City oz

England cricket fans across the world and in OZ now lament on social media on how bad the team are. Including comments from ex players. We are the laughing stock of world cricket unfortunately . We have a Sydney test next and then due to the Western Australian Covid sanctions the 5th test is now being played in Hobart Tasmania which if any of you know is a fantastic place to live and weather close to the Pommie climate. If we do not get a win in Tassie at Hobart then the whole bloody team should get the sack.

Go back to bed

Apart from a bit of a show on the 2nd day we then gave up. The team now has an extra two days off and the plan was probably we are not going to win this 3rd test and the ashes so we may as well have some time off and party. A bit embarrasing being a Pom in OZ at the moment. ?

OMG are you talking about the England Cricket team or our club at BS3. Very similar expectations I think.

I just watched the highlights or were they the low lights. The goals we conceded were poor and almost like school boy defence stuff. Apart from a great start, a very god penalty save by Bents and Massengo coming close a couple of times our defence and what it seemed like some players just giving up over all it has too go down as a frustrating performance.

European nations have not got the volume of extra nurses and doctors. They are probably worse off than the UK. It is a dire situation across the world. I appreciate your comments but to me they are like taking my dog to the beach and by the way my dogs name is shark.

Looks like it only cost one pound 75 pence for a ticket. Well worth the money I think

Hi Never to the dark side, gees mate I put me glasses on, tried to expand the computer screen. Looks 6/4 for either so the bookies are saying a draw, Can not see any of the real stuff though on goal scorers, half time score etc. What is the odds for a 2-1 win to us at full time. What is the odds for a 1-1 at half time. Does also Messango have any odds of scoring. This young lad is going to get one very soon.

https://barmyarmy.com/2021/12/12/a-guide-to-adelaide-ashes-2021-22/ Worth looking at the link. The Barmy Army is alive and well and flying the flag and singing. Not the same though with out the other members having to stay in the UK and missing the test matches in OZ this OZZIE summer.

I visit Adelaide usually six times a year with work. Stay always at the Stamford Plaza in North Terrace. The rooms look over the stadium with the river end in front of you. Great City, Great infrastructure, good pubs and everything in walking distance and probably one of the top 5 cricket or sporting venues in the world.

Hope so. Yes it feels like a win for us.

Watching it constantly from home at Perth. Had planned to be in Adelaide for the test but had to cancel. Can go to SA from WA but cant get back to WA without 14 days quarantine.

well he did not get good service. it was a lucky 1-0 win. In years gone buy we would of been 3-0 up at half time.

Great comment. I think the young guns are playing to impress and are a great talent for our future. They seem to play with less pressure than the old guys.

Some what disagree on this . He is still quite young at 24 years old. He has a great build and stature and is around 6 foot 2. Not sure what we originally bought him before but it would be a lot less than what he is worth now on the market in the next transfer window. Most sites have in valued at 1.9 mill. He could be playing in a position a bit out of his comfort zone. NP has faith him and he is playing the lad in these positions for a reason. Please do not right him off Melks and I do not think he would be playing if he was not being interest in being here. The team around him has a major factor as most of the 8 out of 11 seem to be in limbo at the moment.

1-1

Sounds good to me but what is this all about. I would love to have more info.

Might be prudent for the mods to take this one out. It is too upsetting for me and posts by fellow OTIB supporters are all shocked. We do not need to attract any liability where our valid comments around the devastating events that took place in regards to this young lad can be interpretated by any legal team in favor of the scum that did this hidious task.,

reading these posts has bought tears to my eyes. Bloody hell what is going on around the world.

Well the last of the five test matches between OZ and us Pomms is in Perth. Can not buy tickets though as the venue maybe called off due to the restrict WA travel boarders with other states. Those of which may of visited OZ years back and attended the WACA ground that ground is gone and dusted. Google Optus Stadium and the pub called the 'shag bar" Perth over looking the Swan river. There is still memoribala around the bar from the barmy army

I do not think it will eventuate but the pressure on NP poor bloke must be building. The clubs expectations and the supporters expectations are and always been quite realistic that promotion was always going to be two seasons away. But we are always two season away. NP will never get the sack and most likely leave on his own terms. After all he is one of the best we have had.

Great words Red Rock you summed it up. So tragic all round
