Never as badly as the poms in this series

I highly doubt that. Have you seen every game? Are you like most convicts, talk it up but never even go.

[adelaidebloke]

4 nill....end off, go home and enjoy ya floods!!!!

4 nill....end off, go home and enjoy ya floods!!!!

how many days of cricket did you watch this year?

Floods, big deal. When bush fire season, when's flood season again? Somehow think you have that a lot worse. How many deaths in the floods in England? How many died in bush fires and floods in Australia last year?

You really should think before you type.

yes

As i have pointed out to you before, i have been a pom a lot longer than you

[God is an Englishman]

That's not hard, I've never been a pom - I'm English and I don't believe you that you have seen every game.

[ozzie owl]

Great to go to the first two days in a Melbourne and see a real war of attrition.

Whilst scoring rates were low still better than the 20/20.

Neither! NEXT!

I have not sunk the boot into England much because I respect what they have done in the past few years, but wow, they are actually horrible now. What an absolute mess. When you have a captain setting ridiculous fields, bowling Root before Monty (hoping the ball would reverse later! WTF!) and then grassing a chance at first slip, you have to wonder, is it time for a bit of a change of leadership. His batting is not fantastic either.

I cannot believe I am typing this, I actually almost felt sorry for them yesterday.

As for the Barmy Army, who cares. Sing all you want, all you can ever hear on the TV is just the same moronic thing over and over. That is not the Aussie style support, this country's supporters doesn't really sing at any events. Not our thing. We just turn up in massive numbers and watch England get dismantled.

One thing I do agree with the barmy army - its when they sing "we are mental and we are mad". The bigger the impending loss, the louder they roar. Must like losing so much it rubs off on the team.

[God is an Englishman]

you turn up in massive numbers when you're winning, you hardly turn up at all when you're shit. England fans turn up every day, win, lose or draw.

If Cook's is so terrible, how comes he is the youngest player to score 8,000 runs? I believe he has more runs than your captain as well, so I guess he's not very good either.

Leadership has been poor in this series, I think after winning so easily recently we started to believe it was going to be easy.

The cons have lifted for this series but I think they'll get seriously found out in sa as the top order has been found out in every first innings and sa won't take their foot off their throats.

As for England - captain and coach's jobs are in jeopardy.

[Bomber]

anyone who thought England were going to lose this series, knows nothing about cricket.

I predicted a narrow win. I was wrong, I should have said we would bolt in.

But seriously, that is a very narrow minded post. You could see the Aussies weren't as bad as the 0-3 scoreline over there and when Beefy came about muttering on about a 5-0 win over here, one just has to laugh it off. Yes he knows plenty about cricket, but so does Shane Warne, who said we would win. Nuff said.

it's called supporting your side, no matter what.

I said we'd win 2-1, I could only see you getting a win in perth. The 3-0 was close but remember but for weather it would have been 4-0.

If drug cheat said you'd win then he was playing the patriotic card or he was just following his commentary style of just copying what the bloke next to him has just said. Beefy has said he was taking the piss when he said 5-0, he was taking the piss out of McGrath. And yes, he said he was taking the piss before the series started.

Normal people get disappointed when their team loses.

and here's you claiming to know a lot about cricket. Ask Vaughan what his thoughts are on the matter. Methinks he may know a little more than you about cricket.

So are you denying that but for the weather it would have been 4-0?

Ask Vaughan, he knows more than me. But the clue would be in the fact his answer would be same as mine.

hold on I'll just give him a call.


sorry, no answer he's probably on the golf course.

So facts are these, 3-0 in England was close but for the weather could have been 4-0.

Me too and also that Johnson would be bowler of the series..... I win...

[swannsong]

Most of the sound I heard from the the English supporters was just proclaiming about themselves ie "We are the Army...the Barmy Barmy Army." they seem to be heavily into their own self importance (as supporter groups tend to be).
I guess too, many see coming to Australia for an Ashes tour as a big summer holiday, a chance to get away from the chill and gloom in the UK...and they are permanently in party mode...
They create a bit of the football atmosphere and are good for the game....does sound good when they sing Jerusalem.

Wasnt Beefy dropped from the English camp for drug usage on a Caribbean tour

How can "could have been" be labelled "a fact" to begin with? Until you can grasp this, then you may want to revisit this 4-0 rubbish.
Bottom line - we have a REAL 4-0 lead.
