Lol flower this is pathetic. We saw how many balls bell in particular left early on in his innings, wow big surprise his concentration and attitude to fight got him a ton, rescuing them from 3-28. Why couldn't 1 aussie batsmen show even a tiny bit of that application? Pur bowlers deserve better than only 50 overs of rest. This is why I was a fan of cowan, ignoring the last test where he was awful he rarely gave away his wicket easily. The DRS system is farcical, why the hell would hughes review the decision straight away if he had hit it.

Rant over lol. Come on sids your a gun mate get a 10-fa, all out for 78 for the poms  :P. Then we'll get all put for around 30 lol.

So you English toss-pots.

You claim to be so mighty and powerful however you can merely breakeven with a 'bunch of convicts' with a population half your size! Hm.

Really, if you think about it (not too hard, you might pass out), England should have more than double the Ashes series we have... buuut you don't.



And I'm not even counting the help you've had from South Africa.

Puh-lease you Pommy flowerers!
Used to be a lot worse than that.

If we go back to 1920, England had a total population of just under 38 million.

Australia had a population of just over 5 million.

Yet from 1920-1930 Australia won 4 series to 2. Statistically speaking, England just isn't very good at cricket.

We should get to dip our hand in the South African honey-pot as well. 
Imagine if those 'English' 'stars' were playing for us!  :-[

Just imagine Trott and Pieterson at 3-4 instead of Hughes and Khawaja ::)

This is why we suck now, not because we lack talent, but these two summed it up.

I hope that Boof or an ex player came into that change room and flowerin blistered the paint on the wall, eyeballed each an everyone of those players and talked about the pride of Australian Cricket, the gall of a champion, pointed to that coat of arms and made them feel flowerin ashamed for that effort...

I think the top 7 need a spray, we shouldn't be relying on a 19yo in his 2nd game to make our runs. Someone needs to take Watson aside and say do not use a review on your flowering lbw unless you middle it into your pad or your standing off the pitch.

AFEV

When was the last time Watson made a significant amount of runs?

Should be dropped, especially with the off-field stuff - IMO.

yeah I was very surprised when he was guaranteed a spot opening by boof before the first test. Hasn't scored runs in a long time, has actually looked in good touch at times this series, batted well with some lovely drives before he was out. Reckon opposition teams may have figured him out though, always a chance of getting him lbw as he plants that front foot so early, only a little bit of seam movement and you can get him.

He can bowl too :P
I hear they're omitting the whole squad and just letting Gilly, Boof and Warney play out the rest of the series.
