England vs Australia: war has begun
 

Good luck Aussies but I hope England find it in them somehow to stomp you :)

5-0 will be final score

C'mon Australia... :winkwink:

yeah that strong scottish cricket movement

Weather is hot here today and the Poms have been out of form, not looking good for the visitors so far.

Go the Aussies!!!!!

P.S Australia has won the toss and Batting.

so far Aus is scoring 6 runs per overs kicking ass

Time to send the poms home with their tail between their legs.

77 for 0 Aus off to a good start

0/78 ATM and looking good! :thumbsup

OOOOOO Mat you disappoint me :(

aussie aussie aussie

Yup time to get those Ashes back home where they belong for the next 16years, after our little "slip up" last time. :)

-N

Oh ah, Glenn McGrath.

;-)

time zones suck sometimes

very true :(

what are you guys watching?

cricket..

Ponting is simply incredible.

I hope the Poms bought lubricant with them... I have a feeling they may need it after seeing todays performance by the Aussies.

I wish I was back home in the land of Oz. Australia will win 4-1 :thumbsup

England have choked pretty badly on the first day :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Wait till Warney gets out there to deliver his flipper ruh roh :1orglaugh

i'm for England...

F***ing Scots!!!!

You must be happy with your team's result the other night!

England looked bad so far, no drive, hunger or control. A good night's kip, stay off the vegemite and they'll be back with a vengeance! :thumbsup

C'mon England!

Tell me about it, Pietersen got decent turn so imagine when the track is a couple of days older what Warney will be doing!!!!! Does not bode well for the three lions!

You have to go in with hope or there is no point.

Naturally, but after the last year of the English and their incessant gloating, it's time we took a dump right on top of their team :thumbsup

I've got a good feeling about this...

What a shitty start :(

australia all the way... for whatever you are playing

had every right to gloat but the truth is that English people (and British too) really aren't happy without something to complain about so it is a perfect start for the average Englishman.

you have that location in your profile and don't know what we are talking about?

The Poms are fucked. Whinging poms will lose 5-0.

Is it on ESPN?

No idea because I am in the UK. Does espn ever show cricket?

cricket is like the most boring sport in the universe
BUT GO THE AUSSIES

Looks like a one sided affair so far, lets hope flintoff or kevin come up with some inspiring performances. I love to see the underdog win :)

wtf is giles doin in the team when we have a guy who can actually turn the ball in the squad

Go England Go England Go England

Sarah recant your statement :1orglaugh aussies will kick your ass....Australia over 3-300 the first day Ricky Pointing 137 no

unless the weather gets below 30 poms cant handle the weather lol

Come on England I will be watching it all on Friday night

I said hope.....

lol - I suppose they did have reason to gloat, but I was over it when down at the local beach and overheard 2 poms talking.

Pom 1 - 'this sand, it just gets everywhere'
Pom 2 - 'well what do you expect from a country that can't play cricket'

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I always thought it was good the English won the last series. It does get boring if it's never competitive, and plus it's kind of funny to see the English win something, they get so excited because it's such a rare occurrence.

I know...let's leave our best spin bowler out and instead have one of the 'old guard' in whos not quite recovered from injury and has no confidence. After all he's white and 'one of the lads'. :(
</ sarcasm>

Don't suppose the Aussies fancy lending us a couple of bowlers?

See, you think they don't know it and that will hurt. Listen to any sports chat radio show and they never deny that Aussies kick their ass in just about any sport. They enjoy having that huge hurdle to overcome.

for all you know i could be in the falkland islands. it just so happens that i am in the british isles, but luckily not england.

so i dont have a clue what cricket is or what your talking about, but i'm guessing its a cricket world cup final against australia by the way your going on about it.

I am sure most British people - not just English - have heard of 'The Ashes'. Sort of hard to miss it being mentioned on tv, radio, papers, etc.

When I first moved here it was baffling but a decade on I pretty much get it.

maybe on ENGLISH tv, radio, papers etc its mentioned all the time, luckily i dont have to watch, listen, read etc that crap.

how much do you know about shinty? its all over the tv, radio, papers etc here, so if your in the uk it must be the same for you, right?

lol, coming from that proud cricketing nation, scotland, muahahahaahahahahahahahaha:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I was just trying to have some friendly banter with you. Relax, it might do some good. I wasn't being mean with my initial comment but just taking the tone in which the thread was started and being surprised that anyone has manged to escape it. There is a Scottish person in this thread that knew what I was talking about. Chill.

40 minutes to start of play today
