4th Ashes Test England v Australia July 19-23 1930hrs @ Old Trafford

[A Pom]

Are you serious??

It’s never ever been mentioned before by the Poms, yet because of the situation they want the rules changed??

Are you sure if the Poms were in our position,Root would have suggested this??

Hypocrisy 101….

Yes, Joe Root has never spoken about potentially changing the playing conditions to maximise playing time before...

And now it's in the hands of a truly worthy team

Hell, you should give us a part of it since it was us who got you in the final

Under the old system where no.1 in the world at years end got the mace it has taken until 2021 for our Tasman minnows to get to top ranked team in the world.

NZ - 8 (months)
Aus - 107

The fact you've pretty much just retained the Ashes and are still managing to cry about a hypothetical situation you've made up in your head is incredible.

You should get a job at the cinema because you're really good at projection.

 

[Mr Meow]

Word is that they will call it at 0200 am

Which watch have you decided to pick up? The new Dora the Explorer range look pretty nifty.

 

[Smeg Head]

I have a great memory of us winning the first ever world test championship.

Australia may have won it this year but we will always be the first team to win it.

Has a fat * due to the nonsense of points being docked for over rates not being uniformly applied.

 

[Plugger35]

I remember nz only making it because of over rates.

I also remember that in the grand scheme of things, that test was just an ashes warm up. Not sure many people really cared about it.

Yeah Aussie cricket supporters didn't care about it until their team won it, it was a meaningless trophy when we won it.

 

[A Pom]

The only crying is coming from your end. Dissecting tactical errors occurs after every lost result.

He's not 'dissecting a tactical error', he's having a whinge about hypothetical outrage around a hypothetical spirit of cricket situation he's made up in his head...

 

[Pocket Terrace]

Broad has played 15 tests in Australia for 1 win.

 

[scottywiper]

Sitting here in rain at Old Trafford. Just waiting for last rites! So good.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

You're having a whinge now because you've lost. Comes across as being a sore loser.

He just keeps digging a deeper hole for himself. It’s so much fun to witness.

Fair play.

I did a stack of dosh. ~$1200

Why are you still here?

How many tests did he play in 2010/11?

It still is a meaningless trophy.

It does kind of seem like England need to find a victory each Test though.

Test 1: "Felt like we won"
Test 2: "Spirit of cricket victory"
Test 3: "Yay! We did win"
Test 4: "Deserved to win. Laws need changing to take weather-affected draws off the table"

It takes a lot to go 2-1 down after 50 odd sessions of cricket. Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and admit you needed to play better cricket.

So you're happy to buy tickets for a test match and see it rain all day with no cricket played? I guess when you support North you take any win you can.

 

[Pocket Terrace]

How many tests did he play in 2010/11?

The first two. Then injured. He’s had 4 tours for 1 test win.

Well I guess the whole point of emotional hedging is that you're happy from one perspective no matter what. Not me, I'd rather embrace pure misery or satisfaction.

 

[Joffaboy]

Of course you would invoke the English spirit of convenience to complain again, that's all you lot do, is whinge and complain.
Test 1 - McCullum, we won that.
Test 2- spirit of whaaaaaa
Test 3 - all good we won
Test 4 - Root, ' play to 10 o'clock, change the rules now because we are inconvenienced.
Brittania waves the rules, A grade sooks.

Ashes remain where they belong, suck it up loser .

There is absolutely no need to get nasty.

Umpire talking to the Captains.

She's all over it looks like.

No no in terms of meaningful victories it was right up there with all of St.Kilda's wins during "the streak".

 

[Plugger35]

To you annoy all of you pathetic Aussie cricket supporters that are celebrating retaining the Ashes due to today being a washout.

Joel Wilson has been talking to Pat Cummins. Expect this to be called off once and for all soon.
