    Mate of mine has gone today, been something he'd planned to do over the years and never got around to.

    Apparently hasn't watched a single over and is busy getting pissed. 

    £80 a ticket for him and his missus!

    What happened to the Australia that played the first couple of matches?

    This current lot look like they know how to play the game and actually want to "win".

    Can't be right ...

    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Fuck me gently, KP has started being a proper battering man. At last.

     

    Jimmymum has apologised to everyone for not bowling the Aussie ruffians out in 2 overs. Apparantly they've started hitting the ball??

     

    I didn't really understand after the first 2 tests.

     

    Freddiemum is still pished in Weatherspoons......

    England is closer to avoiding that than Aus in the last test, quite why Cook didn't make Aus follow on last time out I'll never know.......

     

    Or are you writing the "Follow-on" song?

    Oh shit..........

     

    Still, after the pisstaking of Octo at the "other place, of which we shall not speak", I'm expecting a massive amount of revenge from those "Aussie Ruffians"

    ;-)

    I can be magnanimous, I think.
    You have enough of your plate dealing with the emotional distress of your side failing so majestically than is seems churlish to rub it in.

    I would have liked to see a follow-on but this is good... for me.

    I think I might have earned the revenge piss-taking.

     

    I also think I'm man enough to take it on the chin.

     

    Mind the weather might just help us out.........

    It would be somewhat ironic to lose the ashes due, not to English skill, but due to English weather.

    You'll find Freddiemum in Weatherspoons, if you're quick it his round next.........

     

    And yes, I'm agreeing on the weather. Although, fair play to the umpires, early tea (ok by 10 mins) whilst the wet stuff was falling was sensible........

    it would be ironic, except you will mostly lose to English skill. Just as you lost the previous 2 times.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    you said the ashes, I assumed you were referring to the whole series. Clearly you have outplayed us in this match, however we outplayed you in the 1st two matches and will no doubt pull out the collective finger and knock your mob for 6 in the next two matches.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
