In one month from now...

We can forget all the crap associated with t20 'cricket' and pay notice to the most significant battle in cricket, and one of the longest-running sporting competitions in the world.

Yes, Ashes 2009 is now officially less than one month away.

Bring...

It...

On...

goody!

Yeah, can't wait to have our arses whooped. But at least its proper cricket.

Whooping arses ..... now there's a novelty!

I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the first test is at f**king Cardiff ...

Something to do with eating too much curry, I believe.

Just thought that since I do not care a whit for the Ashes, i.e. whether it stays or goes to live in Bumf*ck Ohio, I would spend a few minutes of my life to post about my utter boredom, ennui even, with this so called 'great' cricket competition.

I can spend more time writing about how I couldn't possibly give a damn.

Well, you're a loser then!

Huzzzz-ferkin-zzzzzzzahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL at furrie's disdain!
Wassup fella .. you worried that yet another repeat 10 match India v Pakistan sh!tfest "test series" might now have to be cancelled because of the troubles?

Come on, Pakistan v India series are the most important things in world cricket.

They provide highway engineers the world over with vital chances to test their latest design techniques.

I am humbled and stand corrected.

India vs Pakistan - "test" Series No. 132 ... rah, rah feckin' rah!

Indeed.

Get a grip merls. FFS.

Grip's tight Smerky ... I knew that comment would drag you out of the sheep dip.

Yesssss.

Yes, I can't wait. I've booked the 1st day off. That should sate me, we'll play our best cricket of the series in the first two hours

Gotta love an Ashes for the old Dart...

Dead of winter, dark at 5:30pm, cold (and perhaps wet)...game kicks off around 6:00pm, middle session ends around 10:40pm (decision time to sit up to the end or turn in)...

The Ashes IS Test cricket. Everyone else can go fark themselves, it's all a side show compared to the Ashes.

You're a lucky chap, I have to go into work every day drunk and sleep-deprived around Christmas when it's down under.

Lucky I don't need a dodgy link to watch the Ashes ...

Soft Wozzie - if the last session starts at 11pm there is no decision to make. It's when it starts at 1am and there are still 40 overs to go that you have a decision to make.... and then stay on the couch.

I reckon the 89 Ashes cost me quite a few marks in my HSC a couple of months later.

That should have been - 'your a looser', zat, in keeping with internet literacy standards.

Merlo, Ashes? The combined cricket loving populations of the two nations would probably fall below the number of people viewing a single IPL final. That's how important it is today, the 'greatest cricket tournament in the world'.
