Cricket

So half the team in one go I sort of agree but I wonder who on earth can come into replace them, we don't seem to have a dearth of talent pushing to break through at the moment.

Lehmann has done a stellar job, met him a few years back in India and he was a really nice guy. Best team has certainly own but they've been utter cunts with it. No class at all.

Got to stick with Stokes now get Ballance in the team along with Bairstow and Finn.

[Shaggy]

There's a few, although they might not be up to it there's only one way to find out. People like Ballance, Lees, Overton could all get a try. Foster or Bairstow with the gloves, and build the team around Cook, Root, Bell, Stokes, Broad, Finn. I'd even be tempted to drop KP temporarily just to see how he reacts. I'm starting to wonder if he gives a **** tbh.

Serious questions need asking of the selectors. Serious questions need asking of the players. I'd take them to ayres rock and leave the cunts there. See if they can make the long walk back between them, may harvest some much needed team spirit. Those that don't make it, so long.

Shot selection is woeful. Having a medium pace attack on these pitches is woeful. Keeping your wicket at all costs is a must.

I also know the reasons this series was played so close to the last one, but I think the decision was poor. Who cares about the world cup? Bloody one day crap.

Well done convicts, you've got your mojo back. You're cocky, aggressive, unsporting and winning at a canter. Its like the old days.

Cant see many making it. Hell of a walk with absolutely nothing in sight for thousands of kilometres.

[Harv]

This series has been a disaster but had reminded me why I dislike the Aussies in sport so much, the most ungracious winners in sport.

and you lot were gracious???? **** off. Youve been rubbing it in how **** we were the past 4-5 years every chance you all got. This is why the world hates the English. You're so ****ing smug its incredible. You're the worst losers there are. As soon as anyone beats you all the classic lines about "oh that so and so is so unsporting, he celebrated that wicket far too emphatically, whatever happened to the days where we just all shook hands and had a cup of tea at the end of the day, its just not cricket"

We are creaming you

You're creaming us yup, no problem with that but the bollocks you lot come out with and the way you smugly go on about it is cringeworthy.

I'm not going to bother replying to the rubbish about everyone hating the English, I think you're statement on that says it all.

How are we smugly going about it? Nothing smug to it. You lot were smug. We;re just aggressive. We've got you on the ropes and are pounding the **** out of you. We've taken the aggression level up to 11 and you lot cant handle it. Is that unsporting? No more unsporting than purposefully slowing the play down and having mothers meetings after every ****ing ball. You lot need to **** off with that ****, its doing you no favours and winning you no friends. Even the English lads here are yelling get the **** on with it!

Its not rubbish at all. Im talking in sporting circles not general society BTW. Everyone absolutely loves giving to the English. You're not well liked.....it could have something to do with ruling half the world for centuries

No idea about cricket but

[ChesterDave]

so many points to argue but I think I will resist taking the bait

[PTP]

Haha Harv is like a pig in ****...cunt...

Anyway HArv, this ashes doesn't mean anything anyway..lits been devalued being so soon after the summer....so you can have this one.

[Vermilion]

Both sides are as ungracious as each other, we celebrated like **** when England were winning, and the Aussies were moaning about this or that 'not being cricket', now it's Englands turn to moan and it's Australias turn to celebrate, pretty much how most sport is nowadays.

Why it upsets people i have no idea, it's heat of the moment stuff is all, and noone is punching anyone.

[Shaggy]

I've no real qualms with them. The odd isolated incident has been out of order - Clarke etc. But overall no complaints. The targeting of Broad for not walking however has been absolutely laughable and incredibly hypocritical. Overall, though, no problem.
