He was clearly not hurt.  should they hold his hand?  only tossers are the dick head poms on this site.... i dont know why this is such a shock to you, its only normality reasserting....sun rises in the east...australia beat england (or should I say league of nations) at cricket....its the natural order of things.

Seems there has been a fairly heated discussion on here over night......If you can highlight who you are aiming this comment towards then the use of plural would potentially suggest it's a sweeping generalization. I for one take offense to this comment then as I don't think I have ever commented towards you or been as vocal on here as others about many aspects that are discussed.

Australia have outplayed England no question but to resort to childish name calling and belittling the English qualified cricketers is quite frankly pathetic and the nature of this post describes more about your true character than anything else. Comments can always get said in the heat of the moment......such as "sledging" but there seem to be very few English fans with rose tinted spectacles that think they are clearly innocent here. That said the tone of this post is unacceptable for me!

Read the post that I was responding to and see who always starts up.
How's the viewcfrom the soap box?

[Giraffe208]

The view from the soap box does not make pretty reading to be honest. I've read all of the posts but didn't see any reason for this type of response. You can maintain your level of arrogance on here then as it seems to be where you are most comfortable. I enjoy my time perusing topics on here and the majority of people post in a mature manner. I for one feel disappointed by your post and how it led to an escalation of which others are not so innocent aswell but for me this was the catalyst. Just my opinion of course

Hey can you play cricket!!!!  You might be able to play for England you talk about a cricketer of nations I guess you must have some pom in you until somebody was naughty.

All tongue in cheek stuff.

It's a game lets keep it about cricket hey manoramic agree about Lees only seen him once he looked good and to be fair to Bairstow he kept quite well and looked the part.

Plenty of positives can come ou of all of this new faces and a new start.

Exciting times I would say


Roll on the woman ashes lets see the girls go at it again and the one Day series

The urn has gone by we will get it back one day

Awp - you really need to tone it down and respect the fact that people have the right to an opinion - scatter gun name calling is not acceptable. I don't see any English fans calling Aussie fans here (neither would that be acceptable either) - if you can't contribute to the forum in an adult manner, then don't bother contributing at all thanks

I think if you feel this way awp then maybe this site isn't for you. This is a UK site which has a wide cultural range, Indian, Pakistani, Romanian, South African, Australian and many more but the majority would be from the UK. I have had disagreements on here with many different people and them also with me. We don't all have to agree on the same views in fact it's good to share each and everyone's different views and ideas, that's how we learn. From all those different disagreements I don't think I have any bad blood with anyone ( well maybe one, sorry fastreddie )

What I am saying here is I think you are way out of line with your comments and should maybe just tone them down a little.

During the ashes I hate all these poms but I admire each and every one of them for their knowledge of the game and/or the industry.

Rant over

Ha, yes, a lot of pom, no naughtiness though, great grandfather was a general in british army, got sick of shooting natives armed with sticks and settled in oz... you should see the queue now.....some suburbs in perth you will only hear pom accents, kid you not. One maternal gp also a pom came out after the war.  Did actually think of doingvthe move and qualifying, wasnt a lot of point of considering a cricket career in wa let alone aust in the 90's.

I posted in the bbl section;  can hales play proper cricket? Surely butler keeps no worse than bairstow?  Couple of unbelievable ball strikers , do they have test potential?

Neither Buttler or Hales have great first class records.

Hales was dropped from the 4 day team last season for his county Notts I'd say the League of Nations member Sam Robson would be next up to open the batting.

As for keeping Kieswetter was keeping in 1st class cricket so Buttler has moved county's for next season to give himself the platform to impress - but his batting stats need to improve (probably prior back in vs Sri Lanka in our next series with Buttler the future keeper).

I dont hate anyone, let alone people on a forum? Thanks for the sermon anyway. Yawn.

Suprising, they look like decent players not merely t20 bashers.  Different gsme with slips and the ball not in your half.

that albions grill was bent far to easy. he's lucky not to have the ball in there with him!

You're kidding right?
The albion helmet has just withstood a 150km/h accurate Mitchell Johnson bouncer. It's done it's job magnificently. Same with Rogers in the MCG test.

[beaver5]

wouldnt mind seeing how moeen ali goes at test level

I agree. He's a far better batsman than Borthwick and doesn't bowl pies! He's come on so much last season, particularly his spin bowling. Goes for very little and regularly gets plenty of wickets.

[procricket]

It has been also good to watch Steve Smith get some very good runs.

I had major doubts about him as a test player but he has done really well it has to be said.

Needs to stop spitting every two minutes though but he has got some pressure runs
