WTF

you have only 10 red faces but there is 11 in the team.?

See the colour of the pitch? I went to a one day match with a green pitch like that, it was a complete waste of money.

Betting scandal on the way

Great day to be a pom

Now the clouds have cleared, the humidity will drop, and the Aussie bowlers won't get the same swing.

No - I think he is called EXTRAS

Thats 11 for you Sandfoot

I bet Watto is secretly smiling now the heats off him for a while. He might even get another game at this rate. Voges and clarke simply have to go. The marsh boy's aren't that much chop either. Disgraceful.

I liked this " the first ashes test innings ball by ball summary to fit into a single tweet"

Bring back Warnie.

Broad should be knighted , what a disgraceful day for the Aussies.

Check out buy n sell I've a cricket bat for sale, brand new in the box with instructions

That what happens when you don't complete your homework!!

Cricket just got exciting for once

Apparently it was all due to a spelling error....

That's because the last man standing can't be bowled out.
Had that been possible then I'm pretty sure there would be 11 red faces.


The funny part was,, I started watching the game just before tea time and thought I shouldn't get sucked into it because I didn't have time to watch a long game.
By the time i had eaten it and tidied up, it was all over.
I have never had that before; not even in one day games.
Unbelievable

The whole game was a bit like watching the highlights of a game after it had all finished.

Stuart Broad,.. bowled 8 out for a total of 15 runs!! Has that ever happened before?

I am beginning to think there might be something to Macpweet33's chem-trails proposition.
They kept the Pommie team under cover the previous day and gave the Aussies a good spray.
What else could it be???
They all just filed in one after the other and played the same game. Out for a duck!

so i assume england won the toss and sent aussies into bat, knowing the conditions?

^^ Yes they did, but....ahem...they didn't seem to have too much trouble batting when it was their turn, on the first morning

Maybe we can bat for a third innings, but that would only add to the pain of defeat.



And I think Clack should have declared the innings at the fall of our second wicket and got the poms in on the green top.

Even Adam Goodes would have booed them

That is good. Now I can go to bed earlier, ready for a good windsurfing session, if wind does arrive

In cricket, commentators kept bringing up craps about "records" and stuff. Now here is one for them to talk about.

I was about to ask if a section of the crowd, say 1000 ppl, all aboriginal, booed them would it be racist or just cos they were being ****!?
