The Ashes: contains spoilers

I'm not sure.

Careful octo, he might be trying to steal your soul....... ;-)

VimFuego

borrow. I borrow souls, I don't steal them. I always give them back. Sure, they may be somewhat... soiled, but I never keep them.

mike_l

I'm assuming "Soiled" is another way of saying "destroyed"

octatonic

Are they seriously calling it a day due to bad light?

Show me the fucking coffins.

mike_l

indeed, show the coffins.

 

It doesn't look that bad, it's not like it's pitch black or anything.

Ooooooh. 2/15.

That is nice.

We're not making this easy on ourselves, we are showing worrying signs of folding against a team that puts in some effort.

VimFuego

looks pretty much all over now, can't see us rescuing this now. Very poor showing all round.

Bell and Root will save the day!

Pietersen needs to start batting properly. 1 ton in 3 tests isn't good enough

"Bar"??? 

Isn't it a bit racially stereotypical to mention *that* word in an implied connection with the Aussies.

 

 

OTOH, "whinging" is entirely acceptable.

Sh1t  - so you guys didn't even come second???

octatonic

I wouldn't really know- I've never been north of Watford.

Never had the need I guess- no use for heroin and a dose of chlamydia doesn't appeal either.

It is supposed to be summer though.

Welcome to England.....

Remind me again, Doesn't 2-0 and a draw involve England retaining the Ashes??

 

I jest, I'd rather have had the match played out fully.
