***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

[chalky]

Can someone explain to Tony Grieg that Day/Night matches are played with a white ball. Every time he opens his mouth he makes himself look like an idiot I can't wait until he ****es off back to Australia.

 

[Kweek]

erm....whats with that appeal :S

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

It's funny watching Clarke bowl now and remembering him absolutely ripping them in Mumbai and turning them a foot.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'm afraid not. But I bet those exercise programs that involve physical activity must really confuse you.

Dear me, exercise programs involving physical activity? Who'd have guessed?

Which are the ones that don't involve physical activity?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

You must be joking.

 

[Kweek]

and off we go again

I'm waiting for him to come on and say each run England score counts double.

 

[Jamee999]

Off again!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well at least they're being consistent.

That'll teach Warne to confuse our batters with his wristy-witchcraft!

I was actually alluding the fact you don't seem to be the most physically active person, but whatever...

Warne's obviously not allowed to turn the ball.

Well I'm disappointed. I stayed up late tonight (earlyish start at uni tomorrow) in the hope of seeing some good cricket, but no. With two spinners on I think they should really have stayed on.

Yeah. He got one to bounce bat-handle height too, quite nasty stuff that, you could top edge it into your face and leave a red mark.

No.& Quite right too. Ashley Giles has made a career as a spinner & not once has he made a ball deviate in over 50 tests!

 

[Jono]

Maybe Australia should stop bowling Warne

Yea, in the same way it seems bright at The Oval.

 

[luckyeddie]

LE, pretty poor form shown by you, looking at these personal attacks,stick to the argument

That was not a personal attack (or it wasn't intended to be), and as his own retort demonstrated, I don't think he took it as such.

 

[Robertinho]

What if he tries to sweep and it whizzes past his helmet! I dread to think..

If you're starting a petition, I'll sign it!!!!

I'm trying to have a sense of humour about this, really, but it's pretty frustrating. It's been such a wonderful series up until this point too, and it's sad to be deprived of another excellent finish.
