The Ashes
 

221 - 7

Pieterson has his century!

47 overs left.

COME ON ENGLAND!

Warne is a legend but WOOOOO England look set for the draw now.

*Warne & McGrath

Ian Bell doesn't deserve to be part of the celebrations :nono: Geraint Jones hasn't been much better.

But whatever :love:

Not long to go now. :D

The urn is England's! (and Wales' ;) )

Can you hear the Aussies sing?
I can't hear a fucking thing.

Rolf Harris, Kylie Minogue, Bob Hawke, Dame Edna Everidge, Paul Hogan, your boys took a hell of a beatin'

:D

Cricket seems a little more interesting when the games are close.

Gotta love how you only made a thread when England had it won.

Who would of thought! And fuck that bitch looks like a pig.

lol sorry next time I'll quit work and post earlier for you :(

Seriously though the best series I've ever watched. Admittedly I'm not a big cricket fan but this was great to watch. All credit to the Australians too they still are a great side and yeah Warne and McGrath probably two of the best bowlers ever. And Warne showed he could bat too :D. And in defeat they have been great. And Brett Lee is just Mr Smiley.

LOVE ALL ROUND REALLY

Gotta love the day when the Aussies came back out after bad light with sunglasses. That's one of the most admirable things about cricket the pursuit of fair play and the good humour involved. I know it's not all roses but it's a breath of fresh air when compared with football.

I've never seen so many people go ape-shit over a draw in my whole life.

Congratulations England, you just retained The Ashes for the 17th year in a row, only this time you guys actually won the series.

As for Warnie, the more women that he sleeps with, the better he gets. Here's hoping that a few more hundred sluts come out & say that they've fucked him, so then by the next Ashes series he will have about 800 wickets! :D

& yeah, LOL at you guys waiting until the series was over until gloating about it (and not even in a proper fashion - 1 thread in the sports forum is shithouse when you should have the whole casual forum covered in these threads).

Anyways, I've seen the most dominating team since the Invincibles play test cricket for the past 11 years as well as 2 World Cups, so I'm not too fussed if the Poms win 1 series as now we have a benchmark of 17 years to break, the next time that we play youse in '06/07.

Too right, Y2C.

& in all honesty, get fucked "that was the greatest test series ever". The West Indies tour of 94/95 was the greatest test series that I have ever seen in my life.

With the series tied 1-1 going into the last test (and the winner being declared the best side in the world), Steve Waugh came out on their own turf & belted 200 runs in probably the most courageous innings in the history of the game, to win the test match, the series, the Frank-Worrell trophy, & become officially the best side in the world and start the dominating run which they did.

Wow noone said that but OK.

Way to throw a tirade at noone who even insulted Australia and generally were complimentary though :y:

I must've missed the multiple threads you made.

Nice prediction. Do you take betting lessons from McGrath or something.

Learn how to gloat about a good win. :mad: :mad:

& MMM, McGrath was never involved in any betting - that was Warne & Mark Waugh. :wtf: :wtf:

Does my face looked bovvered?

Next you'll be telling us that the Rugby League World Cup is far more important than the Ashes.

The Ashes, the Rugby World Cup - are there any sports the Aussies are any good at?

lol :p To be honest I'm not really a cricket fan so it doesn't mean that much to me. It's really the only cricket I've even slightly followed barring the 99 WC (which I also thought was entertaing btw) :P But just for you...


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN YOUR FACE YOU SHRIMP ON THE "BARBIE" LOVING CRIMINAL

:D Happy?

I think he's just refering to McGrath's 5-0 prediction.

Also those boobies pointing in different directions makes me queasy :(

Oh, meh wasn't listening to him as he tends to be fairly boring whenever he says anything.

The Ashes isn't a sport - it's a trophy between 2 countries, you nounce.

The last time I checked Australia were still no. 1 in the world.

The whole Parade stuff is such bullshit though. Way OTT. All that happened was that they beat Australia. Hardly splitting the atom.

You can bet your arse that none of those 'new cricket fans' will be there next April when the next summer series starts.

Still makes up for having had to endure the likes of Ronnie Irani and all those other carthorses who have played for England over the years.

But number 1 at what? Whinging? bar-tending? pretending not to care after being duffed-up by a punch of pommie-pie-throwers?

I don't understand the parade at all, after all it's only between two sides. It keeps the Londerners happy I guess.

It doesn't make me happy. It means that the bus will take twice as long to get across town and there will be a great number of twats and tourists getting in my way.

I hope that it rains and all those new glory-boy fans get struck by lightening.

Ach well just be happy that we've finally got a decent cricket team and for once Australia aren't invincible and then before we know it nobody will give a shit about cricket anymore, just like rugby.

Cricket

lol, come on Y2C it has been already proven that Autralia can't play cricket, pull the other one son.

The England side have been alright for a while, I don't think they have lost a series for a couple of years. I was impressed when I saw the Eng/SA series in SA earlier this year, as they totally dominated them.

Oh yes - I'm sure that as a Sunderland fan that you know that years of failure make success all the more sweet and enjoyable.

Cricket didn't exist before this series :roll:

1 series means fuck all. We played shithouse for most of the series & people are saying that it's one of the greatest series of modern time.

Sorry, my mistake. :o

Success?

I don't know it :'(

I bet you are happy that Bristol City spent a load of money in the summer but still get beat 8-1 of teams.

Could it be that you played shit because your players are old and shit?

I am very happy to see Shitty get duffed up on a regular basis.

They are Bristol's equivilent of Newcastle.

Yeah thats what I think in both cases. People comparing this to the 66 WC will only draw :wtf: from me. There was a survey at the end of the Ashes and theres still only a tiny percentage of people who can identify even 3 people in the England team. Names I'm talking about not even faces. 10/24 couldn't even name one. In terms of popularity football it is not.

And yeah on the second count. I have been drawn into this series but wouldn't watch another one probably. Might check it out but probs won't be so interested. It'll be even harder for cricket as they move to Sky.

WOOOO Newcastle. Beating you down Mackem - infinite times more points :cool: :shifty:

Would be more if Michael Owen could kick a ball instead of letting it go through his legs :lol:

I'm just jealous of your points total :(

Yeah you're right I'd rather have Jonathon Stead than Owen :(

:roll: :roll: :roll:

They have both scored the same amount of goals this season :'(

It annoys me that any genuine achievement gets hyped out of all proportions so it actually loses its meaning. They won a series - but is it really deserving of a parade?

It's the media hype at the end of the day isn't it? It's been plastered all over the news and the papers and the coverage has been so intense that it's been made into something that it's not. What happens if they win the next Ashes series, are they going to have a parade then? Or if they lose? Is the whole of London going to throw rottern food at the team? It's ridiculous really.

Once they start to lose again then people will stop supporting the team - and you can bet your arse that Kelly Holmes et al won't be seen dead at the Oval.

That said I would far rather that Andrew Flintoff be a hero to kids than that overpaid junkie Rio Ferdinand.

:( ....You Smell

That is probably the best thing a pom has ever said.

Outclassed, outthought, outbattled. What a truly deserved victory from the better side.

Don't bring rugby into this. The only reason you poms don't give a shit about it anymore is because your team was decent for 1 season and now they have gone back to being shit.

Feb 03 - Upton Park - 3-1. You gave the game to the world and we made your overpaid and overrated "stars" look very, very average at it.

Seriously though the Poms played well, they deserved to win the series. I guess after so long at the top we had to have a downer and lose one at some point, pity it had to be the Ashes. Ah well, only 18 months till we get it back.

The atmosphere at the 5th test (and really all the tests) was great. The English putting up umbrellas and the Aussies taking their tops off in response. The players coming out in sunglasses due to the "brightness".

Where's England go next? Tour of the subcontinent?

Right now that doesn't really make you unique

Not 100% but I think it's West Indies

-edit- Just checked and you're right, starting Pakistan in late October.

I was at the parade yeterday in trafalgar square,the parade was not over the top though-moonax. We haven't won it for a long time, it was more relief than anything.But I don't expect too many people on this forum to understand the feeling.And how do you know none of those 'new cricket fans' will be around?Sure some wont, but I think some of them will.But maybe you cna predict the future or something, yeah that's it....

It's amazing that it would have taken the Poms about 130 minutes to invent the game and about 130 years to get any good at it.

Actually Y2C, we've always been good at it, it's just the county game has always been poorly organized and has affected the chances of the international team. The central contracts(I think thats what they're called) have definately helped the fitness of our players, if it werent for them we would've given up after the Lords defeat.

Stop rising to the bait, jeez.

AHAHAHAHAHA GO THE POMS!

GO BACK TO GREECE!

Nah I'd rather just stay here and rape Australia of all their resources. :rofl:

We were known as "The Lucky Country" but then all of the wogs & asians arrived. :foc: :foc:

The only thing I understand in this thread are the titties in post #9.

Who the fuck was here pre the wogs and Gooks? Pom prisoners and a bunch of boongs? :rofl:

They were considered lucky coz they were on the other side of the world to the Greeks.

If you don't like Greeks don't fucking steal our words then. :roll:

We live in a democracy, I can say whatever the fuck I want about cunts. Oh shit, sorry, I just used another Greek word in English again, my bad. :o

Cunt comes from the Middle English word cunte.

Stop stealing things like you steal dole money from the hard working Aussie taxpayers. :foc: :foc:

ahahaha this cunt...or cunte, if you will. :roll:

I have a job and you know perfectly well that I do. After all, we worked at the same place :lol:

Busking for money outside my work doesn't classify as a job. :roll: :roll:

ahahahahahahha the cunt's too embarrassed to admit he worked at the same place as a

dirty fucking wog*

piece of shit*

hahaha Australia beat the best team from the rest of the world 2-0 by a combined total of 150 runs in 2 matches.

I bet that Moonax won't come back here until the next time that Australia loses a series. :lol: :lol:

ahahahaha although you're a cunt, I have to give you that one.

Moonax only sings when he's winning - which isn't very often. :D

He doesn't even sing when he's winning, he's only singing when Australia loses. :D



(Communist bastards don't play cricket)

Bahaha how shit are the rest of the world's best XI.

The Ashes was a mirage. We played shit and England fucked us up with reverse swing very very well.

17 months till redemption.

ahahahaha typical Straya :o

Sounds familiar

:lol:

Can you hear the fat communist sing?
Nooooooooooooooooo. Noooooooooooooooo.
Can you hear the fat communist sing?
I CAN'T HEAR A FUCKING THING!

Memories. :D:D:D:D:D
