Watch your mouth, convict. I happen to be an Aussie. An Aussie who would rather watch paint dry than watch cricket.

This thread needs Flaps.

-brits
-pakistanis

(ok ozzies do try to shower it off but prison smell doesnt wash off)

The look on this old man's face is clearly one of disappointment spawned by one massive failure in life after another.

just because you have a certificate that says you were born in australia, or are an australian citizen doesnt mean you are an "aussie".

"aussies" love cricket and footy, the beach, beer, and sticking it up the yanks, poms and kiwis.

if any of these things are missing, you are not an aussie.

for the record the cricket isnt a big achievement..i mean, defeating a country thats a fraction of your size in a game that you invented and hadnt been done in 20 years is, well, underachievement.

the australian cricket team chosen is shit. you were lucky that the selectors are stuck in the 1950s and didnt pick players that could actually play.

fairs fair though, the poms played well...but when you've got 2/3-3/4 of your side that are from south africa, its a VERY hollow victory.

we all laughed our heads off watching the south africans singing "god save the queen"

now, south africa- another country a fraction of the size of england (population)- and you cant beat them either!..unless you field a team of migrants...lol

thanks for letting me put it into perspective.

are you on drugs?
for a start, "crickett" has only one "t".

so if it isnt the drugs, maybe its that you just aint that bright..

I am sure that there is a guy (1918 Mr. Canada) riding around some schools in a white van looking from some chubby kids to "take pictures of". And when he is not doing that he designing purple machine for his gym.


thanks goodness for Australia, home of Lee Priest and Basille..two old drama queens

[phyxsius]

the ashes trophy is the smallest trophy you can ever find in the world sports..

although it might have some history in it but still looked ridiculous..

Hollow victory my arse mate...so Trott and Pietersen are saffers, the rest are pretty bloody english to me. Strauss grew up in england his whole life, so don't try to count him.

At least you admit we gave you a beatdown, so ill spare you there...I'll put it into perspective for you, the margins you lads lost by AT HOME have not been seen for 80 years and in one case nearly 100 years, the gulf in class right now is enormous, and thats not down to two south africans alone.

btw I would remind you that your rugby team doesnt seem to mind poaching Islanders left right and centre, nor Clive Rathbone (a saffer)....and Andrew Symonds was also english, and even played for our under 21 side...so did you get lots of delight when he was jumping up and down at the MCG four years ago when he scored a 150, or did you sit there and say, 'no mate hollow 150 it doesnt count cos he's not a full blown aussie'??

bollocks to your point, of course you did. You loved pounding our backsides into the dust time and again, regardless of who made up your team. We are the same, it's the ashes and your pitiful attempt to wipe the stain of shame doesnt sit with me. As for population size...how much sunshine do you get to play cricket, and how much do we get?....point proven I think.

HAHAHAH nice plastic trophy... must be worth of all the effort 

[the_steevo_uk]

HAHAHAH nice plastic trophy... must be worth of all the effort 

Its a tiny wooden urn bro! It contains the ashes of a wooden bail that was burnt 130 years ago, hence the name the ashes...its more about bragging rights than the trophy. Plus having something the size of the Stanley cup doesnt really fit well with cricket's image.

I was in Manchester when England won the Ashes, and the tv/on-the-street coverage was still going when I came back from the pubs, like, 8 hours later. Crazy.

Yeah they love their cricket up there...lancashire and yorkshire are the real heartlands of the game.
