Any chance we could stop arguing about which nation is better and focus on this fantastic bit of fielding? I mean, whether you're English, Australian, South African, Indian, whatever, you have to admit this was a bloody brilliant catch.
@ 28PaulS. A slight difference there genius. The key word in your statement is 'living'. My argument is that you probably wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the great Howard Florey.If your father or grandfather fought in the war, he was likely treated with penicillin. Without it, you don't exist...simple. I believe that every home in FGB should have at least 1 photo of the great Howard Florey to remind them of the great Australian who saved their pathetic excuse for a country from extinction
@Itsaliarromeo Of course Fleming discovered it by mistake, what's your point? He abandoned his research into penicillin as it was yielding limited results and certainly didn't do "most of the work". It was the genius of Florey who did the bulk of the work and LED the team invovled in researching and mass producing it... Chain was a great German scientist. I hope you keep your portrait of Howard Florey clean pommie.
@lims101 Pommie? Since when was I British? Aussie here! And I do agree that he saved millions of lives - but i do think you seem to have been a little hubritic there by suggesting a picture in ever house. A great man like him doesnt need you bringing him down with youre pathetic rants. Youre just lowering everyones image of Australia and Florey. So just calm it down...
@Itsaliarromeo I enjoy taking the piss out of the poms, just like they do of Aussies. I'm a scientist myself and don't need you patronising me and telling me how great a man Florey was.I'll rant however much I like thank you very much.I obviously assumed you were a pom because you said, "dont bother trying to say that we owe your country for penicillin production."Reasonable assumption isn't it?If a few little words on a page is enough to lower ones opinion of a great scientist THAT is pathetic.

The yanks saved the poms from imminent defeat in WWII. No question. By the way pommie's, if any of you had grandfathers who fought and were injuried in WWII, you owe your life to an Australian, Howard Florey. He was responsible for the most important contribution to Medical science in history, the use of penicillin in medical treatment. So whinge all you like, the fact of the matter is a single Aussie scientist saved more lives and had a more profound impact on WWII than the entire British army.
And? He discovered it by accident... The genius is not in the discovery (especially by chance), it's in the application. If Florey didn't have the intellect and creativity to apply the use of penicillin to Medical treatments, millions of people wouldn't have survived disease and infection. Please show your respect to the person who saved FGB (Formerly Great Britian) from utter annihilation in WWII.
I see an old, dried up symbol of ancient glory. A memento to FGB. A reminder to Australians of the country that the great Howard Florey saved from extinction. A decrepit relic that we have long left behind and a stain on our flag that will soon be removed.
Why are there always clouds over England? God wants to cover up his mistakes.
there is a quote "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..."
So just because 1 very clever australian did great scientific work, that makes the whole Australian race superior? lol
well, if we're going by that logic, You australians should thanks Michael Faraday, an english chemist and physict, for his work in the uses of electricity. Otherwise, you australians would still be living in the dark ages...literally.

why because england cheated with half of their wickets. how bout the first one, another andrew strauss 'catch' where the ball clearly bounced before it wen into his hands....so im pretty sure i feel fine, cunt
it wasnt clear. straussy genuinely thought he had caught it. And your an australian talking to me about cheating? dodgy umpires? the underarm delivery? haha hyprocrisy at its finest. and the other dodgy wickets. pontings out caught - plum lbw. freddies no ball - umpire error, mike hussey - umpire error.. but bopara was given out lbw from a shocking decision in cardiff. we outplayed you in every section, even cunty ponting admitted it. grow some balls you inbred australian cunt
You might aswell try and state your opinion on modern politics to a tomato, infact fruit will probably give you some more intelligent responses. What really astounds me is that they sit by pretending nothing's happening while their team cheats for decades, but the moment an umpire makes a mistake against them they start throwing out claims of bribery. The margin of caught/grounded on that catch though was so fine that not even Strauss would have known, not his fault the umpires didn't refer it.
oh yeh, cos u guys were real fucking heroes during the war. if it wasnt for russia and usa, ur thw ones who would have been fucked, so stop acting like a hero cunt
1 word... Spitfire, one of the best fighter planes eve made, and developed by a English engineer at the beggining of world war 2, and were given to most english and american pilots, not to mention the English eagle squdron being some of the best pilots during the war, while Austrailia just watches as the whole world is destroyed.
hitler regarded 1 british unit as 2 american units... the only reason usa stopped germany winning was because of the amount of numbers. Britain is a tiny island yet has achieved as much as any country in the world... test me on taht pleasss! i'd love tom prove it to u cunt
For your information you dumb moron, she's not "your" queen, she's "our queen". You're part of the BRITISH Commonwealth you feeble-minded Aussie fuckwit. You don't wanna be a part of it, fuck off and form a union with New Zealand and Papua New Guinea and all those other bunch of shithole countries made up of the ancestors of BRITISH convicts. And how you can have the cheek to call US inbred! Dude, take a look in the fucking mirror why don't you. I mean, seriously, come on.....
fuck u sheep worrier, wait til u come to england this summer, the ashes are coming home, now be a good boy sheila and throw another shrimp on the barbie and go and get pissed on your shitty xxxx, g'day blue
see the union flag you have on the australian flag, go and kiss it dickboy, we own you and don't you know it, and pom/pommy that is soooo lame, try and think of something more insulting you kiwi wanna be !!!
Firstly, you can't call a catch like that rubbish. The Aussies didn't produce a catch half as good as that throughout the entire series of '05. Secondly, you must like our Queen a bit because you voted to stay in the Commonwealth instead of becoming a Republic or whatever it was. Soo... yeah!
@92GH Actually, the percentage of Australians who are descendent of British convicts is very small. Although, it would account for our superior physical fitter/genetics ect. You see, to survive a voyage by sea in those days you had to be very physically fit. All the while you poms were stuck back home, hunting foxes and inbreeding. But that aside doesn't it pain you now? To be stuck in that absolute shithole of a country while we are living in an island paradise? Enjoy the grey skies.
