A message for the Aussies

[tiernan1338]

Essentially Australia have been by far the best cricket team in the world for a number of years and take great delight in rubbing our noses in this fact. But England now have one of there best teams in years and have a great chance of beating the Aussies in a series of matches known as "The Ashes Tests".

Gday,

If my patriots ever got wind of what I'm about to say, I deny EVERYTHING. Yes, we aussies have gotten somewhat arrogant over the last few years. Well, frankly, we had justification - Gilchrist, Waugh, Lee. Need I go on? However, arogance does breed sloppiness. Don't you worry, we'll be back on our game before you know it.

When was the last time England actually won the ashes. I say that they be stored permanently in Australia, until a date where the English demonstrate they deserve them back.

The only other time I've heard of the ashes was in the Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy series.

A fine game where you can sit all day drinking beer (in the sun hopefully!!).

You need a game to be able to do that?

what gets me the last ashes test. Which i watched all the way through. I seem to remember Australia trashing England by more runs on my fingers (that make sense?)

Oh yeah and what are you english people can't catch. You always seem to drop the most easy catches

My $2 worth

We'll be getting those Ashes back this summer!!! (Hey we have to enjoy thrashing you by 100 runs in the Twenty20 as long as possible while it lasts ) Could be a great Test series this summer. I have my ticket for Lords. I can't wait!
(ps. How many people have no idea what I'm going on about. My estimate...nearly everyone )

Not gonna happen. The team that Australia has as of today can beat any team hands down.

Yes, we aussies have gotten somewhat arrogant over the last few years. Well, frankly, we had justification - Gilchrist, Waugh, Lee. Need I go on?

Yes you did.

Can anybody tell that after India, Australia is my next favorite team?

The last time I remember England having a good team was when Michael Atherton was Captain. They've just gone down since then.

I guess "a bat is a bat, even if it's flat". Dang Gatorade commercials.....

what kind of batting

It's not our fault that the notion of an ideal and exciting Saturday night in Grand Forks in the summer consists of a six pack and a bug zapper!

I wonder... does Denmark even have a cricket team? I'd love to see that...

The only sport I watched when I was in Oz was rugby I feel so deprived...
