*Official* Second Test at Lords

I'm sick of 2005. I wish the commentators would just admit that 06/07 happened where we got well and truly mullered like Newcastle on a bad day.

Love Hilf wish I stood by him a little more when some people had written him off.
Seriously, there really were people who wrote him off - completely - as a Test bowler based on that single series?

If so, why would you be so keen to argue against them?

Yeah, might as well. Teh give your missus my number.

Hoping for more of the same here.

Pretty sure one of Uppercut's 'the commentators will use 2005 analogies' situations was if we went off like a rocket in the first innings, have they mentioned 05 in reference to our run rate yet?
Haha, only very briefly. The 2005-love hasn't been as widespread as I predicted, although that's partly because they're busy bumming it during the lunch-breaks.

Ponting should be tearing these ****s new arseholes at lunch. That was ****ing disgraceful from an Australian attack. When in Rome and all that, but that performance was English in nature.

Cook scoring runs ffs. Makes me think I could be a test player - you can make runs dangling the bat outside off for a living. ****ing dire.

Saw the 100 partnership and they touched gloves. More time-wasting!

There, hope that helps the forum ****ing atmosphere.

****ing **** ****** of ******* **** **** so ***** off ***** cucumber sandwiches **** ****ing Australians

As well as your women being more toned and you also invented Tim Cahill. Thank you kindly.
You're stock is rising, love the Cahill.

Australia looking about as threatening as Monty Panesar on the rugby field, deadset, dig in a little bit.

What do you mean mate, are you saying that you think I've always rated the Hilf.

I'm pretty sure somewhere I've said that Hilfenhaus will take 150 or 200 Test Wickets before he'd played a Test.

One could say the same about England's Adelaide collapse and so many things besides... Australians aren't genetically superior to Brits.
Look mate, I copped an elbow in the eye at sparring tonight, there was blood everywhere, I'll likely have a shiner and I've got the world's second biggest headache. I won't say who, or what is the biggest.

But like Alistair Cook I can't let this pass.

It's not genetics that determines our superiority. Rather, your ****ty climate, poor diet, diabolical personal hygeine habits and crap dentistry to name but a few factors, settle the argument in our favour.

Here, have a ****ing mint.

Think I praised him for the first time before you even joined CW TBH. I've always thought he had potential to be excellent, and I completely ignored anyone who I saw writing him off based on that one poor series in SA.

As to whether you've always rated him I don't know, but I hope so. If you've changed your mind constantly, saying he's crap one minute and excellent the next, I'd be disappointed.

Aha, more imagined inferiorities. I'll take our varied climate over your sun, sun and more ****ing boiling hot sunburning sun every time, where even in winter you can't get a decent cold snap, and I'll also be quite happy with our dentists and dieticians myself and all.
