Will Australia ever again win the Ashes without cheating?

[GIMH]

Let’s take a quick look

2019: drawn series
2017-18: ball tampering
2015: ENGLAND WIN
2013-14: Mitchell Johnson suddenly becomes good. Drugs testing inconclusive, possible robot. Improbable improvement in comparison with prior ineptitude. To be disregarded
2013: Comfortable England win without getting out of third gear
2010-11: Demolition despite Captain Chimp attempting to cheat
2009: ENGLAND WIN
2006-07: Australia win but with a drugs cheat in their ranks
2005: ENGLAND WIN
2002-03: Australia win but with a drugs cheat in their ranks for the first three Tests
2001: Drugs cheat appears but prior to convictions. Possibly legitimate
1998-99: Drugs cheat only appears at the end. Fair win.

Fair.

Eh, everyone's been on PEDs for 25 years.

Warney thought those were viagra pills. It was a one big misunderstanding.

Just to be on the safe side let’s say 33 years and whoever held the Ashes then gets it and we start again.

Off the top of my head I don’t know who that would be so I’ll go work it out now

All of this over burnt paper

Also 09 shouldn't count after Andy Strauss decided to play one hand and one bounce. Plus Monty pissed on a bouncer

The first point is under consideration but we won that test by 912 runs so overruled. The second incident unfortunately occurred much later so while we sympathise, it can’t be submitted as evidence

Most of the best fantasy authors are English - Tolkien, Lewis and English cricketing journalists. It's hard to argue with fantasy because it's made up ****.

Is it any wonder your lot lost so badly in 2006/07 given the lack of Murray Mints for sale in Australia? I think not.

How many decades has it been since your lot won a test over here?

I hope whatever the issues are with quarantine gets sorted. A full strength England, with Ben Stokes, against Australia in Australia would be a good contest, IMO. As a neutral fan and without considering any financial impacts, purely from a cricket perspective, I feel it will be a better contest if it was postponed to next year and England are able to tour with a full strength squad.


Sorry about the serious reply btw. Really wanna see Archer, Stokes in an England side against Australia in Australia.

England always call us the crims, but who has a man who should currently be in a 4x4 cell in there ranks????? The 2019 ashes would have rightfully been ours had the england judicial system not been perverted to allow a violent criminal out.

You and Burgey have done this argument to death. Time to give it a break.

@honestbharani if you wanna see a side with Stokes and Archer you'd be better off delaying the series.

 

[Victor Ian]

Stokes should have been shipped out here and made to play for Australia.
