Road to the 2017-18 Ashes in Australia

[S.Kennedy]

I think most Englishmen believe Oz will win making it a bit hard to enter Jingo mode and sledge away. The best I have involves Renshaw shitting his trews at the first sight of a Finn bouncer. Not very realistic - I know. It is more likely Finn will fall over the stumps and roll along the wicket like an inebriated ape on roller skates.

unusually pessimistic from you

Indeed. 0/10 Glenn McGrath's for mine.

 

[Adders]

Correct.

Hard to get up for flaming the Aussies round here these days. I don’t know who most of the posters supporting the crims are. There’s you and your usual drivel. And then Stephen makes strange posts about how James Anderson wouldn’t make his local grade side. And he’s one of the better ones. Feels like the quality of Aussie troll has really declined in step with the cricketers over the past decade.

4-0 England is my tip

****ing hell, if that's the case we may as well close the doors now.

Do you mind not swearing?

Has the English cookbook been leaked this time round? Need some pretentious breakfast ideas.

 

[Gnske]

I think we all know what the English are going to be eating in this series

 

[Adders]

I don't.........what?

 

[cnerd123]

top rate banter guys really riveting stuff

 

[Burgey]

Finn and Ali both apparently have an injury. Finn hit on his knee in the nets and Mooen a side strain.

 

[Spark]

Not exactly looking like it's shaping up to be a classic, is it?

 

[Burgey]

It’ll be better when the series starts and the likes of HB and ***** aren’t allowed to post in the sub-forum.

Mason Crane must be shitting himself right now. Can't believe they may throw the kid into the deep end like this.

Heard it’s gonna rain for days at Melbourne

Ayn Corrin back on deck. Good to see

 

[Woodster]

It was always going to be the case if Moeen picked up a niggle that we would look short of spin options due to the presumed reluctance of throwing Crane in there for his debut as the sole spinner, especially in the opening Test.

Jack Leach must be checking his phone every couple of minutes waiting for the call. Really hope, and not just for his spin bowling, that Moeen's scan is more precaution than anything else, always worry when a bowler has side issues.

you're going to be begging me to post

look at how I single handedly sold the forum on the HK T20 Blitz and have raised the presence of Bangladesh and HK cricket in general around here.

I'm a taste maker, trend setter, one of a kind influencer

You're gonna wish I cared about this series.

There's really no need to be dirty, what's wrong with saying he'll be anxious?

Nah, you’re just like a mosquito. Persistent and annoying, whilst occasionally spreading insidious disease.

The fact that you have no one else to banter with speaks volumes about how meaningless and un anticipated this series is

 

[Burgey]

We have a sub forum for this series to keep the riff raff out. That’s why you can’t post once it starts.
