Yes it's 1-0 with 4 to play. Don't throw a shrimp on the barbie yet

Mr.R

Yes it's 1-0 to the hosts but IIRC?
We kicked your sorry arses this summer in the Mother country.
Have to admit though that I'm slightly miffed that our gallant lads aren't finishing you lot of sad colonials off for good from the start of this series.
Lets face it what decent person wouldn't be miffed by a bunch of sheep stealing, bread thieving descendants beating the finest this sceptered isle can send over.

Where's the spirit of Douglas Jardine when you need him?

😁 yes well it appears the finest are a bunch of panty wearing girly squats on the blob. Going home because of stress, what the hell is that about. Ooooo big scary Australians, no just to much sunshine too handle and no snot rag to put on his head. 😄

Got helmets now, pegging balls at somebodies head ain't going to cut it.

That first game was bl*dy embarrassing - I can't say anymore.

The funny thing was Boycotts comment of "We haven't batted yet, so don't get yours hopes up" that was spot on.

Mr.R

Spot on Boycs...

I was waiting for that Inda.😱

His explanation (like the initial comment) was delivered with such wit and repartee, that anything i say will be akin to me someone attempting to scale Mont Blanc in December in flip flops, cant compete with such clarity of mind and use of the English language.

I really cant be bothered to get drawn into any kind of discussion/debate with people who use language like that, heard it all before (turned 48 on Friday) and still it continues. Just that if you ever said that to my face joking or not you would be begging for yr mummy before you even finished your sentence.

End of discussion..........i just noticed yr a forum moderator, o dear.

SO you would belt a bloke for saying the word pakie, aussie, pom, jap, yank etc?

griff851

It's ok I get the point. Just the usual, but think about next time you use the term Aussie. And like mentioned it's all just some fun. No malus intended.

As for the cricket, what a whooping. Can't wait for the next match. Apparently our guys reckon your guys are going to start playng for real come Boxing Day. Anyone what to lay down some cash on that happening? 😄 T'is the season to be jolly. Fala lah la la lah. 😄
Come on we've been crap at everything for ages. Share the joy.

Done deal. Run around house with t shirt over my head. Not really.

It was once said by a cricket nazi I knew. " Nothing else in life or on the planet matters, as long as the poms loose at cricket" 😄 he would be happy today. A shrilanken.

Griff, you insensitive Aussie, colonial skip bastard.
Cheers

Thanks Rob, a merry Christmas to you and my Welsh, English, Maori, Jew, Norwegian relatives. Can't top Albanian. 😄
