[Guest]

Yeah but England born and raised

(pentire @ Jul. 13 2009,02:28) and we'll have Aussie on the back foot at Lords.....Just you wait and see

Are you betting on it?

[Guest]

I would do if the books were being slightly more generous however, an England win at 5/2 is precious little value at the moment.
Australia are 6/4 to win the Lords Test.

how the f**k did we get out of that england were piss poor for for the last 4 days drop monty get harmison in the top 5 batters have to improve or we have no chance at lords where we have not beaten the sheep shagging convicts since the 30s keep the faith

  Rule Brittania    

God save the Queen  

Come on KP, no more Silly Shots please 

P.S. I loved Ricky Ponting's "restraint" looking face being interviewed afterwards, whilst being clearly absolutely " gutted " by the Draw he gave "praise" to England with "gritted teeth" for our fightback

"Fair Play" to you Ricky

[bickers]

Are the Ashes being telecast on Thai Cable TV? Any bars in Pattaya showing the games?

[Drift Spunk]

England would have to be the most gutless cricket team in the world. They dont play for the win but instead hope for a draw at best, their tactics in the last session of test one proves this fact like so many times in the past.

As quoted by pointing " there would have been a bit of celebrating and jumping up and down in the England room, I'm sure"

I'm just hoping that there spirts are crushed by a merciles Aussie team again and
require psychologists like they did as well as for there fans in the 07 test...

If this doesn't happen then I can hope I'm not quoted and then flamed at a future date!

Bickers- I'm sure most of the uk and Aussie type bars will be showing it, I will keen to watch a bit while I'm in Los for the nex few weeks

[Stogie]

Australia are looking pretty pathetic. They can't make a win of a monster innings in the first test and they are dropping like flies in the second test. They'll be lucky to avoid a follow on! That's a bit embarrassing!

Still, the Aussies have something to cheer about... at least England aren't wasting any time!

[f0xxee]

Ah, Stogie, my nationality challenged friend,

England aren't wasting anytime because its Saturday, and that's bath night!

God love the english appreciation of the simple things in life... like sharing bath water.

Enjoy the tub! God bless you my forebears, and try to remember why they put the rope on the soap. (We dont want sis smuggling it out.)
