Clearly technique is not the problem.

Meanwhile Punter thinks half the team might never play a test again.

While Warne turns the blowtorch on 'horrific' Smith.

Did the English WAGS adversely affect their teams performance?

Silly theory ... if it really 'worked', the solution might be to get the WAGs to shag the opposition players ...

Or shag the fans. Just one fan. An Indian fan.

Do you have effigies of the WAGs, my good sir?

Just the inflatable kind.

Stupid thing to say.

Mind you, I can't explain what happened either.

That still only gives you a 1 in a billion chance.

Is Healy's niece still a WAG?

maybe he got some scoop about a bitchfest

WAGs are a distraction if they are there ...and they are also a distraction if they arent there

11 Wattos vs 11 Belfs

Recent evidence suggests Watto is even crap at being a eunuch....

Well, i don't agree that the WAG's lost us the series but i can understand where Heals is coming from. In previous tours the WAGS were only allowed to join the tour once the series had been decided. Apparently this is no longer the case so you have the situation where the WAG's are on holiday but the men are working. All you married guys out there can imagine the pressure & nagging for attention the players must have been experiencing. To put it another way, how many of you take your wives/girlfriends to work every day? It MUST be a distraction.
As i said, this is not the reason we lost but it sure as hell did'nt help.

Hmm. I work from home a lot in the evenings. My woman just gets on and does her own thing. Are the WAGs so needy that they can't understand the need for their partners to earn the money that's keeping them in diamonds and ridiculously large SUVs? Damn... if my woman was earning that sort of money and taking me on tour, I'd be out on the razzle or whatever else constantly. As for the bitchiness, well.... I've never been one to listen to such dogshit.

Well i'm just surmising but it seems logical to me.

it seems bloody silly to me
the girls know this is their mens job. they know the job depends on performance. theyre adults not brainless airheaded children

dont any of the english wags attend the matches? how much of a distraction is it for the home team to have their families around?

we were beaten for the simple reason that we cant play the moving ball. Any of us with any objectivity were saying this would happen before the team left. running around blaming evil titty magic for the mens poor showing is just the sort of ****** stupid comment youd except from a knobjockey like healy

Ah, ETG jumps in to defend the women.

ahhh etg jumps in to attack ian healy

Surely one of the most stupid things Healy has said ... so far.

Sadly I am sure he can do worse.

the next time he opens his mouth

According to Marsh banning the WAGS might lead to divorces.

The grapevine is strong that there was conflict between the wives of Clarke and Warner though.

Well i can still remember Rod Marsh plonking two slabs of Swan Lager on the bar at the Kings Head in Earls Court in 1977. He did'nt seen too worried about divorce then.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

But I fully agree with you blaming the WAGs is pretty weak, almost as weak as your top six. But not quite.
