Don't need to worry about that, most of these fairies comfortably thrashed NZ.
We're not NZ levels of shitness just yet.

All it takes is an overcast summer here and these jokes will turn to water and won't make more than 200

Tickets for boxing day sorted. Hopefully we don't disgrace ourselves or I won't leave the bull ring.

You mean you actually watch the cricket Boxing Day? Think I saw about an over last year

 

[Magma]

make sure to be there before noon or you might miss it.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Roses are red,
The Adelaide ball will be pink,
If it swings like it did last year...
This test will be over by drinks!

 

[WealstoneRaider]

So you got battered by the Afrikaans did you? Roll on the ashes, should be retaining them quite easily

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ha haha ha. 14 months until regain you mean.

Our mediocrity is temporary, England's is permanent!

 

[WealstoneRaider]

You've been s**t since about 2011

 

[Art Vandelay_]

You've been s**t since the First Boer War

 

[WealstoneRaider]

You're the last proud sporting Australian left on the board Dr G. Just accept your days of sporting prowess are behind you. England's dominance of the ashes over the last decade demonstrates this

Dominance? There's been one away series win since 05.

As for 05 no McGrath for our two losses and it took lozenges to beat us.
We don't always win the Ashes.... but when we do we whitewash

Five series wins for England in the last seven according to wiki. Fair play the two series you won were whitewashes. The last of those was pretty much a tour where everything that could possibly go wrong, did. I think the next ashes will be more like 2011 when we won in Australia 3-1 and all three tests we won were by an innings.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Poms wilt in the Australian sun. 15-0

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We have 12 months to fix our batting. Do that and I'm confident of regaining the ashes. Only Broad poses a threat.

Delusion.

We've got a great bowling attack, even on your s**t baked roads

 

[Magma]

where are they being imported from these days?

Your spinner is average. As shown last time.
You need a good spinner to do well here. Haven't had one since Swann downed tools mid Ashes.

Anderson relies on swing... the ball doesn't swing here long. 2 of 3 previous series here he's bowled rubbish.

Broad has seam movement and height. Hence why he's an ever present threat here.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

You'll see when we come down. My reckoning is your batting won't make 400 in any first innings. We have to sort out an opening partner for Cook but that's about it. You've got to sort out your opening six

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Englands batting is just as weak as ours

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Cook is easy to get out. Push it across him and full. Snicks it to the slips every time.

 

[jd2010]

12 months to fix our batting surely isn't enough. We've been absolutely no lubed in these battling collapses. Will take 12 months just to recover from the mental scars or a complete overhaul of the side is needed

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Rod Marsh resigned effective immediately

 

[Magma]

means * all honestly when you have clowns like sutherland coming out and pretending that there is nothing wrong.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Well he is one of the clowns whos picking the test side

 

[Magma]

Well he is one of the clowns whos picking the test side

as long as there are still clowns around the sideshow can't be over.
