It could be worse. Remember 1984-85?

The last time Australia lost five Tests in a calendar year was 1985. Which came on the back of a very black year in 1984, where there were 6 losses in a row.

Seven of those losses eleven losses in the two years came out of ten successive Tests against the West Indies. Of course, Australia's not silly enough to play consecutive home and away series against really tough opposition these days...

There was also an Ashes series in there, which went to England 3-1.

And a 2-1 series loss in Aus to NZ.

At least this time Australia's already beaten the kiwis.

Commiserations to certain Aussie forummers. I really sympathise, but huge congatulations to the Saffies.

dem,

now can you get rid of that avatar.

pretty please

Prefer this one?

Good lord.

Spare me now.

Actually, take me now, burn me at the stake.

I'll see what else I've got then.

It's really nice to see that you can joke in the face of adversity Zat. Much better than the earlier approach. Much more British!

I'm sure it _will_ be worse.

Well its not like the next series for you is easier...

Dem, I've been able to joke all the way through, it's just people talking shit that I can't handle.

I'm glad and I'm also sorry.

Thanks. But never anything to worry about. I've done what has to be done about crockashitt, and will now look forward to how the Aussies can make a pigs ear out of the SCG Test.

Fixed.

Naughty

Commiserations indeed. I hate FTB Kallis. You're not going to get whitewashed Aus!
