Aussie Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Swimming? Really? 1. It's not remotely relevant to cricket. 2. Any sane person on this earth knows we are far superior to you at swimming. I could post up gold medals and world records from our men and women in the pool and go for hours. Not sure you could make 5 mins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Supposedly Harris technically has a broken leg, the result of bowling with a knee joint that is itself so knackered that it cannot cushion the impact of his front leg. The cracked tibia would require a bone graft to correct and he would be 36 by the time he came back from that. The retirement suddenly makes an awful lot of sense.

Aussie Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 It's a real shame about Harris. On his day he was superb when it all came together but sadly his luck on injuries was just awful. Makes the selection for me Johnson, Starc, Siddle and Hazlewood with Cummins squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, you forgot to mention boasting, sheep-shagging and wearing tasteless clothing as your three other national achievements. And the Welsh probably run you close on number 2!

Weird that you often talk as if you still live in Oz. Think you put on one thread about your dad telling you that the Aussies are disliked by us Brits, as it you didn't know yourself.

Aussie Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 My dad did say that yes. He speaks from quite a much longer history than I. He comes from Bristol and spent many years growing up there. Whereas I grew up in Queensland and Melbourne and arrived in the UK in recent years for work. I on the other hand will admit that most of my friends outside of work in the UK come from Australia. His judgement on the mood and thoughts of the poms are better than mine. Although right now he lives in Brisbane and I live in Henley on Thames. Anyway, I have a ticket for days 2, 3 and 4 for Cardiff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Even without that bouncing rat and your posting name; ones shear arrogance alone gives away your allegiance, is there really any need for such abhorrent arrogance old bean. The Australians are great competitors in sport, yet they lack the class of the English and respect and kind courtesy shown by India or the Kiwis. Of course this is a sweeping generalisation, one that is upheld without denial by your comments Aussie, banter or not it comes off a little lame and just pulls harder on the coat tails of arrogance like every stereotypical evaluation most countries have of the average Australian . I've family in Adelaide and they love the people, my friends in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne also rejoice of the lifestyle and indigenous people they share it with yet without notice and almost on que the Ozzy stereotype pushes past those thoughts of friends and family, with a burp and cold can of VB in hand I present to you the cricket fan of Australia. whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 In the last 17 Ashes matches in England the Aussies have won just 3. They haven't won the ashes over here for 14 years. I can see England winning the series this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 It is a morning to bowl but I cannot see Cook being brave enough to put them in. Will get easier as day goes on I think so will try to get through morning session. They might put us in though. Pretty sure we will be batting in 1.5 hours regardless of who wins the toss. And sure we will be something like 80-3 at lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
