*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[GotSpin]

What a disappointing series. By the end I just wanted it to finish. If there's not some sort of fall out at the top I'll stop watching Australian cricket

Time this crappy subforum was archived, surely.

Timmy Nielsen in the paper this morning:

"There were some defiining moments in this series, and we were on the wrong side of them".

If you call, the 2nd, 4th and 5th Tests "moments", then yeah.

This guy just speaks rubbish, a total muppet.

 

[GotSpin]

Why this guy has a job amazes me

 

[vcs]

Spot on mate. Really hoping we can sneak home late day five here and square the series.

The guy played FC cricket for QLD.

Yep 7 games, hence the 'almost'

Australia is now in under pressure because of Australia lose the Ashes series in last 24 years. England beat Australia in fourth Test at Melbourne and regain the series. The 5th Test played in Sydney, Australia must win the that game to draw the series.

A lot of respect for this, really putting the effort in. Had a look at his other posts, his information on tied tests is solid

 

[Jayzamann]

Beautiful irony if the publicity over the monkier 'Teflon Tim' is the catalyst for his head rolling.

I'd enjoy that.

only a matter of time before spambots start discussing the cricket with us and we don't even realise it and we buy nike products on their advice .


in fact, it might already be happening

I think it's rather humorous that English posters who were having a go at Australian posters for posting links to articles from the Sun and other various rubbish are now posting links to Daily Telegraph articles.

Hypnotoad leads me to be suspicious of you

Well done England, fantastic victory! Hard luck to the Australian fans, they deserved better from their team.

 

[Zinzan]

Superb cricket from England ! Well done & congrats to all the fans Have to confess, they were probably my least favorite side 18-24 mths ago, but have really grown on me with the way they play their cricket as a complete team. They don't seem to have any obvious weaknesses (especially now Collingwood - who struggled- has stepped aside), which can't be said for any other test side atm.

Selectors did very good job: Hilditch | Fox Sports



hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[TumTum]

Awta Hilditch. Beer was a very good selection I feel, especially for the future.

 

[Spark]

Anyone get the feeling that howardj thinks Australia played **** this series?

What gives you that idea?

So angry with him and Neilsen. Even after we've been humiliated, they still refuse to admit fault. What garbage.

 

[Johnners]

Well played England, comprehensively outplayed.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Michael Clarke retiring from T20 cricket will surely make Australia much more successful at Test level.

Really worked for Ponting, yeah.

(& yes, I know your intent was ironic)

I almost forgot!

I saved this article for this moment.

10 reasons Poms WON'T win | The Daily Telegraph

Enjoy!

Easy to be wise after the event, but man, that article just asks for it, doesn't it?

Although one's aware this is one man's opinion and the his TA is probs LCD.

I think this illustrates pretty well the problem some freakish players in any sport have being coaches. Warne had that much talent, he could just turn up and do it. I mean, though it's only a TV show, check out those Cricket Show sessions he did live to air, straight from the comm box and didn't bowl a rank ball in any of them.

He's headstrong too, and combine that with ridiculous talent, and I think you get the "well I never needed much coaching and using computers.." stuff. Well, no you didn't. But the mere mortals do.

Quite so. Beefy often poo-poos fielding drills and practice generally because he could turn up after a night on the claret and cigars and be amazing still. Makes it hard for the truly blessed to comprehend the effort required for the mortal elite sportsman.
