But just to reiterate, Steve made the original post not me u

Too Funny....

IN A NATION renowned for its whining, this is its No.1 whinger.

England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke is moaning that the world-famous Gabba crowd crippled his team with their chants and barracking for the triumphant Aussies, and now wants the iconic ground dropped from future Ashes.

Poms threaten to boycott Brisbane

England's whinge over Gabba hypocritical

But a trio of Queensland cricket legends say the "precious'' Poms need to harden up and Brisbane should get top marks for making the old enemy feel unwelcome.

Former Queensland captain Jimmy Maher lavished praise on the Gabba crowd, which he compared to a State of Origin rugby league cauldron, and says the Poms only complained about the crowd to divert attention from their woeful cricket performance in Brisbane.

"The Poms are kidding, aren't they? Good, strong cricket teams don't worry about that sort of stuff,'' Maher said.

"I give 10 out of 10 to the people of Queensland being a great crowd during the Ashes.

"The fact the crowd got under England's skin, and the Poms are worrying about all sorts of silly stuff, is a real win.''

Stuart Law, the current Queensland coach and the man who famously captained the Bulls to their first Sheffield Shield win, also cannot believe the carry-on from the Poms.

Law, who played Test and one-day international cricket for Australia, described the Poms as "precious".

"Australia has not been beaten at the Gabba in Test cricket since 1988. I suppose the Poms saying they might not want to come here in future is one way for them to break that hold," Law said.

"They are being precious. They don't like playing at the Gabba, as simple as that.''

And the Queenslander who was in charge of a golden era of Australian cricket, respected former national selection boss Trevor Hohns, said the Poms had complained simply to take the focus off their Gabba drubbing.

"They are making big things out of little things to take the heat off their own performance in Brisbane,'' ex-Test legspinner Hohns said.

"Wherever you go in world cricket, the crowd gives you a bit of stick. People pay their money and they are entitled to have a bit of good natured fun.''

The poor-loser Poms were so infuriated at chants of "Stuart Broad is a wanker'' at the Gabba that Clarke made informal comments that he wanted Brisbane excluded from the next series.

The Poms also took offence to a comment by Lord Mayor Graham Quirk at a lunch, when Cr Quirk had a go at English batsman Kevin Pietersen after the cricketer tweeted he would rather watch paint dry than look around Brisbane.

Cr Quirk isn't backtracking.

"I offered the cricketer the keys to the city but I said it would be for the back door," he said.

Queensland Cricket is also bemused at the nonsense from the Poms. Before the complaints came to light, QC even received a letter from the England Cricket Board earlier this week thanking officials for their hospitality.

Ohhh so thats why ur goin tommorow, how nice of AO to look out for people like yourself!

[Derek]

Oh dear oh dear.

[Steve#4]

Always amazes me why bowlers feel a need to be right on the edge of the front line when bowling.....

So very very frustrating.

Felt the same when we were in England......

They have golf buggies to take the disabled to their sections...Sweet.

[Derek]

I suppose its no surprise runs are being scored in Adelaide but still frustrating. I did predict a draw for this test and 3-1 England......

I think I predicted 2-1 to Australia, Gabba was a surprise so with the Perth win I need this and the MCG to be draws.

I will take 3/4 nil win to ostraya though any day

[ozzie owl]

Past 400 now

[Bomber]

5/403.................rolling along.

Declare at around 550 I reckon, assuming no collapse. Want to bowl at least 15 overs at them in last session.

Declare at around 490 and make a game of it I think...... Hopefully that will give them a little bait to attack.

On another note, how does Monty get a game???? Average Bowler but can't field or bat.....Waste of a spot for me but not complaining

Still looks like a road to bat on, so wouldnt be surprised if the poms make a similar score. Could get tricky if we declared at 490 and they got 600.

Average bowler? Really? He'd be better than any spinner you have. Can't bat or field though.

Lyon or Monty? I know who I'd rather.

Yes, REALLY..... Not a Test Class Spinner and I would throw the ball to Lyon or even Smith before he.

[Delete Your Account]

Lyon - 89 wickets from 50 innings @ average 32.44 (SR 64.3) - 26 yo.
Pansyarse - 164 wickets from 81 innings @ average 33.78 (SR 73.4) - almost 32yo

[Derek]

This pitch is a road and England have no excuses if they dont get 400 - 500

[Steve#4]

Pansyarse - 164 wickets from 81 innings @ average 33.78 (SR 73.4) - almost 32yo

Lyon can field and hold a bat as well..

screw the poms, Aussies should bat until they all get out!
the way the poms bat, they will need all 3 days to make 600!

Davey Warner is a better spinner....and he open's the batting!

[ozzie owl]

Two English players have got centuries, third on the way?

Stop showing yourself up.

[Rookie]

Aussies have called a halt to the first innings, now for a 20 over session against the poms, hopefully we can get a couple before the end of the days play.

COME ON YOU AUSSIES!

[Steve#4]

They certainly appear to be playing without spirit.
