Mate, if "Eat faeces Poms." is the sort of contribution you want to encourage around here I do appologise. It's not that I took it personally, more that it was a brain dead comment made by a brain dead poster and I called it.....simple as.

I infracted it, don't you worry. But the point with troll posts is that they're meant to be responded to, so you shouldn't give the troll the satisfaction and rise to the bait.
And, as always, there's a difference between calling out a **** post and going on a flame.

NFI mate.....I'd just hope it was more involved than "England....we're ****ing great"!!
Don't get me wrong though....I'm not trashing your song be any means.....just wasn't what I thought it would be.

Even though you can't spell it I'll accept it anyway. Only because I pity you today.
Anyone else agree Cook is the worst captain ever?

Ok fair call......but I wasn't "taking it personally" and I've been chastised for far worse on here.
But anyway, from what I've seen the posting here tonight/day has been excellent so I'm certainly not gonna let one troll post ruin the atmosphere.
I can almost guarantee you have a few tea drinkers playing for you. Be quite odd for out of 11 Anglosphere adults not one of them drinks tea. Shane Watson looks like the type to drink camomile.
Also the internationally accepted code of drinking chants is that they go on slightly to long, until it becomes awkward like 'everywhere we go', rather than being strangely short.
Gotta feel sorry for England; as has already been mentioned, this means that the Ashes won by England mere months earlier will now be effectively meaningless. They should have probably made it a 10 match series. Anyway, not complaning in the least with the result-being half Indian and half Australian I've grown up hating England in cricket right from a very young age so this doesn't exactly make me sad 
Commiserations England and played Australia! More than the margins of the victories, what is damning is the number of times Aus declared and the number of wickets they had when they did. There are many theories floating around as to why England lost. I think more than anything else it is the fact that England's grind, grind and grind strategy doesn't work against a top class bowling attack. It is not a surprise that it took the two best attacks going around to topple a formidable English side (SA being the other). From a viewing perspective, this has been the most one sided Ashes series since 06-07...I'd probably say test series as well (India in Australia 10-11) is probably close. Hope we don't rest players and all that. Knowing Lehmann and Australia in general, I doubt they will. The test tally reads 10-10 since the Ashes in 05, we have to be ruthless and make it 10-12.

This has been more one-sided than 06-7, surely? England put up a good show for four days at Adelaide, and India @ the MCG in 2010 was a really close match until about midway through that 4th day (so basically the whole thing).Gotta feel sorry for England; as has already been mentioned, this means that the Ashes won by England mere months earlier will now be effectively meaningless.

Can't remember seeing a big-ticket series like this, with the possible exception of India in England 2010.
