How did ypu fair in the latest series?

we lost, I am just intrigued as to the historical stat that's being used and then what the other stat is. Are they acknowledging the first few series (which I don't think would dramatically change the stat) or are they considering them to not be "ashes" series?

Australia claims another victim....KP gone!

I know you lot like claiming things that aren't your. That can go for you as an aussie or as a greek, but how are you possibly claiming that one?

Using your logic then, anything achieved in England is by the French then.

He might apply to play for South Africa now.

So, I hear no-one showed up at the airport back in London, unlike last time. Where's all this so-called "support we could only dream about"? Seems like losers are treated much like everyone else when it comes to the crux.

can we not buy into Hawksey's deliberate attempt to redirect the conversation and keep it about how shite England are and the mess they find themselves in because of the Australians....

Good luck against South Africa.

Its boring listening to you fairweather cricket fans.

Whats worse is all the excuses and the fact that it was ok when things were different.

My attempt, it's you claiming a victory that has nothing to do with you.

you will have to explain that logic to me. Or explain your perception of my logic anyway.

who used the word 'victory'...I used 'victim'....

Hawksey = losing it....

MegaBonus wrote:who used the word 'victory'...I used 'victim'....

Hawksey = losing it....

so by claiming a victim, you're not claiming a victory

so if I inadvertently step on an ant and kill it....its a victim.....how is it a victory for me??

like I said...Hawksey = losing it..

anyway...back to the topic at hand.....Australia claims another English cricketing victim....

Yes, it would be a victory for you. You killed the ant. WELL DONE. CONGRATULATIONS.

So, seeing as you don't understand the language you're supposed to speak. How can australia claim a victim? Fuck all to do with australia.

Not really sure what your point is? As an England fan i have followed them through the highs and lows and prefer it when we are underdogs. Ive witnessed over a decade of sh*t from England but still enjoyed every minute. The Aussies only sing when they are winning, terrible losers and even worse winners.

But good luck in South Africa.

I can't see how anyone can possibly disagree with that.

I can't see how anyone can possibly care for your opinion.

I'll support the way I choose to.

I'm not surprised that some poms are so accustomed to being crap, as described by Derek, that they still enjoy every minute. I guess thats the similar attitude shown and why the cricket team got thumped. You blokes actually enjoy it?

You are free to support however you choose and I am free to ridicule you for doing so.

Point proven.

Sort of a sado-masochism?

It's because we don't all pick our sporting teams from the looking at the league table and picking the top team.

Do you lot really not understand how an unexpected win in better than an expected one?

Or how much an "unexpected loss" is so much worse......

So if you're so jolly about losing, why not at least show it more clearly? So far all I get are those "naughty aussies bashed us up".

We don't use the word "bashed" for a start.....

Ever heard the phrase, "when in Rome...........?"
