Swanny shooting his Pommie mouth off again!
by PeterCS Tue 29 Jun 2010, 21:13
Arrogant, complacent Pommie bastard - he's claiming to be the best in the world and forecasting 5-0 in the Ashes now!
Here's how he put it - note especially the places I have bolded:
While Swann joked that England should be the No.1 team in the world now, having beaten the side ranked the best in ODIs, he brushed off suggestions that a clean sweep could give England an edge for the Ashes. Each team has two Test series to play before the battle for the urn, by which time Swann believes this result will be long forgotten.
"It is a completely different game," Swann said. "When you look in our changing room there are only three, four or five players involved in the Test team. For us to win this series is great but once November 20 comes round it wouldn't matter if it this is 5-0 to us or 5-0 to Australia, no one would give a monkey's. That first ball at Brisbane it is a whole new ball game."
;o)

A pointed reference to rejecting Harmless's selection, no doubt!

Nice reading between the lines there, Pierre. So, he actually means the opposite of what he says? Verbal legerdemain indeed.

The first balls of recent Ashes series in Australia have often been eventful and sometimes set the tone for the summer with Harmison's wildly errant opener and Slater smashing the first ball for four after the Aussies had been sent in coming to mind.

In England as well, the first ball has often been a spectacular event, like in 2005 when Harmison's decentish good length ball outside off stump, and Langer's comfortable leave, certainly set the tone for the way that series went.....
