The Cricket Thread

How seriously pathetic are you. The only thing Lillee and Thompo did was bowl very fast and scary you poor little sais witless. They bowled boucers. So what. Boucers had been bowled even before the 1930's and bodyline. Bowling bouncers is fine. Stacking the leg side and just bowling short at the batsman...that's something different altogether.

Trevor did bowl underarm. Not really his fault. The blame lies with his brother whose actions were rightly condemned throughout Australia. Unlike you though i accept that Trevor bolwing underarm (whilst withint he laws of the game) was not within the spirit and was an appalling act. You however always defend the indefensible as you cant accept that your lillywhites could ever do anything wrong.

And finally, Warne and Waugh didn't take any bribes. The cambridge online dictionary defines are bribe as...
"to try to make someone do something for you by giving them money, presents or something else that they want"

All Warne and Waugh did was provide information about the weather and the state of the pitch. Information that was hardly secret and could have been obtained from a whole host of different people.

Still, i'm not suprised that you dont even know what a bribe is.

What else you got?

ps - the last Ashes series is history and so if you are wanting to talk about history maybe we could discuss our 5-0 series win over you the previous time you visited. Yep, 5-0. What a lovely summer that was. Or we could go back to the days of Armstrong and discuss another 5-0 whipping we handed out to your mob. Or there is the small matter of losing 14 of 15 tests tot he windies including 2 successive 5-0 scorelines.

Funny how cocky you are now...wonder where that cocky arrogance was btw 1989-2005...

@shadowen Said

You poms have been coming to Australia as you cant get work in your own country. So you come here, we give you jobs and opportunities and all you do in return is whinge...whinge but never leave...like larwood and tony greig. Funny that.

You've got him rattled Jennifer. He can't win an argument with a girl and it really grates. (stir stir stir------ heh heh heh)

I like Australia. Its a great place to dump all the rejects we don't want. As for the empire, well, we may have been a load of c***s, but we ruled you. And you had your uses too. The amount of Turkish ammunition that your lot diverted away from the British at Gallipoli. Cheers lads.

Aussies----- Great blokes.

@DiamondGeezer Said

Tony Grieg's a South African. A bit like Kepler Wessels.

@shadowen Said

anyway....maybe there can be one huge year when Alba and Cymru are freed from english rule, when Eire is united and when we sever all ties with blighty.

@shadowen Said

"Who the hell calls Scotland 'Alba' anyway?"

The Scots do. It's the name of their bloody country. Seriously, wtf...

@jmo Said

No it isn't, no they don't.

Scotland is called Scotland.

@shadowen Said

Rattled? Because i know the definition of bribery and she doesnt?

As for the war reference. That is a pathetic, weak comment you english c*nt. We volunteered to come to the aid of your f*cking country in two world wars. In the critical periods of the German offensive in 1918 we held over a third of the entire british line. Talk about sport all you want but dont you dare talk about the war and all of our fine lads we lost defending you pricks and at the hands of your f*cking inept leaders.

@shadowen Said

Are you for f^cking real?

Alba IS the Gaelic name for Scotland

@jmo Said

No it isn't, no they don't.

Scotland is called Scotland.

@jmo Said


Who the hell calls Scotland 'Alba' anyway?

@jmo Said

The Gaelic name, not the English name and English is the language of Scotland (not Alba).
