Pixels. Your looking at millimeters from a camera 100 yards away and on an angle. Balls pitching outside the line given LB, balls hitting bats and pads being given out. Im switching it off, its rigged.

You want to see a good contest and your giving decisions based on 1/24th of second camera from 100 yards away on an angle. Forget that the second opinion is blocked, its just cheating. You want to win so bad, have them.

We'll play the old fashioned way.

Kid , refrain !!!

You got beat . End of . We took it last time , from Glenda fukn McGrath !!!
First , Swannys an off-spinner , thus can be outside the line - of off - and still get wickets . Moreover , the stumping was OUT . The line belongs to the bowler , mate . It's in the laws .
Clark was plumb at Headingley and went on to get a ton . Watson ditto here . Our first 3 wickets , 2nd dig were no-balls . It happens .
Mate , and your piece de resistance , of , we'll play the old fashioned way , ...
This , from the nation who bowled under-arm to stop the Kiwi's winning a non-entity o.d.i. ???
Me bird's arl-girl would call it , choice .

Lad , content yourself with the knowledge that your more Pommed - Up than most Convicts , crack open a bottle kid . It's party time !!!!

I generally concur , mate , though KP is class . Shouldnt have gone to IPL , but coz he did he pig-headedly carried on , injured . Thus , never got into any form .
As for 2005 . It was merited . It had been 18 years since we'd won it at all , and 24 since a home win . That side lifted the Country . Flintoff was a genuine hero .
Fuk , when you see some of the clowns who get gongs , Mr. Mandelson , they earned theirs , except perhaps Colly , who has S.J.O.B.E. on his - Simon Jones' O.B.E.
Nasser saved us . Agreed . Flethcher was good , sometimes very good , but too intransigent for me . if you don't bowl 90 mph , you cant play for us . Dropped Thorpe , retained Bell . Plus , let Troy Cooley go home .

Just a point on this game ; actually our best chance is if they do get 300 or so . Then the pressure goes onto them . They have to play shots then , but also look to stay in .
TELLING YOU ; GET COLLY ON WITH HIS CUTTERS . NOW !!!

It was the ECB not renewing cooleys contract that led him to leave and since then Harmy just hasnt been the same.

Fletcher i agree was as stubborn as an ox and becuase of it we didnt push on from the last ashes win insisting on player whos where past thier best and he paid for it with his job after the shambolic world cup.

The gongs from last time was,for me at least nothing more than a new labour publicity stunt,they couldnt give a toss about cricket and showed that by letting one of the crown jewels of tv sport cricket,be sold off to sattalite tv 18 months later.

KP is class i'm with you there mate BUT he's a money graber..i wonder honestly now how long he'll play test cricket before "retiring" to the one day stuff not long i'll wager,Flintoff had an excuse he didnt look after himself when he was young and has paid dearly for it with his career,when you think what he could have become,jesus he'd could and i do say could have been one of,if not the best all rounders of all time,as his career ends now he "merely" sits in the very good catagory,in the group below botham,dev,khan and hadllee,for awhile there i thought he would have surpassed all those glittering names alas it wasnt to be.

But we won them back,on a very poor wicket (dont want to hear about Pontings whingeing becuase if that was in Aus land and been forced to play a decider on it our captain,whoever it was would have right to complain) its the end of a brilliant era for Aussie cricket and one i'm sure we'll all look back on and think,yeah what a side,the best moment for me was gatting being bowled by warne back in 1993..i was there and a few of us wondered why he was walking off,lol,it didnt look that good a ball in the flesh so to speak..then i saw it on tv and realised it was something special
 

Main news *England have won the ashes* Meanwhile in lesser news 10000 people have had to leave their homes in Greece because of fires.
