3rd Ashes Test: Australia v England - Dec 13-17 - WACA

[Nostradumbass]

Need to rework the old Baddiel and Skinner with the Lightning Seeds song.
It's coming home,
It's coming home, it's coming,
Ashes coming home.

There's a blast from the past. Euro 96

That's Ol' Uncle Arthur talk to 'rest' Harris for Sydney purely because of his workload. Should only be rested if his body shows symptoms of an injury...

It already has. He went into this Test under a cloud due to a knee injury.

How about rewriting Come out ya Black and Tans with something like


Tell them how Mitchie J made ya run like hell away from the green and lovely fields of the Gabbaaaa

 

[Maddhew]

Can't think of a player who hasn't played a part at some stage

Rogers and Bailey haven't ton-ed up, but still played some nice little innings

Just watching the Inside Cricket replay, reckon the boys have had a Mark Robinson lunch.

Or another reinvention of another beautiful song.....

Go on home you British cricketers go on home

Seeing how the Fleet Street tabloids and media react to the loss of the Ashes, just a couple of months after being victorious 3-0, will make interesting reading.

Their main targets will no doubt be England captain Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, and Matt Prior.

England coach Andy Flower will cop some harsh treatment from the English media covering the tour too.

Congrats to Oz. Time to consol one's self with tea and chocolate. Mmmm, chocolate. ..

Anyone watching Inside Cricket? I reckon Rhino has had a few...

I'm sure someone can work out something to "Bound for Botany Bay"

Farewell to old England for ever,

It would be pointless England naming an unchanged lineup for Melbourne after 3 catastrophes in a row. A head needs to roll, and unless Bairstow is a truly awful keeper he probably should take Prior's spot.

 

[The_Reaper]

Jos Buttler is also in Australia at the moment

 

[BACCS]

Unless I heard wrong, Rhino was asked a question about Lyon, and then started talking about Johnson... surely I heard wrong?

He's plastered.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Geez, he's been terrific Ryano, he reckon's it's 3 bowlers who are mates, backing each other up with the ball.

......and he's probably a dozen stubbies in.

 

[BACCS]

Haha, this is classic, he's struggling to not slur his words at times...

the actual journalists will be fine, critiquing the performance and offering solutions but being fairly reasonable, the past players who have columns will probably be a bit more outrageous and the editors will give them all a bad name.

 

[BACCS]

He's plastered.

Haha, I think he actually started talking about Lyon, and then his answer turned to about Johnson...

 

[BACCS]

Geez, he's been terrific Ryano, he reckon's it's 3 bolwers who are mates, backing each other up with the ball.

......and he's probably a dozen stubbies in.

I think that's how he pronounced 'bowlers' as well...

 

[BG32]

Haha, this is classic, he's struggling to not slur his words at times...

he most likely went head2head with boof in a drinking comp and came of second
Best

 

[BG32]

Over the three tests:

AUSTRALIA – 45/2152

ENGLAND – 60/1403


Wow!!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That's how I'm spelling it.

Great day for Australian cricket today, we didn't do it through the old production line, selectors really had to put together a squad, that was both capable, and could play together.

Lets face it, who would have said Haddin, Smith & Johnson would play pivotal roles in winning back the Ashes?????

....and they've been the big moment guys.

 

[Kyptastic]

Gotta love Test Cricket. Win the Ashes in three tests and then get Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander against Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara tomorrow in South Africa. Great stuff.

 

[Jascave]

So when England and Australia next meet for the Ashes in England, who do you reckon will be there for 1) England and 2) Australia?

While Michael Clarke will captain the Ashes holders, who will be Clarke's opposite number to try and regain the urn?

Geoff Lawson commented he thinks this is the best seam bowling group we've had since Lillee, Thompson & Walker.

High praise indeed, and probably not far off the mark.
