The most classic photo is of nick batting with one hand, beer in the other, and a ciggy in his mouth... I wanna see the australian team make an effort like that, and play cricket the aussie way

the starting XI for the first one day game

Michael Vaughan
Az
Ian (me)
Nasser Hussain (someone has to be captain)
Andrew Flintoff
Ian Blackwell
LukeT (Project T)
Steve Harmison
Az's Grampa
My Nana
My pet Dog

should get more runs than the usual team

Nick Knight Vs Australia!!

Bit harsh, suppose Blackwell looked promising, but where else are our runs gonna come from.

We've let ourselves down in the tests, now the one dayers As fans we don't expect to win Aussie people! We expect to see our team put up a good performance against the best team in cricket. Our only bats are KNIGHT, VAUGHAN and TRESCOSTHICK who hasn't had the best of tours, but is still statisticly one of our best. Our bowling I won't even go there, UTTER SHITE!!!! Theere is no way wee will beat you Aussies this tour, and we will struggle against Sri Lanka, even tho they have a shit record out of the Sub Continent.

Anyway, it's a bit shit what happened to Warnie, think he should be fit for the World Cup tho, he just can't seem to shrug off those injuries over the past couple of years. Miny you Staurt Macgill isn't a bad part time raplacement

Hhahahahhahahaha... all class

Boonie sunk some insane number of tinnies in 24 hours once...somethin glike 52 or 54... my god, he's a big boy

I was thinkin about this, the whole world (apart from Australia) should create a team with the best players from each country, train together for 6 months then come and take the aussies on... imagine if we won? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH, YESSSSSSSSS WE ARE INVINCIBLE!!

lol is there a harlem globetrotters cricket team?
maybe they could beat us

hehe
yeah i posted in the post whore thread what i thought of the game on sunday, although i cant comment on the aus innings since i wasnt there.
but yeah knight did well, blackwell too.
but we left before the end and i didnt check the final scores hehe

i cant believe that they killed your cricket pitch for housing, we pretty much have a astro turf wicket every few kilometeres in the suburbs, and some schools (stupid private schools ) even have turf wickets....

no wonder you guys suck ass,
most of us have probably played a season or two of cricket when we were kids, england is just stupid i spose, bad luck dude

Well as a matter of fact, they can hit sixes with the handle of the bat and they bring a whole new term to the "googly" When they field, everybodies in the slips, although they choose not to call it the slips, and instead the Sledging Caulden. They bat somethin reminicsant to Hybrid Junkies buddy. Bat in one hand, beer in the other and a ciggie in the mouth

Precisely, as each place gets bigger here (my town has gone from 40'000 ppl to 70'000 in the last 10 years) we lose things like that

We have a pitch on the park in summer but its usually messed up by beerboys & ppl riding motorbikes over it, so we maybe get one or two games max in a half decent pitch, main reason why i wanna move to Aus, cos it really pisses me off here the lack of respect for sports, its all about £££

lol
they bowl around the back and through the legs
and when someone takes a catch, they juggle it around to each other and roll it down their arms etc hehe

batting, they can pull off arsey shots all day a la ryan campbell in aus a vs sri lanka
that was fucking brilliant
how would you feel getting belted with shots like that...


ian: do u at least have nets or something near ovals where you could have a bowl at least?
i thought there would be stacks of cricket grounds and lots of local clubs in the counties or whatever.

He's right, it's like that all over Engalnd! people have no respect for sport apart from Football (or Soccer as u know it). If you started playing cricket down your local park or oval, you would probaly get laughed and get beatan up in the process. It just seems like a nothing sport hear to the average person, unless a member of your family has played it, therefore you will have played it from a young age, or rich dads who want there sons to play a VERY respectable sport in the wealthy world just to say to their stuck up friends that there son plays for the local cricket team

The attitude is all wrong in this country and we will get worse before we get better. For an example of this i remember one you Aussies started a thread regarding the start of the Ashes series in the UK FORUM, remember the response??? SO FUCK!, I HATE CRICKET, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT CRICKET, CRICKET IS FOR ASSHOLES AND SO ON, need i say more!!! That's no disrespect to any of the UKTA's as it's fair enough of they don't like cricket, i'm just trying to emphasise a point to Aussies

Excuses
