Yes, throwing the ball out to your kicker is exactly the same as drugs. That's a clutch, even for you.

Hard to be found "not guilty" when the final hearing hasn't taken place.

Switzerland, isn't it? Locally all clear. If there was evidence, you'd think it would be found by now. Just a witch hunt now.Slinky_Pete wrote:Hard to be found "not guilty" when the final hearing hasn't taken place.

Seems the easiest way to avoid detection is to not answer your door when the bell rings

I thought it was bad when someone retired mid series but less than a week out

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Mid series? Hasn't started yet when I last looked. At least no crying "I wanna go home cos those nasty Aussies are swearing at me and getting me out (or smashing me around the ground)".

You are correct, I should have said mid tour. You area also correct, it's even worse. Retiring before a ball is bowled.Bomber wrote:Mid series? Hasn't started yet when I last looked.

Didn't realise how deep that last 5-0 still cuts you up. Talk about straws.

Nice try at deflecting.
Quitting mid tour - I seem to remember people being slated for doing that recently.

So they all retired mid tour. Yet, it's OK if the player is Australian.

Facts are, he's pulled out mid tour. Something you claimed was wrong 18 months ago but seems to be OK now.

England - players quit because they were scared
Australia - player pulls out 'cos he can hardly walk let alone run
Simple

England player quits because he wasn't getting picked and wanted Christmas with his family/needed medical attention.
So funny how you believe everything a criminal says but nothing the other way round.
Quit mid tour, end of the story really.

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
As I said, black/white - thankfully you're not a lawyer.
You see no difference to :
1. Retired mid-series because getting smashed
2. Went home early due to mental stress (otherwise known as getting out early to the nasty bully boys)
3. Injured, irreparable so had little choice but to retire?
Even your lot are saying Harris was the bigger danger than Johnson. You should be counting your blessings!

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Yes, and whilst we were laughing at why some of the the poms couldn't wait to go home early, you're just grateful one of ours now has no choice and who will be spewing he can't play. But nah, no difference there hey.......

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
1. You are the choosing the story about why they retired
2. You weren't happy that a batsmen as great as Trott or the best spinner in the world was going home.
3. Retiring mid tour - ahh the hypocrisy.

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Looking at the weather forecast looks like some early rain (should not affect play though) but some cloud cover around.
Fair bit of rain set for day 5.
I think we'll have a bowl thanks.
