<Placeholder> for all the moaning and complaining when the aussies win as well as the glorification of your valiant, plucky team when they win the last meaningless test with the series already over.

The amount of times England would win only the last test is pretty staggering, I am sure the Australians just let them win, then the press could go on about "great hope for the future after the last test" stories for 2 years.Originally posted by oracleslave View Post

Less of that.Originally posted by oracleslave View Post
Just so that you know, in January 2005 before the last Ashes series in the UK, I bought two tickets to the fifth day of the fifth test from the Oval website for £10 each (unlike other grounds the Oval sold day 5 tickets in advance, I hadn't entered the ballot for other tickets).
At the start of the series whenever I mentioned this to anyone they just looked at me with a pitiful look, as if to say "You poor deluded fool, there'll be no play that day. Even if there is it will be the humiliating end of another losing Ashes series."
We all know how that turned out.
Not that I am hopeful this time though.

2-2 Aussies to retain the urn.
Bloody colonials.
In the town where I was born, there lived a man who was a thief
And he told me of his life, stealing bread and shagging sheep.
So they put him in the nick, and then a magistrate he went to see
He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony"
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I cannot see England getting more than one win, in fact I cannot see them getting a win.Comment

It depends how much sledging, gamesmanship, aggro, luck, cheating those nasty aussies employ against our poor victims.Originally posted by minestrone View PostComment

It'll have more to do with the fact they don't trust the only specialist spinner in their ranks and are relying on the part time spin of a few others.Originally posted by oracleslave View Post
Stick to rugby OS, you obviously know something about that sport."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
