england's ashes misery...

jamesie · 12-05-2006, 04:52 PM

i just dont get it! there was a saying i heard

"england always seem to be able to grap defeat out of the jaws of defeat"

how true this seems to be. With an amazing first day in the second test, they went and got bowled out for little over 100 in their second innings, leaving austrailia to get only about 200 runs, which they did easily.! why dont england stick to their great starts! i reckon the ashes belong to the aussies once more- and for the next 20 years!

Twas a shocker. Although to be frank Warne was unstoppable. If you can Bowl KP round his legs thats some achievement.

This defeat was worse than the first test thrashing as England were in such a strong position at one point ,I saw Chris Cowdrey ridiculing Ponting for suggesting Australia could still win at the end of day 2 , but then no team had ever lost a test match after declaring on such a high first innings total .
Can't see anything other than a 5-0 whitewash now.

i know next to nothing about cricket but i knew this was coming. Sky have done well to hype the Ashes but even us ignorant Jocks along with the rest of the cricketing world outside of England knew there would be one winner. How many times have England won the ashes in the last 20 years? they should just give 'em to the Aussies.
Jeez it's really difficult to resist gloating. rrrr

Stiles · 12-06-2006, 03:35 PM

To be honest alot of English fans knew this was coming. No Vaughan, Trescothick, Freddy not entirely fit, Simon Jones out.

Never really going to happen was it.

Wanderers249 · 12-06-2006, 05:50 PM

i THINK australia are a very good cricket team and there batters outplayed us. Thats how i think the Aussies are a better cricket team than england ( as much as i hate 2 say that)

goldenHuddlestone · 01-05-2007, 07:06 PM

So all over now what we thinking

Matt the Thrasher · 01-05-2007, 07:36 PM

I think Australia were always going to win but the manner of the defeat was shameful.

Stiles · 01-05-2007, 08:56 PM

Yeah Adelaide was terrible to have a centurian and double centrion in one innings, but still go on to lose that test match is appauling.

jashawk · 01-06-2007, 05:28 PM

Isnt It Mad That We Invent These Sports, Yet We Cant Even Hold Our Own In The Game These Days, Whether It Be Footy, Cricket Or Rugby.

Maybe We Should Take Them On At Their Own Sports? A Uk Baseball Team Winning The World Series? Some Scottish Mountain Rescue Guy Winning The Ski-ing World Cup? A Welsh Sheep Farmer Winning The Tour De France? Who Knows?!?!

Its About Time The National Teams (regardless Of Sport), Showed Some Frickin Pride!!

goldenHuddlestone · 01-06-2007, 10:35 PM

What about the newss that Michael Vaughan's regaining the captaincy

Matt the Thrasher · 01-07-2007, 05:50 PM

Englands one day side is appauling at the best of times so don't expect too much but Vaughan can make a huge difference to the test team if he can stay fit.

Stiles · 01-07-2007, 06:28 PM

Yeah if we can half the one day series it will be a good result. The Aussies are already preparing for the World Cup. McGrath is sticking around just for these one day events. So you know he isnt going to lack passion for these.

I still feel like we have no idea how to get Ponting either out or restrict his style of play. He is arguebly the best batsman in the world at the moment. He is one of those rare players that make a good transistion from Test Match cricket to One day cricket.

Brett Lee has looked sharp in the one day series but you look at his averages in the Ashes this year he was their most expenisve bowler. He is someone i think a guy like KP or Flintoff or Vaughan or Collingwood will have to attack. If a batsman can get hold of him then we can get a couple of runs.

goldenHuddlestone · 01-11-2007, 10:39 PM

It doesnt look like any changes will happen now ill after the WC

sdrawrof · 01-12-2007, 04:35 AM

Its not like you are bad, its just that australia is so good, but its not even that your good and you underplayed, you just overestimated yourself. This is a trend I see alot throughout all sports really is that England say they are so good, yet they never live up to it. If your always hyped up you will always be under pressure to preform to expectations it will only make it harder.

goldenHuddlestone · 01-13-2007, 11:27 AM

and know with KP out we have no chance

joe coops · 01-15-2007, 08:02 PM

wot an awful display by England dey didnt even try!

goldenHuddlestone · 01-16-2007, 09:09 PM
