Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[Mailman the 2nd]

Well, what can I say. Captain Cook should never have come to Australia. 8)

lol thats a nice one PB

[Master Q]

Too bad there's no aboriginals in the team so it's not really Australia

Hi Jukes. This guy played for England in the second test. His name is Monty Panesar. Just want to make sure you know him as many of the bandwagon England fans weren't around then  :)

[tbagrocks]

Inevitable! Saying that, England were probably the winners :o

Three words, Root and Stokes

Three more words, Hughes and Khawaja, three more words, where were they?

Ok so we pummled em 8)  but, the Poms got top game time into two twenty two year olds, where is our game time? Into a 35 and 31 year old ::)  Other than the impeccably injury prone gun superstar bowlers, really would have preferred to see Hughes, Khawaja, Smith (Played) Paine, Cutting and even Mitch Marsh get the chance

But not just the chance, but as the Poms have done, pick them, leave them in to develop

End rant, go stralya ;D

I love your work tbag, but that is a bit silly ;)

I'd take winning the urn over fast-tracking a couple of youngsters development, any day!

Paine is 29, Wade is the next in line by a country mile

[Jay]

I find it ironic how Mitchy J is the one that the barmy army have given so much shower too, yet he has been the best player on the team that has just taken the urn from them :P

[Justin Bieber]

I say.... Jukes, You mad bro?

[Toga]

Paine is 29, Wade is the next in line by a country mile

What the flower happened to Paine? He was meant to be the next big thing!

Can't say I'm disappointed though, Haddin has been a star for us. What a champion.

[Windigo]

Paine has had a lot of trouble with finger injuries.

[BB67th]

Paine is back now and is keeping well, but hasn't had the same success with the bat recently he had pre-injury.

Matt Wade has shown that his keeping is not yet quite up to scratch, but he ill probably get there one day.

After Haddin retires, we only have one option.

BRING IN CHRIS HARTLEY.

Me likey

[Nails]

Why you all ruin me :'(

you all backed my fantasy trades :P

Cost me 81 points.

M Clarke (27 pts) traded in for C Rogers (80 pts)
J Root (13 pts) traded in for K Pietersen (64 pts)
P Siddle (156 pts) traded in for G Swann (133 pts)

I wanted to just go KP > Michael Clarke, but it wouldn't let me... so I had to make a trade where to maintain an Englishman instead of just Siddle and KP > Siddle and Clarke

So trading in Root to compensate is gay.

But oh well.

Have seen the urn at the Lord's museum. Gee when you see it only stands about 10cm high. I wonder if those old ladies that burnt the bails and put the ashes in this little urn would expect all the fuss over them 130 years on.
