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

![]() 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 ![]() 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! ![]() & 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. |

& 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. |

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? |

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? |

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. |

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

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.
