Well they think it is all over...........and it is now.

FAB :thumbs:. At last..... the first win in Australia for 24 years. Fingers crossed we can continue it through for the rest of the year and beyond.

Yep, Aussies well and truely thrashed. Don't think I watched an Ashes series where (excepting Perth and the odd session in the first test) a side has dominated not just every session but entire days and 5 day tests. There is usually an ebb and flow over a test from session to session or day to day.

Anyone remember the Aussie press with their "10 reasons why England will badly loose this Ashes"? :hahaha::hahaha: Oh how stupid they feel now.
I love cricket and I've been in heaven this last couple of months.:beer::beer:

OK I will bite...we were shit...your side is not that great but as I said we are shit.

Our selction policy needs a total review and we need to turf out all the pricks and rebuild from the ground up....because we were so successful for so long with Gilchrist, Ponting, Hayden, Warne, McGrath, Healey, and so on we have created this youth void so we either have only old now useless guys or young inexperienced guys and no one in the middle.

Small consolation we are leading 1 day series 2 nill....yes I know it doesn't count!

Yep, you're right, it doesn't count :hahaha:

OK I will bite...we were shit...your side were truly glorious. You seem to have a deep, young talent pool currently and I can see the English dominating World cricket for a few years now but like the Murphys, I'm not bitter....

Our side is not great! :hahaha:

Did you not see the batting?

Did you not see the ball making all shapes on the flatest pitches in history? Very sweet after saying English bowlers can't bowl with the Aussie ball.:hahaha:

Did you not see the amazing strength in depth from the bowling attack?

Did you not see the numerous stunning catches?

Did you not see the mostly awesome fielding?

Still have to do all that consistantly over 5 tests. Oh, wait a minute? We did!

[edylcreyob]

Neither your side or our our side can hold a candle to our respective better sides of the last 30 years...simple as that.

Oh yeay 3 nill now in the 1 day series.

Did your TV play up when you were more shit than we were in Perth???

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

[AlexGTT]

:hahaha: I love Aussie baiting. No offence Edylcreyob, just been quite a long time since we've been able to do it.:thumbs:
