I want to report a crime.....

[DaveR]

I confess to giving up on Cricket when Andrew Symons was fined for not showing up to a stupid press conference in Darwin and going fishing instead.
I decided it was a rediculas advertising show and no longer a sport to appreciate, and I am yet to be proved wrong.
I am sure in the past that if an aussie gave one to a pomme in a bar, he'd have been carried on the shoulders of the team onto the field for the next match. What the heck is this sheit we have now.
When the Kiwi's beat us 3 games to nil in one day matches several years ago, and the kiwi team wage was equal to 1 of our players, I cheered for them.
There you have it, a bit of a whinge for you.

DaveR, I'm with you. Cricket has gone crap because its given in to $$ and tv. I was originally excited by the fact that 90 was televising the series, but so far I have watched less than one session collectively over 3.5 tests. The DRS needs modifying, not canning. The players need sacking. And I need a drink.....

[UIZ733]

Someone has kidnapped the Australian cricket team and replaced them with people who can actually play cricket....

The mongrels escaped......................no need to report anything

Ah yes, found at last. And the memories of how rubbish we are come flooding back.

[Garfish]

4 days again     Watson is lucky at least with the injury he can retire from tests so he doesn't get dumped

[paulo]

Stolen goods returned. Unfortunately.

[Nay-DMAX]

Paul(SA) maybe you should of waited till after the test to report the crime haha perhaps they wouldn't of been found so soon.

Pathetic efffort. Talk about a mid order collapse. Lost 6 for 31 in 13 overs  

Anyone got the number of the women's Ashes team?

Funny a mate had a post on their FB page asking for players for the Aus team I said I will play the series here I am captain batting at 4 and if I can figure out how I will bowl too haha.  Never played a game in my life but reckon I will do ok lol

I'd say youd do a darn sight better than that lot over there at the moment.......put me down as a medium pace all rounder

Actually,  I reckon 11 sacks of potatoes could do better than the aussie cricket team right now!!

You are in the team as you can see I am selector as well now.  Where would you like to bat anywhere but number 4.  Since they don't have a full batting team anyway I might put my heeler x in as fielder or wickey

[lino6]

Our boys showed true guts and determination, fought hard till the end and everyone played their part.

Sarcasm doesn't really come across in text does it....

At least they play better at home, so should last 5 days for the loss. Hopefully they'll retire off Watson and Play Falkner in the last test. Need to move away from the traditional pommie all rounder (can't bat can't bowl) and to the modern all rounder.

BTW - Southern stars 6 declared for 331, just send them out for the last test 

[Draggin]

The original post must have been a sham !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How dare you put the mockers on the wannabee a cricket team.

I suggest we export them to Nauru or Atlantis   

[Garfish]

Ill play,  opening bat and bowl either leg or off spin,

[jclures]

Did I here that they are now paying Clark $6,000,000 for his current contract, I would think $5,999,990 to much.

His payments from cricket Australia is 2.5m. Not bad coin if you can get it.    His other sponsors, ipl and other arrangements tops it up to the reported 6m. Either way maybe I should of listened to my cricket coach as a little boy

Finally Pup wins the toss and decides to bat first

Result may not change but at least might make 5 days this time

Optimism is the essence of life, but don't start a gambling career with predictions like that. With Watson batting at 3 (actually, anywhere for that matter) the collapse is imminent. Smith, Faulkner, etc have nothing consistent to offer other than garbage, which is remarkably consistent this series. What the Aussies wouldn't give to have M Hussey at 6....

Retired too early gosh I miss Huss, Watson should do all a favour and retire (despite above posts about playing no I could not do better but still have and opinion on it) or at least they should drop him.

Well, here we go again 1-11. Warner: 100 or (more often than not) diddly squat. Groundhog day must be this team's favourite movie.

1 down in under 20minutes...
It's a cracking time in sport to be British at the moment. Lions, Tennis, Ashes. It's only taken 30years!
