I can't believe I ate the whole thing

Yeah. But you're still not being graceful.
Disgrace, IMO.

Why be graceful? It's no fun.NZTailender said:Yeah. But you're still not being graceful.

The only thing you're doing at the moment is making yourself look like a bit of a tool, because unlike you said a minute ago, most English fans (those that actually knew what they were talking about, anyway) didn't think we had much of a prayer in this series, and many have actually been predicting 5-0. Gloating doesn't really work when the opposition can reply with "see, told you, we're terrible."Scmods said:Why be graceful? It's no fun.
I agree with everything you say until here. The English basically created the game, and have been playing competively with Australia for well over 100 years. Your analogy is a little off the mark IMO.Barney Rubble said:Gloating over us like you're doing is akin to gloating over beating Bangladesh.
Yeah, you're probably right. I did delete the last bit once and then put it back in again for effect. I guess the majority of gloating occurs because of the rivalry - you guys don't gloat over beating India or the West Indies or whoever, after all.dontcloseyoureyes said:I agree with everything you say until here.

Dude, what are you doing? According to your profile you only joined in March 2006 - so you weren't even active here in 2005 to get bagged "from pillar to post"...Scmods said:Bitter? Why would I be bitter? We were beaten by a better team at the time, our injuries didn't help but they out stratagised us and outplayed us. I did however predict before the series that we'd win easily. When England won I got bagged from pillar to post, I'm merely repaying the favour, both here and on other forums and to my Pommy mates. I'm not bitter at all![]()
Good post Scmods.Scmods said:He's in denial. Soon he'll run off and watch footage of the 2005 Ashes and the 1981 Ashes. Where are the MBEs now? The knighthoods? The parades?

And you're the rightful owners are you? Strange, my avatar seems to disagree... Last time I checked 3-0 meant we were the owners, both of the Ashes and of the England cricket team.
