Who to blame when Australia loses the Ashes.

Those bastards from The Chaser, of course...

Qunts.

Indeed. The whole 'we put 2009 on there as well' thing was guaranteeing a flogging, wasn't it.

Andrew Bolt will probably blame the ABC.

Bob Brown will blame global warming.

Kevin Rudd will blame the previous government.

In due season...

I blame simmo....as hildy's father in law he was doubtless instrumental in getting him the job as chair of the NSP

What loss?

That's the spirit, Mick.

There's nothing about this England batting lineup that should worry Ponting. There's nothing about the England fielding that should worry Ponting. Flintoff will only bowl 20 overs in a 90 over day - that shouldn't be a major concern.

This series is a feckin long way from being done.

Except 3 flat, low slow wickets, and a bowling attack that lacks a leader.

and a bowling attack that lacks a leader

We'll form a bowlers committee then & gang bang the poms!

Or just select Gump.

Gump for Johnson. We're agreed.

and watto for fleas...we are playing for wins not draws

....except our d!ckhead selectors will go in to the third test with exactly the same side as the second & we'll be farked.

Now now Merls, that is most unsporting of you.

Surely you'd rather win it as you did in 05, with 5 hard fought and gripping Tests with your boys prevailing? We've had two so far - 3 more of the same would be grouse.

agreed...tho with the result going our way this time...S have you noticed the collective pomgolian amnesia about the last ashes series...none of them mention that 5/0 slaughter

Tis understandable h, but it's history to me as well. This series is all that matters at present.

we can't make history without understanding it

You know this side ain't bad on paper. They just have to do what they're paid a large (Well large for idiots whose mother's were obviously sucking on thalydimide) amount of money to do.

Having Ricky sent instructions via a physio every two miutes would hepl as well.

hmmn...think I am horribly paraphrasing a Karl Marx aphorism from his early writings..."philosophers have only interpreted the world; the point is to change it" from his theses on feurbach?

T'was done as a wind-up skullers ...

I've already said before that I'd rather a free flowing head to head scrap over 5 days (well 4 now that Bell is playing) than having to ponce on and off the field dodging showers and amassing the 'overs yet to be bowled in a day' column.

But I sensed a certain Aussie nationalistic theme creeping in that needed culling immediately .... it won't do y'know ... absolutely not.

As mentioned on certain other threads on here, this boorish attitude and quntish behaviour just will not do, so back off and know your place.

geddit ....

Edit: PS I just love it when a plan comes together ... I've even got Horrie all uppity and huffed - and bugger me, even agreeing with skulls !!

Lenin and our Mao would know what to do with the NSP
