How on god's earth did we get out of that!?
Great game of cricket. Hopefully more of that to come...
Lucky buggers... well, I'm giving the antics with your 12th man and trainer the benefit of the doubt.
well they batted for 12 overs whos to say they wouldn't last till 7 anyway
ps we will burry you lot on thrsday at lords
great test at cardif! The Aussies yanked the Lions tail and the Lion turned and bit them! roll on Lords!
If an English captain said anything like that out here, he would get torn to shreds by the Aussie papers, I dont care if England dont win the Ashes, just seeing Pontings hurt look as he cried and whinged was worth all the Ashes in the worrld. (and its time the BBC stopped backing the Aussies, and tried backing England for a change)
Ahaha, you mean the Aussies yanked the lions tail and the lion ran as far away as they could, right?
I interesting you say that. The great Australian cricket team couldn't even bowl out either of our 2 tail-enders, in over an hour. Then somehow it is the fault of the 12th man? Sour grapes if you ask me. I'm sorry I don't see it...
Interesting - if you guys were so confident that you could hold a draw, I guess you wouldn't have needed to resort to any time-wasting antics, would you? But somehow, they happened anyway. But like I said, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt.
It's so cute to see you poms all happy about having (just barely) not lost a test against us finally, after we wiped you out 5-0 over here. I know you want to try to relive your 2005 brief glory, but that was a long time ago, you're going to have a rough time of it ;)
And you guys DID waste time. I'm just giving you guys the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't deliberate.
I'm giving Ponting the benefit of the doubt when he ran screaming to the umpire with the ball in his hand claiming a catch when the ball went nowhere near the bat. Ya.
Well... if we play this "I'll give the benefit of the doubt" game much longer, it will end up with me saying "I'd give England the benefit of the doubt about bodyline, but HELL NO!"....
You're right, your stupidity at attacking my vocabulary has somewhat dumbfounded me. And I'm afraid you missed the point too, it's not "if we dont win, it means the other side cheated". It's that "if the other side cheated, the other side cheated, regardless of the result".
But honestly, we're sorta happy for you here that you at least managed a draw against us, however you got it ;) cutie
I don't think I've seen much impressive vocabulary from you Duguello, so I'm hardly going to be bothered when you insult mine, just be surprised you bothered to try that tack.
Yeah, I noticed you guys got a few hundred runs. It didn't get you guys anywhere near a win last time though, did it? You guys had better hope the weather helps you as much this time as it did in the first test ;) cutie.
ooooh, pressure pressure. How about... "you'll be back"? Yeah, that'll do.
I don't mind...draw all the games you like...we'll still get to keep the Ashes after a 0-0 series.
Good win today. Come on England!
