Damn the Australian weather grrrr

Decies, i got odds of 12-1 2 weeks before the start of th ashes. I was expecting better odds that that tbh, but that seemed the standard rate across most bookies at the time.

Australia's dominance of world cricket looks to be over at the end of this Ashes campaign.
With the retirement of Damien Martyn,Shane Warne,Glenn McGrath and now Justin Langer.
You would of thought that they would of had crickets best interests at heart than all to retire in the one year.Certainly they owe cricket for everything they have got out of the sport .
And Cricket Australia should of been doing everything possible to avoid this happening ,after what happened to the Australian cricket team when those other legends retired (Rod Marsh,Greg Chappell and Dennis Lillee).It took a lot of years to get back to the top .
Cricket Australia tapped Steve and Mark Waugh on the shoulder and pushed them into early retirement ,maybe they should of started to do that last year with some players .
Oh well i guess they have there reasons for leaving the game ,BUT they should of thought of the repercussions.

Just when you think things can't get any worse, Hoggard gets injured.

Luckily for us it's raining.

I see the life has gone out of this thread but hardly surprising given the 4-0.

England 9 innings with 6 batting collapses - not good.

Lets see if Mr Cricket and Roy can finish them off tonight.

Warne on 54 in his last test. Can Clark and McGrath last long enough for him to make 100?

Edit: I should have asked could Warne last long enough.

I think Aus just wanted it more.

England played well but Aus were too hungry.

Rubbish.
England were pathetic. It didn't matter how much either team wanted it - Australia was in a completely different league.

Fine then, i think we should make England do 5 laps of the pool table with their pants down for losing 5 - 0.
