Not long till the Ashes

Tried to watch that game but the association with our PM was too distressing.
I'd object to being picked by him for anything.

At least Hawk had a go, even if he kept getting hit on the head and needing new glasses:D :D :D

With Little Johny almost every ball would be called a bouncer?:D :D :D

Had to happen, first Pom is already off to be counselled.

Correction - I was wrong, it happened pre tour........

Nasty comment put him over the edge? Thought they would be able to handle being called stupid???? Really.

Still not in the spirit of the game and I don't approve of racial taunts. Fair enough to have a go a bad fielding etc.


Wonder if they will stop us calling the umpy a white maggot at the footy? (Even if he's orange?)

It was long believed that the real Ashes – a small urn thought to contain the ashes of a bail used in the third match (1882) – were presented to Bligh by a group of Melbourne women. In 1998, Lord Darnley’s 82-year-old daughter-in-law said they were the remains of her mother-in-law’s veil, not a bail. Other evidence suggests a ball. The certain origin of the Ashes, therefore, is the subject of some dispute.

Bring it on :D

I cant wait till the cricket starts.... I have told my wife when I get my shed up the small tele is coming out there with me so I can keep an eye on the tests while playing in my new domain....:cool:
she reckons she will never see me again, perhaps she is right? well at least until the season is over and whenever I get hungry.... ;)

Another causualty, Telescopicis off home to Mum, dunno if it's in tears like he did from India? Stress too much apparently?

It's getting closer.........

Monty Panesar's useless,
A poor old English chap,
And when he's not spin bowling,
No fan will ever clap.
He's useless in the covers,
He's useless in the slips,
And when he straps the pads on,
He'll pass out with the yips.
