No surprises really, obviously the request for a sixth test was turned down by the ECB...

A sixth test? That's insane

That's a lot of cricket in six weeks.

What confuses me is why someone should bother to type in the teams' names.

Have you not heard of copy and paste?

Yeah, was talking about the clown who typed it for you to cut and paste.

I don't think that the CA marketing goons are renown for their high intellects. I mean, they named the domestic 20/20 comp the "Big Bash".

For sure ... why that's necessary is somewhat confusing ... surely they could string it out over the entire 2 months ...
it's not like England have a boat to catch for the 45 day passage home, is it!

Agree with Bazza ... 6 tests borders on the insane.

I wonder if we can find a Pidg, Warnie and Gilly in the next 12 months? [sigh]

No worries Skully it'll still be 2-0, 3-1

Meh, that's what they were saying (in Aus's favour) prior to Ashes 09. Look how that turned out.

There's a rather defining thread lurking around that supports your thoughts skull .. see if I can dig it out.

What?? I click on your link and get:

"Sorry, you can only edit your own posts".

WTF??

I think it could be another Hawaii. No way the Poms are gonna be able to handle that schedule.

Screwed that up.

Yup, Pete Siddle & Nathan Hauritz are gonna trash us big time.

And Lee will be fit.

God, that will be the ultimate humiliation for Drunky. England defending on Aus soil.

If that happens and Farkin Hilditch is still the head of the NSP, you could well see the first case of a subi-like house burning as a result of a sporting outcome.

I've arranged for Lee to get swine flu if that dickhead hilditch even thinks about selecting him.

Turn it up Skully, 9-1 the last 2 series down there.... we need to start competing at your place before we can dream of retaining t'urn

Surely you don't see your sig in 15 months reading...

2-1, 0-5, 2-1, 0-5... rather symmetrical, ay?

0-2,1-3 perhaps...

So JKL, which is more enjoyable for the English cricket supporter? A predictable thrashing, ala Ashes 85 or an unexpected victory such as Ashes 05 or 09?
