great catch by a NSW gun.

NSW > Poms

[Mancey]

Great time to get back on here.

Haha, how fuckin bad does it look getting out to a cutter. :D

I'd have taken this first session if you offered it to me this arv. Good start:thumbsu:

[RoosterLad]

That was the worst innings in Ashes history.

Its a great start Mancey, pitch looks alright.

[pickman]

Good start for the Aussiesm three wickets and all the batsmen looking uncomfortable at the short stuff :thumbsu:

[Mancey]

Need the skunk out before i'll get too excited, but if they were none for lots at lunch i deffo would have been upset.

Side note. First time i've been able to watch cricket in HD. It's fail, fake SBS HD, but it still looks pretty rad

[Hugh Jorgen]

Yep, we definitely took the honours in that session.

No surprise the West Aussies featured in all 3 dismissals, a great catch by Hussey and then two brilliant bits of bowling from MJ.

[RoosterLad]

First time I'm watching cricket in HD too, on SBS but it looks pretty fucken good. Only just got the tv last night so perfectly timed for the Ashes.

[Mancey]

Side side note...i think its time for Ashes themed avatars or GTFO. Vale docker jacko

[pickman]

Side note. First time i've been able to watch cricket in HD. It's fail, fake SBS HD, but it still looks pretty rad

SBS HD is only 720p, so it's Clayton's HD but yeah still looks pretty rad.

Even though I have Foxtel, I don't have Foxtel HD so I'm watching SBS instead for the HD picture :thumbsu:

[pickman]

Side side note...i think its time for Ashes themed avatars or GTFO. Vale docker jacko

Already there ;)

I was actually going to propose the same thing!

[RoosterLad]

Yeah I don't have Foxtel HD either but haven't got my Fox hooked back up to the new tv yet, SBS looks pretty good though.

Ashes avatar now. :thumbsu:

[Hugh Jorgen]

Side side note...i think its time for Ashes themed avatars or GTFO. Vale docker jacko

Done.

Talking Boony >>>>>>>> Wacko Jacko.

[Mancey]

Siddle's all round eh.

Ok...time to search for something worthy

[Mancey]

I'll be captain grumpy.

Helmet grills are for soft cunts

[peternorth]

would someone bowl a beamer to that fuckwit south african prick!!!!

[peternorth]

Side side note...i think its time for Ashes themed avatars or GTFO. Vale docker jacko

Kim Hughes...in honour of his Centenary test knock at Lords

[peternorth]

fuck hauritz is on

[Hugh Jorgen]

fuck hauritz is on

Have we given up already?

[peternorth]

Have we given up already?

on hauritz? yes.

[Kingy]

Pietersen, what a fucking ****.

[pickman]

Fucking hell, the "expert analyst" commentator Nasser Hussain is talking about the "whiteness" of the pommies shirts...


what are they going to do, win the Ashes by blinding us of overly bright clothing? :rolleyes:

[Kingy]

To be fair, he only did it so he could hack on Botham for dressing like a poofter.

[Mancey]

PT!

God bless you Ron

Hmmm...no idea how that got above your post. I'll put it down to another Peter Taylor Miracle

[Ron]

Avatar updated to give tribute to two Aussie champions.

[Hugh Jorgen]

PT!

God bless you Ron

Hmmm...no idea how that got above your post. I'll put it down to another Peter Taylor Miracle

We could do with a Peter Taylor miracle right now.

The only way Hauritz will get a wicket here is if the batsmen fall asleep through boredom and collapse on their stumps.

[Mancey]

Fuck Macgilla is as big an epic fail as a host as he was a cricketer

[Hugh Jorgen]

Yeah don't know whose idea it was to give MacGill the hosting job, he's fucking shithouse. Would be better if Greg Matthews was hosting.

Marto has been surprisingly good so far though, thought he may have been a bit of a dud. Also thought Rodney Hogg would be involved a bit more, he just did a couple of minutes before play and then fucked off.

[Mancey]

Nah i had faith in Marto.

He may never have been much of a talker, but when he did speak it was usually relevant.

Wonder what Deano is doing

[Mancey]

How the fuck is that not out Doctrove you blind ****

[Mancey]

Fuck yeah.

Hilf>>>>>>>>Lee

Where are you you pricks...talking to myself

[Ron]

Another great catch by a NSW champ, fuck me we would be stuffed if it wasn't for NSW, three sensational catches by NSW players are keeping us in the game.

[Hugh Jorgen]

Haven't heard much of old Deano since he called that Saffer bloke a terrorist. He was a pretty shit commentator anyway. Shame SBS couldn't have got someone like Fleming or Kerry O'Keefe to host it.

Thank fuck, we finally got another wicket. The Hilf strikes again.

[Mancey]

Deano had a touch of the "I's" in his commentary

"I would have done this...."
"I remember when I..."

But he wasn't too bad. Still working in the subcontinent i think

[Hugh Jorgen]

The Pommy commentators aren't too bad but I'm already sick of them going on about how much we're missing Warne & McGrath.

FFS they retired almost 3 years ago, it's not exactly breaking news.

[Mancey]

Hahahahahahaah

KP out to Hauritz off a ball that would have been a wide. So perfect

[Hugh Jorgen]

Fuck me, Hauritz takes a wicket.

Nice of Pietersen to get himself out. Fucking terrible shot.

[Mancey]

Absolutely spastic shot.

Thought it was 20/20 or some shit

[Jather Fack]

Nice pick up there David, yes the Australians would be happy to be getting wickets.

[Mancey]

What's with that vitamin ad featuring Ricky?

"Every day i need to be healthier and more energetic..."

By the time the guy is 40 he'll have Wolverine like powers

[Jather Fack]

i bought one of them USB HDTV things today, so i can watch the crikcet and type shit here without having to strain my neck muscles.

[Hugh Jorgen]

Smart investment. It's going to be a long series, you don't want to break down with an injury early on.

[Hugh Jorgen]

Just showed a shot of the WAGS, one of them looked a bit like Erin.

Did Benny C get a call up over there?

[Jather Fack]

tomorrow nights beer night. By this time I'd reckon i'd be favourably comparing Erin to that Welsh tart with the big tits that sung the anthem that i am currently in love with.

[Mancey]

Was wondering myself who's WAG she might be. Not only tubby but a head like a slapped arse

Siddle?

[Hugh Jorgen]

Was wondering myself who's WAG she might be. Not only tubby but a head like a slapped arse

Siddle?

Yeah could be, must belong to one of the newer guys you would think. Maybe even Hauritz, Haddin or the Hilf?

You'd think you could do better than that though if you were in the Aussie team. She makes Mark Waugh's old missus look like a glamour.

[Jather Fack]

DOes Mitch think he's Harmison or something?

[peternorth]

Tell your story walking you whiney pommy ****.

[thegrach]

Peter Roebuck is at it again.

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2009/07/08/1246732407151.html

Anything dropped short was easily put away and watchful batsmen were difficult to dislodge.

Did this cunt watch a differnt 1st session to me, Bopara hit in the throat, Strauss struggling with the short ball to get out. Fucking idiot.

Could be the biggest Ponting hater in the world to.

he is a seth effricarn pom. they're all wankers (actually he only lives in seth effrica) but anyway, cases in point:

tony greig
pietersen

[thegrach]

Graeme Hick
Allan Lamb

It is a solid list.

[Kingy]

Peter Roebuck is at it again

Least he's not disciplining teenage boys by having them drop their pants and smacking their arses... again.

[thegrach]

Give him time Kingy, it is only early in the series and we have a couple of young guys going around.

[Swamp]

Peter Roebuck is at it again.

Whast a fuckwit. I can think of maybe only 2 or 3 boundaries from short balls in the first 2 sessions. The bloke is tarding like he's benny.

[Jather Fack]

I can confidently state despite having no proof whatsoever that no one listens to Peter Buttfuck (that's what I call him too) anymore ever since he proved himself to be a massive fucking cockhead a couple of years ago.

[Kingy]

He lost the bulk of his fans, I'd put money on it.

Completely misread public opinion and thought Punter & the boys were vulnerable for him to finally unleash the hatred and vendetta he had against them - but he came out of it looking like a complete fuckwit.

[KayGee]

Fairly happy with the first days play.. Siddle brought us back into the game late, when they tried to shut up shop for the day with 5 overs to go....

2nd Test Bowlers

Hilf
MJ
Siddle
Clark

PLEASE!!!!!!

[Swamp]

Yeah I agree with you boys pretty much. I used to really, really like Roebuck, read all his articles, enjoyed his insights, at one stage rated him higher then pretty much anyone else who commented on cricket. Then after the Sydney test, he threw all that out the window and went for some Robert-Walls-levels of bias and hatred toward Australia, ans it pretty much all fell apart fromt here. You can tell it is affecting his logic to a point even - re the 'short balls easily put away' comment. Maybe he just got to a certain age and packed it in mentally, preferring to fantasise about the red raw arses of over 9000 sobbing teenage boys during play and then simply make up what he wished had happened in his report. (Out on the field obviously, not with the boys. Most on that stuff would be unprintable, let alone unintelligible).

[Kingy]

So what you're saying is that Roebuck is a ****.

[Swamp]

yeah pretty much

[thegrach]

I assume you mean cunt Kingy. If so, I heartily endorse this comment/product.

[yssup_MasTr]

Clearly my avatar should be playing in this Ashes

[Kingy]

Big Siddle was fired up last night!!

Fuck I hope he comes out raging this morning and tears through these *****!

[pickman]

Big Siddle was fired up last night!!

Fuck I hope he comes out raging this morning and tears through these *****!

Same here, I'm loving Siddle more everytime I see him. He might have been the most expensive of the bowlers but I felt set the tempo early with some quality chin music and then gave us the momentum at the end.

[Maverick]

Ohhh I love seeing Pietersen get out. Arrogant ****.

[Kingy]

Same here, I'm loving Siddle more everytime I see him. He might have been the most expensive of the bowlers but I felt set the tempo early with some quality chin music and then gave us the momentum at the end.

Only thing I didn't get was why he didn't maintain the short barrage?

The pitch was meant to be flat and slow, but he was hitting a nice length and getting them to rear up against the *****... should've been more of it.

And Siddle got KP out, fucking umpire.

Speaking of KP, that lying prick is just trying to keep Hauritz in the side for the next Test.

[pickman]

Day 2 begins, hopefully we can wrap the Poms up quick.

Also, Awesome effort by everyone who has a Ashes themed avatar :thumbsu: :thumbsu:

[Kingy]

My sig pic counts, surely!

[pickman]

:(

My sig pic counts, surely!

yes it does :thumbsu:

When willwe see Huss make a return?

[pickman]

Yeah fuck off Broad you Swedish masseuse.

[Kingy]

Fuck these umpires!!

Wait... the commentators havent said anything, but I reckon he hit that?

WHY THE FUCK HAURITZ ON

[pickman]

Well fuck me, Hauritz is actually spinning the thing! :eek:

Still getting tonked though :mad:

[Ron]

There tailenders are tonking us around, we suck.

16 off this over from Hauritz.

[Kingy]

Dickhead selectors.

[Kingy]

yes it does :thumbsu:

When willwe see Huss make a return?


Just for you Picko99 :D

[Hugh Jorgen]

Fuck me, 400 already.

If they keep Hauritz on, they'll have 500 soon.

[Ron]

50 partnership for their 9th wicket, fuck fuck fuck

[Maverick]

Fuck Hauritz is shit.


We need Warnie :(

[pickman]

My tweaker barely hit the pitch but fucking hell I think i'd go for less.

Sure Jason Krejza could go for runs but at least he looked like getting wickets. Hauritz's no test match bowler :thumbsd: :mad:

[Kingy]

I don't blame Hauritz, because he's quite simply not up to it, but if he's selected for another Test, we're completely fucked.

Fucking dumb selectors!! Everybody but them wanted a 4 man pace attack; and yet their spastic fixation on playing a spinner, regardless of whether they're shit or not, is going to come back to bite us on the arse.

The worst thing is, they'll probably bring in MacDonald for Hauritz, so we're going to go from a half-arsed spinner, to a half-arsed all-rounder.

WANKERS

[pickman]

Just for you Picko99 :D

http://www.xsltblog.com/archives/The-Simpsons-Mr-Burns-Excel.jpg

[Kingy]

I'll never heap shit on Brett Lee for getting so many bottom order wickets ever again :(

Hauritz is so crap that now he's got the other bowlers under pressure.

[Ron]

FUCK ME A WICKET

They only made 8000 runs before that.

[Hugh Jorgen]

Hauritz gets another gimme wicket.

Damage has been done already though, we needed to keep them under 400.

[Maverick]

True dat Hugh. Let's hope its under 450

[Maverick]

What's the go with Monty? Has he got Curry parents, but born in ENG?

[Kingy]

Our selectors are *****.

Oh, and for fuck sakes, we've got their two shittest players, put Siddle on and tell him to bowl 6 bouncers an over!!

[pickman]

Hauritz you dumb fucking ****, a no-fucking-ball :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Hugh Jorgen]

What's the go with Monty? Has he got Curry parents, but born in ENG?

Yeah he's an England born curry muncher.

Fucking hell, now a catch off a no ball.

[Kingy]

Except he placed his foot behind the line when he planted it.

Fuck these ***** of umpires.

That's 3-4 decisions that have gone against us already - and them of them were absolutely plumb LBWs.

[Ron]

I bet if there is an LBW decision against us which is even close it'll be given.

[Kingy]

I bet if there is an LBW decision against us which is even close it'll be given.

Remember 05? Martyn got out LBW 2-3 times to absolute blatant nicks, and Haydos got one or two, as well as a couple where he was halfway down the pitch and a foot outside leg.

Piss off Hauritz.

[Kingy]

Come on Hughesy, you little fucking gun, stick it up these *****!

[SnoopDOdoubleG]

Wuurd.. Dem Aussies need the D.O. double G out der.

I'ma hit dat ball, cuz i'm pretty damn tall. Mother fucker I score a ton. nigger I get dat shit done. and fuck dat Hauritz nigger, im da next shane warne. I'll bring more fury, than some fucking hoe scorned.

Yeeeah.. That's whats goin' down ya dig.

[pickman]

Good start to the Aussies innings, Hughes looking agressive but that pitch looked like a great pitch to bat on. We need to make plenty of runs today.

[Maverick]

I'd secks Hughes

[Kingy]

How fucking much do you love little Phil Hughes?

[pickman]

How fucking much do you love little Phil Hughes?

If a man had sex with Phil Hughes, would that make them gay?

Or does the awesomeness of Phil Hughes make it totally acceptable?

[Kingy]

hughes looks in a spot of bother against flintoff

hughes has one hell of a big nose.

[SnoopDOdoubleG]

Yo dat nigger is outttttt ya dig

[pickman]

FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

Hughes is gone and I'm off to bed! :mad:

[Swamp]

Good little partnership here forming. If these boys stay in and one of them makes a ton, we'l be in front by the end of the day for sure.

[Mancey]

Both look great.

Flintoff looks the only threat. Thankfully he's got a Watson like body and they're too shit scared to bowl him much

[Mancey]

Surely Macgilla has to get the arse before test 2.

Can't even read an autocue

[Swamp]

lol yeah that was a sithouse effort

im getting my resume in to SBS before they sign benny c up for the job

[Maverick]

Haha, was thinking the same thing mance.

[Mancey]

:D

Thats a classic quote by BIGBEZ in your sig mate. What a failcunt

[Mancey]

Just watching the Hughes wicket replay....Flintoffs wicket celebrations are gayer than Lee's.

That's saying something

[PowerKat]

If a man had sex with Phil Hughes, would that make them gay?

Or does the awesomeness of Phil Hughes make it totally acceptable?

I don't have these problems to ponder :p

[Mancey]

Broad picked up an injury it looks.

Shame, he's about as dangerous as a Ben Carbonaro googly. Would like to see him bowl more

[Mancey]

HAuritz>>>>Swan

[Swamp]

Still looking solid approaching 200. For all of the talk, Englands spin twins havn't looked particularly threatening. Have the media that talked them up before the series fallen for english tabloid tripe?

[Mancey]

Swann has 34 wickets and 26 have come against the Windies...not exactly premo scalps.

Frankly he looks like a club trundler. Panasar looks far more likely to cause issues.

If i was a pom i'd be wishing i had Harmison in instead of Swann. Got them some good runs at the end i guess

[Ron]

If i was a pom i'd be wishing i was dead.

[Swamp]

Shit, I've hit a wall. Dunno whether I can make it to stumps... must dig deep .

[Hugh Jorgen]

Yeah I'm surprised the Poms didn't pick Harmison, he bowled pretty well in the warmup game. Apart from Flintoff, the rest of their attack looks pretty ordinary.

Looks like we should get a first innings lead here, providing no one plays any stupid fuckwit type shots to get themselves out like Pietersen.

[Mancey]

10 overs swamp..chance of 2 tons.

You can do it son.

#He says from his WA location where its barely past midnight#

[Jather Fack]

"God Save Your Queen"

That's why I'm in favour of a republic.

[Hugh Jorgen]

10 overs swamp..chance of 2 tons.

You can do it son.

#He says from his WA location where its barely past midnight#

We've got it pretty good in WA, play starts at 6pm and then finishes around 1am. I reckon I'd be struggling to stay up until 3am.

[Mancey]

Yeah Hugh. Apart from Fred... Anderson, Broad, Swann and co don't exactly make you feel uneasy. Like facing an attack of Paul Reiffels.

Certainly not like Jones and Hoggard hooping it around and Harmison jumping it off a length

[Jather Fack]

If you don't have to get up for work it doesn't matter what time the bloody things on.

[Mancey]

That's definitely a pro for unemployment.

A con would be having to swap Boags Draught for goon however

[Swamp]

What is this English obsession with the 'Australian obsession' and fear of the number 87? Are they that short of things to say? I mean, Ive always known about it, but it seemed like more of a cricket thing then an Aussie thing. Traditionally, we'e not afraid of anything.

[Mancey]

Doesn't seem to apply much any more, can't remember the last time we had an 87 dismissal.

Australia only had one partnership bigger than this in the whole of the 2005 series (Langer and Hayden's 185 at the Oval)

Good stat

[Hugh Jorgen]

If I was a batsman I'd be more worried about getting out for a duck than 87.

Fuck, I was just happy to get double figures when I batted.

[Ron]

KATTOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mancey]

There's one

Fuck yeah kat. 1st ton of the series goes to a west aussie

[Hugh Jorgen]

Nice hundred for the WA boy Katich, thought for a minute there he was going to get caught on 99.

[Swamp]

Katich, what a gun

[Mancey]

John Winston looked like he was jizzing in his pants there

Onya Punt

[Ron]

PUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Swamp]

I dont think id knock back a three-way between these blokes right now

[Ron]

Oi wankers, Katto is a New South Welshman, don't forget it.

[Mancey]

Pfft. The Midland Guildford old boy that will no doubt celebrate that ton with a few Exports tonight

[Hugh Jorgen]

Oi wankers, Katto is a New South Welshman, don't forget it.

Just like Gilly & Mitchell Johnson are West Aussies. Probably a fair swap.

Great finish to the day with two hundreds.

[Mancey]

Quoted from the lunch break

Andrew Miller: Harmison, Schmarmison. I'm relieved he's not playing, to be honest

Haha, fuck i hate that smug ****. Sucked in

[Jather Fack]

The Tasmanians are keeping the rest of the cuntry in it.

[peternorth]

Good little partnership here forming. If these boys stay in and one of them makes a ton, we'l be in front by the end of the day for sure.

almost! but it feels good to know that the poms are feeling like shit right now. how was that bowler (was it broad) in the press conference saying katich was plumb. wanker.


Just watching the Hughes wicket replay....Flintoffs wicket celebrations are gayer than Lee's.

That's saying something

that is a BIG call. i remember lee did the same thing, standing mid pitch arms in the air, after langer pulled off a stunning catch at short leg i think. all lee did was put the ball on the blokes legs at a full length and langer did the hard work.

Yeah Hugh. Apart from Fred... Anderson, Broad, Swann and co don't exactly make you feel uneasy. Like facing an attack of Paul Reiffels.

Certainly not like Jones and Hoggard hooping it around and Harmison jumping it off a length

dont knock pistol. gun of the highest order.
what happened to hoggard?


What is this English obsession with the 'Australian obsession' and fear of the number 87? Are they that short of things to say? I mean, Ive always known about it, but it seemed like more of a cricket thing then an Aussie thing. Traditionally, we'e not afraid of anything.

didnt they say that when we were on 187? god these poms are spastics. republic imminent.

Just like Gilly & Mitchell Johnson are West Aussies. Probably a fair swap.

Great finish to the day with two hundreds.

dont forget chris gayle. a good dockers supporter i hear.

The Tasmanians are keeping the rest of the cuntry in it.

MUNTING!!!

[PowerKat]

I'd just like to say, sucked in all you fuckwit poms who were jizzing in your pants in response to the England total

[Kingy]

I'd just like to say, sucked in all you fuckwit poms who were jizzing in your pants in response to the England total

Yea, take that you weak *****!!

PK - do you like Cricket?

Also, I love Ponting. Fuck he's a gun - the amount of shit that wankers like Roebuck heap on him, yet he keeps performing and keeps demanding his team-mates do the same.

I love him, no homo.

[Roddy Woomble]

It might have been due to me being half asleep but did Hauritz turn the ball more than both Swann and Panesar combined? :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Mancey]

that is a BIG call. i remember lee did the same thing, standing mid pitch arms in the air, after langer pulled off a stunning catch at short leg i think. all lee did was put the ball on the blokes legs at a full length and langer did the hard work.

Even being as gay as Lee isn't much of an improvement tbh

what happened to hoggard?

Hasn't done much since the last ashes. Had a few injuries i think and struggled to get back. Guns like Anderson have overtaken him apparently.

[Mancey]

It might have been due to me being half asleep but did Hauritz turn the ball more than both Swann and Panesar combined? :confused: :confused: :confused:

After we bowled them out, one of the pommie commentators said...

"Australia will be pleased to finally end englands innings. But in the back of their mind they must be concerned with the amount of turn a very ordinary off spinner like Nathan Hauritz was able to extract from this pitch. Swann and Panasar will be a hand full etc#JIZZ JIZZ JIZZ JIZZ#"

Now i'm not saying Haurtiz is any good...but geez Swann looks really innocuous

[thegrach]

Seems to be a better batsman than a bowler, not to mention a bit of a smart cunt. Fuckin cockhead complaining about having the Kat plumb, Hilf had about 3 of those.

[Mancey]

Exactly.

I like how in that article by, surprise surprise, Andrew Miller, he makes a point of saying you can't make excuses, but then goes on to quietly mention the "plumb LBW", a flat pitch and soft ball.

I'm not making excuses....but....

The Fox Sports website usually has an afternoon wrap up of the English press articles, cannot wait for this one. They turn quicker than fryingpan at a transvestite convention.

[PowerKat]

Yea, take that you weak *****!!

PK - do you like Cricket?

Also, I love Ponting. Fuck he's a gun - the amount of shit that wankers like Roebuck heap on him, yet he keeps performing and keeps demanding his team-mates do the same.

I love him, no homo.

yeah I do Kingy - not as much as footy, but yeah. I'm no great analyser of the game but enjoy it. Have been watching since I was about 13 - started with one-dayers when 1) I had no idea what an over was, what lbw meant, what a slip was and where the fuck deep backward point is, etc, and 2) it took me quite a few games to realise they changed ends at the end of each over (the changeover was always in the ads, so I never realised! LOL!!!). Appreciation and understanding built over a few years to the stage where I could tolerate test cricket, and then actually enjoy watching it/listening for quite long periods :)

SCs recent post about the ashes loss almost brought a tear to my eye tbh

Lucky prick.


Assuming I one day get married, the girl will need to understand that spending 8 hours a day on the couch (possibly hungover) is about as full and complete day of activity as you could ever wish for.

I hope KP & Collingwood we're enjoying Katich & Punter.

That's how you scored tons & get a partnership going you pommy spastics.

[yssup_MasTr]

What are Stuey Clark's chances for a spot in the 2nd Test with Brent Lee possibly making a return.

[Kingy]

Will depend on how Hauritz goes in the second innings I think.

Hope to see a lot, lot more of the short stuff in their second inngs.

[Jather Fack]

It seems that my drunken posting wasn't as bad this week as last week. I don't remember writing that last comment on here, but it certainly was on the money so good on me.

[thegrach]

The Fox Sports website usually has an afternoon wrap up of the English press articles, cannot wait for this one. They turn quicker than fryingpan at a transvestite convention.
And it begins:

Day two of the first Ashes Test saw all the English high-hope and hoopla merchants choked by the bitter taste of reality served up by Messrs Katich and Ponting.

The Sun's chief correspondent foresees England having to rely on the elements.England's bowlers flayed the Aussie attack to all corners in the morning, and Andrew Flintoff won his brief duel with Phillip Hughes, but the Australia skipper and his reborn opener then each simply put a foot on the England throat and refused to budge.

This led Steven Howard, chief sports writer at The Sun to lament England's early crow at the old enemy's "demise".

"Andrew Strauss's team trudged off the pitch in time-honoured tradition - heads on chests, shoulders slumped, and the imprint of an Aussie boot plainly visible on their backsides," Howard writes.

"Where did it all go right for Ponting and Co.?

"Well, as we should know by now, there is no such thing as a downtrodden group of confidence-shot Aussie cricketers. Just as there is no such thing as dull Brazilian footballers. Or vertically challenged American basketball players. Or a Springboks side that plays by the rules.

"No, Australia always come up with something. Especially when they arrive over here, sniff the air, and detect the unmistakable aroma of misplaced English swagger. And then listen to, and read, all the extravagant claims of the backers of the fifth-worst team in world cricket.

"There is little reason why Australia cannot take their score to 550-plus tonight - a lead of at least 120 - and leave England hoping the rain forecast for Saturday arrives on time. Not bad for a team of no hopers."

Fifth worst team in world cricket is a slight over-estimation, isn't it?

These parts are awesome.

Michael Holdings biggest contribution in the commentary box today is that our next three batsman name's all start with "M" :cool:

[pickman]

Katich gone :( :( :(

[Kingy]

Katich gone :( :( :(

Threw his wicket away, wanted to go beat Clarke up instead.

Don't we all Kingy, don't we all...

[pickman]

Looks like Hussey need some privacy of a fap in the dunny judging by that dismissal :(

[Kingy]

Whose the **** that's decided Hussey should bat at 6?

FUCKING MOVE HIM BACK TO SIX WHERE HE WAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

[pickman]

Whose the **** that's decided Hussey should bat at 6?

FUCKING MOVE HIM BACK TO SIX WHERE HE WAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

Agree with you Kingy, has done his best work in both forms of the game at 6. I've never been a subscriber to the arguement that you haven't proven yourself as a test batsmen until you've made it as a No.3 or 4.

The skills of batting at 6 are definately different but no less important. Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist were two legends of the crease who did their best work at 6 & 7 and like Tugga & Gilly, Huss bats well with the tale.

Personally I'd rather Clarke at No.4, he's more suited to that spot.

[Mancey]

I agree, but really, when you're 2/300 odd it shouldn't matter where you bat tbh

[Travyo]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU you arab fuck.

Need a partnership here.

[pickman]

I agree, but really, when you're 2/300 odd it shouldn't matter where you bat tbh

I'm thinking long term Mancey :thumbsu:

Fuck that has terrible way to go Ponting :(

After a couple of cheap wickets I think the Poms are back on top.

[Travyo]

I originally though it was Clarke who got out, and went on a mini tirade of abuse, until I realised it was Ponting.

[pickman]

I'll give that session to the Poms. Still if we don't get a good lead on the first innings it will be a fuck up.

Thanks for the reminder Magilla, I might check out Le Tour on SBS Two :thumbsu:

[Kingy]

How's the **** on the Bunnings ad with the popper collar?

What a fuckwit!

[Travyo]

The bunnings ads shit me to tears

[pickman]

Parady Bunnings ads >>>> real Bunnings ads

zg6guOvUAMw

[Travyo]

The fuck is with this massive long lunch break

[Mancey]

40min like it always is wasnt it?

North and Clarke having no issues with Swann at all

[yssup_MasTr]

Aussies just past the Poms 4 wickets down, how much of a lead would we be happy with...Haddin and Johnson still to bat.

[Maverick]

Into the lead mother fuckers.

Awww yeahhhh

[yssup_MasTr]

Prior the shit keeper has missed the past 2 from Collingwood who is bowling 120km off spinners 8 byes can be added to the scorecard.

[Mancey]

126.1
Collingwood to North, no run, guided off the open face to the man patrolling a sort of short third man-cum-deep gully position


Back in 5

[Travyo]

Swann is shit, lunch felt like an hour <_<

[Mancey]

I won't be happy unless we get at least 600, but we basically just bat as long as we can really i reckon.

If there's rain about only having to bat once would be a bonus, and you don't want to chase much on this pitch batting last. Easier to get the runs now so a declaration is no chance

[Maverick]

600? Gee Mance, way to have low standards.

I'm expecting MJ to come in and smash a triple ton. Possbly even eclipsing Haydos' 380.

[Mancey]

Haha, wtf kind of appeal is that. They were convinced and it wouldnt have hit a second set of sticks

"At least" the vital words there meh. Hope for much more

[Mancey]

The sour, "fuck this shit" look on Strauss's face as the umpires called tea has made my night:D

[yssup_MasTr]

50 to the great West Aussie Marcus North apprently being a weak link in this team.

I cant see England getting a wicket with this attack and were off for tea

Trav lunch did feel like it went forever

Watching Flintoff chase the ball is funny

120 odd runs that session without the loss of a wicket

The Aussies to have a lead of 150 odd by Stumps

MacGill is 100x better at hosting then last night, at least he's putting two words together tonight

[Swamp]

Blacks can't read though :confused:

I lold hard at this, then felt bad for a second, then lold again

...two legends of the crease who did their best work at 6 & 7 and like Tugga ...

The older twin did his best work at no. 5.

Personally I'd rather Clarke at No.4, he's more suited to that spot.

Agree, mostly based on the fact that it is where he will end up inevitably anyway, so why not give him a head start in adaptiing to the position, while easing the pressure off a still out-of-sorts Huss by dropping him back to 6.

[yssup_MasTr]

HERE WE GO ITS STARTING TO FUCKING RAIN NOW APPRENTLY THE WETEST GROUND IN THE U.K FUCKING POMS ONLY RAIN CAN SAVE THEM FROM EMBARRASSMENT

[Roddy Woomble]

FUCKING WALES

[Maverick]

Fucking rain :mad:

[yssup_MasTr]

wtf is with the covers in england their like massive tents?:confused:

[yssup_MasTr]

1100mm rainfall annually
next test venue is Manchester with 800mm p.y

the poms planned this

[Hugh Jorgen]

Fucking typical, first chance I've had to watch the cricket tonight and it fucking rains.

Great partnership from the West Aussie North & that other bloke. Should be looking at a big first innings lead here.

Just hope the rain doesn't fuck things up for us. Heard the forecast isn't great for tomorrow either.

[Mancey]

Covers are off apparently

[Maverick]

Apparently play will resume in 8 minutes

[Swamp]

sweet, just enough time for me to fap thrice

[Maverick]

The c*nts lied.. A little box popped up on the screen saying play will resume at 2:05 (QLD time).. Now they're showing pics of the covers going back on

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :mad:

[Hugh Jorgen]

Fuck how bad is this. Not only is there no cricket but it means we have to put up with more of MacGill trying to ad lib and failing badly.

[dmc333]

fuck off Clarke, you little shit.

Sorry, but I have to rejoice when that cunt gets out.

[peternorth]

fuck off Clarke, you little shit.

Sorry, but I have to rejoice when that cunt gets out.

once again he makes a score when there's no pressure

[RoosterLad]

Clarke is a fucken gun. What do you mean no pressure? If he got out cheap we would have been in deep shite.

[Kingy]

Aussies just past the Poms 4 wickets down, how much of a lead would we be happy with...Haddin and Johnson still to bat.

Reckon this game will be washed out - so I'd just bat and bat and bat; don't worry about scoring so much; just try and bat for another day or so, just completely demoralise the poms.

PN; Pup was under a bit of pressure mate; came in after we lost 3 for not many, so needed to steady the ship, and did it pretty well.

Little concerned about his recent habit of getting out in the 20-30 minutes before a break.

[Mancey]

Yeah if it's going to rain we might as well bat for as long as possible. Hopefully they bowl Flintoff into the ground and fuck him for the series

[RoosterLad]

Bat for as long as possible, set England a 'target'.. if they pass Aussies may bat again, fail to get it we win.

Hauritz to do a Warne a la Adelaide on the 5th day?

[Travyo]

Does anyone else lol when they see Greg blewitt? every time I see him I can't help but think of him leaving balls on 99 and getting bowled.

[Travyo]

I'm watching foxtel coverage because I can't stand macgill, hated the fucko when he was playing, hate him more off the field lol

[BuzzKillington]

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT SOME CRICKET!!

for about 20 minutes probably

[Travyo]

Is Broad seriously one of the best england has to offer? this shit is funny lol

[BuzzKillington]

they made strauss their captain..


lol.

[BuzzKillington]

and what the fuck is going on with this over rate? the useless ***** have decided that the only way to save crushing embarrassment is by taking 17 minutes per over til it inevitably rains?

[Travyo]

So the Atherton look to the sky method is back?

[Swamp]

Slower then a gobby of a lipless hooker right now

[Kingy]

and what the fuck is going on with this over rate? the useless ***** have decided that the only way to save crushing embarrassment is by taking 17 minutes per over til it inevitably rains?

Haven't they seriously increased the penalties for a slow over rate recently?

[pickman]

Haven't they seriously increased the penalties for a slow over rate recently?

I believe so but most of the referee's are too soft to implement it.

[Maverick]

Reckon they'll declare at 600?

[pickman]

Nah, grind them into the turf I say :thumbsu:

Wonder what Mo thinks :D

[Maverick]

Well in Northy

[pickman]

onya Marcus North you fucking legend :thumbsu:

[Hugh Jorgen]

Northy, great hundred from the West Aussie.:thumbsu:

Should look at getting a lead of around 250 I reckon and then send them back in. Hopefully the rain holds off.

[Kingy]

Thank fuck a lot of our ancestors were convicts; I'd be fucking embarrassed to live in a country with a bunch of pathetic ***** like that for our Cricket Team.

[Maverick]

4 centurions in the one innings would be a tad lovely

[Kingy]

4 centurions in the one innings would be a tad lovely

4 British Bowlers have already got their tons up ;)

The Pommy ***** are trying to screw the over rate; but our man RAD Haddin is currently carving up - in the 90s.

[Maverick]

4 British Bowlers have already got their tons up ;)

Haha. Seeing England fail is so much fun

[pickman]

Haha. Seeing England fail is so much fun

England and Freo both failing epically on the same night. A good winter's night to stay in I say :thumbsu:

[RoosterLad]

Bad Haddin brings up his ton. :thumbsu:
