Phil VII Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I'm sure the Aussies and the English will know what i'm on about, for the rest of you, the Ashes is a yearly series of Cricket Test matches between England and Australia, of which there is much rivalry over, the Australians have won it for the last 18 years, but england have a very good team this year, and many people think we have a good chance. and as i'm writing this, the aussies are only on 73-4 in their first innings! (which considering that scores of 400-10 are not uncommon is not a great score!) what chances do any other englanders think we have against the aussies this year (and who else finds those channel 4 ads involving WG Grace really annoying...)

Tagmatium Rules Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think those ads are as funny as fook. Especially the one where he smashes the Austrailan bloke's pint. Link to comment

Ide Jima Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think those ads are as funny as fook. Especially the one where he smashes the Austrailan bloke's pint. And the one where he kills the hippy... Link to comment
Phil VII Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 hmm, i havnt seen that one Tag, but i will gove you, the killing of a hippy is always a moment t celebrate 83-4 now Link to comment
Phil VII Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 87-5 EDIT: 178-8 only the last 3 batsmen left now... Link to comment
Niederoestereich Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Looks like your english bowlers gave our lads a bit of a bruising with the ball. England's not going back to Bodyline again are they. Yes, Australia scored badly, but i think we will have the last laugh, as we usually do Link to comment
Amnalos Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Is there anything Glenn McGrath cannot do? Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 we will have the last laugh, as we usually do Like what happened in the rugby world cup Link to comment

Niederoestereich Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 All depends on how well the pommies bowl. Pfft, we weren't even expected to be in the world cup final, but at least we beat the All Blacks. Not many sides get past them Link to comment
Amnalos Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Aussies win 1st test by 240 odd runs. Link to comment

The Chosen Nations Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 IS WG Grace the "old" guy with the really long, grey, beard, if so I LOVE THOSE ADVERTS. anyway i think england stand a very good chanse this year if they win at Old Trafford.

Phil VII Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 oh, the edgebaston game was a great game of cricket, to win by 2 runs! ow! and this game at Old Trafford is looking pretty good so far too, although i dont want to speak too soon. England are on 390-6 atm Link to comment
