32nd Match - England v Australia

[cnerd123]

My GGG Grandfather sailed from Eng to Aus in 1858 as a 16 year old ( so not a convict) and my Mums Grandfather knocked up some english lass in Eng during WW1, so my Grandfather was born in England....I think this means it's not racist if I hang **** on the English this game *****?

yea i don't really care just start the mudflinging already

 

[Neil Young]

I think its a bit different... All 4 of my grandparents have British background - bit different to race based banter which I don't participate in. We have essentially the same culture so mocking over the very minor differences(bad weather, tea and crumpets, dickhead cricketers) is far less venomous than ***** is making it seem

And I'm aware we possess the dickhead cricketers

I think your cricketers are better than they were. I like Steve Smith a lot. Great cricketer, good guy. Starc the same.

The first bit, I probably disagree with a little through personal experience. But I get the point you're making and think my truth lies somewhere in between your guy's.

 

[Burgey]

Same thing, different dress. Not better, by any means.

This game should be a cracker. Though I look at that Aus team and see so many flaws that I can't see them winning the crunch games. But, who knows.

I know what you mean. The England juggernaut has truly stirred - shipping 350 and losing to a Pakistan line up which doesn’t know what end of the bat to hold, then failing to chase 220 odd against the might of the current Sri Lanka outfit. Can see why you’d be properly confident in them getting it done.

 

[Spikey]

did you know that england suck

 

[Spikey]

and did you know that marcus stoinis is the most valuable player in the world

Yeah, I'm confident England will win on Tuesday, whatever the previous results. And I'm also hoping for Aus in the semis as well. I think all 3 teams are better than NZ, but I think Aus is comfortably the weakest of them.

I'm pleased to see having the widest neck has a monetary value.

 

[mr_mister]

Mr. Mister implying all Australians and British are white. ITSTL. So it has begun.

I've read the room. Be very surprised if burgey, jedi, Howe, Fred et all aren't white.

 

[Victor Ian]

Australians aren't white. We are bronzed because sun.

 

[Isura]

England to win, but Australia will thump them in the semifinal.

 

[BeeGee]

10 points isn't enough for a semi berth, so this is an important game for Aus.

 

[cnerd123]

Going off the ***** Ideal Scenario - Who To Support Cheat Sheet, I'll be rooting for England this game after all.

 

[Burgey]

I wonder neutrals will support in this one, particularly blokes like ***** who have a thousand other sides they support head of these two.

Factor in some washouts imo

Personalty I'll be rooting for Aus. Possibly for the first time in my life. Just because an England loss keeps that 4th semi spot still up for grabs and keeps things interesting.

Wonder no more Burgey Murgey, for the answers can be found in the ***** Ideal Scenario - Who To Support Cheat Sheet.

All neutrals should be supporting England in this game, as that result will help lead towards the most desirable outcome of neither England or Australia qualifying for the Semi Finals.

Factor in some washouts imo

Yea I'll have to update and re-calculate things when the weather inevitably plays spoilsport again.

But that's not the most desirable outcome. The most desirable outcome is India and Australia not making the finals for neutrals. Because both have experience winning cups and are going to make life a lot harder for your Bangladesh/ Pakistan cup fantasies.

If India don't make the KO stage then the 2023 WC won't even have finals.

 

[Athlai]

Hope Australia win purely for the English media fallout

 

[stephen]

And the only difference between India and England not making it in your two scenarios is that England have to beat India.
