Aww mate,i mean its not our fault South Africans,New Zealanders,Indians,pakistanis alike always support England in the ashes because no one likes you lot,dont call us gay because of it ;)
@bladesy46 I'm very happy he's proved me and many others wrong. To be fair all he had to do was pitch it up and he's done that so hats off to Broad, showed his class!
what a JOKE english cricket is (no not just cos cricket is gay game or cos of ymca dance) i mean cos its actually a world xi not an england team. Now when england wins something with a team of players who are actually FROM england then that's the time u can maybe get the old cock out and have a good mmm ahh yeah thats better but put it away until then (it'll never happen)
@edlrpussyss well i gotta say im confused cos i dont know much about the cricket (im straight) so had to look on the google at last proud ENGLAND test match team. so anyway we got pietersen SOUTH AFRICA, trott SOUTH AFRICA, prior SOUTH AFRICA, dernbach SOUTH (OH YOU GUESSED IT) AFRICA, morgan IRELAND (cant have people thinking this is south africa team can we), strauss OH SOUTH AFRICA. well thats only half the team who are foreign what the problem?
White south africans in the English team have 100% pure English blood therefore are eligible to play in the england team. Just the same as irelands football team is made up of english people with irish blood.
shame that stupid odi world cup came in after the ashes. the ashes is such a slog no wonder we didn't win it. the boys were tired as hell and deserved a rest. be proud to be english
@leeperryismerry sry, cant agree,indians are the greatest cricket fan in the world,and english are all football,and i am a bigger football fan by the way..and im indian,and yes,indians are the biggest cricket fan in the world.
@leeperryismerry since when singing was the ultimate parameter to decide the popularity of a game in one country?? lets face it,india lives cricket,probably the love for cricket in India is more than even the english love for football..but i love football though!!
@INDIANG19 The fact Is India have over a billion people in their country, but England fans travel in larger numbers, all over the world to watch cricket, which the Indians don't do, a part from those living in the country the team are touring. The same in football and Rugby, England are famous for huge traveling numbers , that follow the national sides. At the end of the day, how do you measure the greatest fans, it's impossible to do so
@REVRAC74 you measured first,NOT me,and indians might not travel hugely but there are huge supporters of the indian cricket team even in UK,the last india vs england match at lords had more indian supporters than english :P
Let me go through the english team 1) Ravi Bopra ( INDIAN ) 2) Ajmal Shehzad ( Pakistani ) 3) EOIN morgan IRELAND 4) MASCARENHAS ZIMBABVE 5) Kevin peiterson South african 6) Owais Shah 7) Andrew Strauss South African 8) Matt Prior South African 9) Jonathan Trott South African I WILL NOt CALL IT ENGLISH TEAM ITS A GLOBAL TEAM LOL :P
NO MATTER HOW MANY AUSSIES WILL BRING UP PAST SERIES ALL THAT MATTERS IS 2010 - 2011 AND .... HE BOWLS TO THE LEFT, HE BOWLS TO THE RIGHT, THAT MITCHEL JOHNSON HIS BOWLING IS SHITE!!! :)
Love it. Come on England. Time to thrash them in the T20's and ODI's. Then we'll beat India next summer to rightfully take our place as the best test team on the planet. Maybe..............
And to all the Aussie's banging on about foreigners in the team, better not forget where your ancestors were living a little while ago. Before they got caught. Pretty much makes you England B. Or perhaps HMP Australia 1st XI. I hear Broadmoor are looking for a game?
@marmitehighway although the Ashes are so much more important than the ODI's and T20's, at least we half-restored our respect by winning them... half at maximum.
@marmitehighway haha u might have won the ashes but liz hurley likes the taste of a warnie burger ,and the warnie mcnuggets ,and she doesnt have go threw the drive threw to get itu know wat im sayn, like things couldnt get worse than warnie desecrating your english rose,use must feel we won 4 wcups,
but apparently liz says he bowls a very good 'googley'
@edlrpussyss sadly old chum, I can only understand one word in every three of your post. I assume you were mocking those ghastly tasteless Shane Warne MacDonalds adverts that appeared at every ground this winter. got to get him on the pitch somehow I suppose.
As to the Liz Hurley saga, she's not involved in any illicit activities with Shane. They are cell mates. She was caught trying to rustle chickens and as such was sent to the Prison colony.
@marmitehighway u know how u said warnie and liz hurley r 'cell mates' is that some sort of erotic role playing game like prison 'cell' they play like she's being 'disciplined' warnie's get the fluffy handcuffs out,i wonder if she wears that cat woman outfit (go warnie get some) haha, oh though i love a nice english rose i wonder if warnie will get his hands on that nigella lawson i always hava na na na ana batman when i see her
@edlrpussyss My friend. You need to get laid. Go on, off you go, find a badger, empty your balls. The world will seem a lot more normal when you can get this weird older (and in one instance dead) English women fantasy out of your brain. Or just throw a BBQ (We don't have them in Britain - Only chinese restaurants and Moon pie kiosks), invite Diana, Liz Hurley, Shane Warne, nasser, Dame Judy Dench, Margeret Thatcher, Ian Botham and whoever else you can find on Wiki, turn it Bunga Bunga and post!
@marmitehighway how u gonna invite diana??? mate if she's there, im definitely coming i gotta see that, i do know wat u mean though ,
its really just a fantasy becoz its very rare that english women have all their teeth left like liz & nigella,
and i dont agree with those who say that 'nothing says your a hommelsexual like listen to paramore' thats bullshit that saying ,i listen to the romantic lyrics whilst watching twlight ,u know gets me all tingly n fuzzy
@edlrpussyss Aw bless. You've been looking at my account. Need a fwend as well as a badger to poke? Teenage years are so hard, aren't they? All spotty and braces, sat on your own staring constantly at the internet in the vain hope that someone other than a sweaty obese paedo might respond to your lonely cries for companionship. And if you like listening to American bands whilst fiddling with your banjo watching vampires then good for you. No real need to share though. Now, back to the cricket..
@marmitehighway nah didnt think so,looks like uve hit the wall aye run dry ????shame i thought i had a challenge,ooh well ,there's only south park jokes your got to go off ,
bad luck better luck next time matey,just one more question ,do u light a whole bunch of candles and close the curtains before u throw on some of your favorite sound tracks??? get ya in the mood u know
@marmitehighway i mean u listen to some very feminine touchy feely music ,dont u ?? but i cool wit that ,nutn wrong with wat u do in your private life ,your in touch with your sexuality ,look at liz hurley likes it the wrong way ,and if your in to that just make sure its safe ,u cant be to careful these days especially in britain ,its rampant over there hosting their own chat shows n all
@marmitehighway oh look everybody its al murray. fat english al murray in his english pub with his english beer watching his english cricket team (from africa). what u on about convict ancestors? are u a bit "spesshel" al? only a hundred thousand or so convicts v millions of free brits who emigrated. work it out al.
u seriously telling me u take pride from a team packed with foreigners (half the team in last test) pulling on england shirts so england can finally win cricket matches? watta joke
@imnotapaedo Calm down Fosters!! Or I'll have the warden's stick you in solitary. Seriously though, if it wasn't for Chris Lilley we'd have nuked Australia years ago. Be grateful you're good buddy Al hasn't pushed the big red button. Just can't get enough of Summer Heights High.
@marmitehighway oh al (u dipshit) I'm english so u missed with the old aussie jokes there(they r old aren't they al). Anyway what really surprised me was the way u just let me take u apart in an argument like that. Kinda like there's no fight in ya. As an englishman u should be too ashamed, like me, to celebrate winning unless we can actually do it with a team of english players (pretty simple concept really al it's called a hollow victory)
@marmitehighway and btw do u actually have bbq's in britain ??? wouldnt of thought the weather over there would suit ????
and just wondering with you being crickets version of millhouse,
do u remember an english cricket captain called 'nasser hussien' i know its touchy but was he the same guy that was dating diana???he burning the candle at both ends wasnt he!!!! know wonder he was dropped as captain
@marmitehighway u know how your cricket will need energy for training and wot not do u think Peterson's mum will cook up some traditional south African berewors ,but don't let Liz Hurley near em, she loves the sauage (just ask warnie) imagine Liz on all fours and warnie's like HOWZZAT .....GOTHIM ,and Chris lilley come on that show is garbage blatant rip off of the office by the Frenchman ricky gervais
@edlrpussyss I think Ricky Gervais is French Canadian. Otherwise, cheers for the tip on Liz Hurley. Will avoid her at BBQ's. Now take your pill and strap yourself into bed. Good chap.
Can't believe the negative commnets here. This was a joyous victory. Celebrated joyously with a silly dance. Try imagining any of those arch triumphalists such as Hayden and Langer doing this. Sense of humour - nil. Sportsmanship - zip. Oh and by the way we sing in defeat too. New stereotype - whinging Aussie.
@BBIIDDOOLL The Aussies were of course scouting the Bangladesh B side at the time. Sudden convertsd to pluralism as their one great success being a Pakistani who very nearly managed to average 30. Everyone agrees on the basis of that result he is the future of Australian cricket.
@maxlogica Just another self-hating and hypocritical expat. As a Pom in Oz no child of yours born there can choose to play for England and no child you took there can choose to play for Australia. Try thinking it through illogica.
Even though we as England WON the ashes. The celebratory dance let us down/ They look like wounded seals laying on ur backs flapping around trying to roll over unsuccessfully. Thanks for making England look retarded. Why not just punch the cutest Koala you can find in the face next time and make us seem like twats as well?
I love the game and am an extremely proud pom... for years we have been the underdog and the butt of cruel aussies jokes and jibes... well guess what fellas... shoe is on other foot... now suck it up... you never hear us carrying on in this manner...deal with it :)
its very nice that English team wins the ashes and stuborn and racist Aussies lost badly . im Pakistani i like English team because they are great guys and respectful to others and so English peoples.
I havent heard a single Aussie whinge about this debacle....all have put their hands and heads up and are already thinking and planning for 2013....stark contrast to the gloating English and their stomach churning band of glory seekers jumping on the ashes bandwagon...
@maxlogica The English cheat by playing South African born players is of course the ultimate whinge. Just because you share it doesn't make it right. It would be hard to describe the headless chicken panic and let's all blame someone else in Australian circles as planning either. The point is of curse is that the English team did make plans and didn't rely on arrogance. Check out those adverts the Aussie players made. England aren't great, the Australians are simply pitiful. Hubris.
@maxlogica Give it a rest, there was more Aussie gloating and bandwagon jumpers in 2006/7 than you lot knew what to do with. In fact, you lot still are living off the back of it, how many times did it get brought up before this years Ashes, as if it had any meaning to this current Oz side. You want to jump off your high horse, because it's quite a fall, just like your teams finding out.
Now that Paul Collingwood has retired from Test Cricket, I hear that Jacques Kallis may be out of contract with South Africa. Good news for the English team. At least half of them will be able to understand his accent.
@BBIIDDOOLL Ah. Sense at last. You've spotted that the English cricket team has an open and multicultural policy to selection stretching back 80 years to Ranji. This naturally reflects the nature of our society. All Australia has to show is that charming man Kepler Wessels and now Khawaja. Give it 80 years and the unpleasant and arrogant blokes of the Australian side may be replaced with a team that reflects what is no doubt quite a pleasant country outside the cricket field.
@BBIIDDOOLL The alternative suggestion is that you try raiding Bangadesh for Shakib, Tamim, Mortaza and Rafique. That might strengthen you enough to make you competitive against some of the lesser nations.
Yeah it's only a game and the Aussies are just inviting more piss taking with the way some of them are acting lol. It's abit like an angry child who didn't get what he wanted for Xmas, throwing his teddy bear in the corner :0
@29Gixxer I'm English...haven't seen a single Aussie acting in anything other than a congratulatory manner towards England...they have all said well done etc .
You seem incredibly foolish and quite childlike with such brainless observations...
Who you trying to kid buddy lol. Just look at all the threads. You maybe correct in that the users acting like nobs aren't Ozzies tho. What you say about the foriegn talent is kind of true although as tjoz72 has just stated...the majority of the team is in fact English born and bred.
@29Gixxer I couldn't understand a word of that incoherent nonsense...learn how to spell then trying communicating again..this time in the English language you imbecile.
If you cannot read my English then I recommend you go back to school. When people cannot sustain a debate they usually bang on about typo's :)
I bet you are one of these guys who uses a thesaurus /spell checks all his comments before posting lolz. If you are unable to talk about the topic at hand then please refrain from making any more comments...
One last thing. We were just lucky anyway as the Ozzy team is not what it once was. We beat a poor team and I expect a come back from them, probably with another ass whooping in the future for us....
Lucky? What tosh and a typically downbeat English-of-old thing to say! No luck about it, the English were fantastic and would have nailed the golden era squad (warne, waugh, that mcgrath fella) playing in such as fashion. It's not so much them being a crap squad as our betterment. If you want to talk about luck, it's lucky (for the aussies) they didn't lose 4-0.
@nuntana2 Nah. That was a pretty ordinary batting line up. No stronger than any we have sent in the last 20 years. The truth is Australia fielded the worst bowling attack in Ashes history - on either side. The good news is that their system has disintegrated and there's no one coming through. Expect Australia to do a West Indies and disappear for 20 years - the infighting has already started.
I dont care how much the Aussies have won and how rubbish we have been in the past, or for that matter, who may be better that us at the moment - bottom line is we thrashed you in this latest series and thats all that matters!!
i beleive this is the 3rd time it has happened. Not a bad effort. But considering the position of Aussie cricket you should have won ALL tests by an innings. Both India and Sth Africa would have,and you guys are not in their League by any stretch.Enjoy being NO 3 or best NO 2 in the world for a year or two. NEVER NO1. Back to the nets boys!
@BBIIDDOOLL new zealand will be overtaking you boys soon enough. enjoy being number 6 or at best number 5. to lose by an innings in 3 tests on home soil has to hurt so i can understand the rubbish you mugs are coming out with. bangladesh have you in their sights....AGAIN!
@SanctumStudios dingo. ate. my. baby. you got beaten by a bunch of bad teeth smelly islanders. wow, that must hurt your delicate aussie pride.
we know it. your team knows it. your golden era (Warne and the likes) knows it. everyone knows it. except for the you and the rest of the fans. face it. test cricket is dead for you boys. you wont win it here on the 'grey island' for a long time to come and now that home soil isnt an advantage get use to all the 'poms' opinions being voiced. good day
@lloydchristmas83 well if history is anything to go by you might not wanna get too cocky. You make such a big deal out of a few match win but us we tend to dominate for 2 decades at a time etc.. Im pretty sure that we have come to your crappy island and whipped you at your own game enough to always have a good chance. Besides, it aint like your south african B team is going to be the next force in world cricket haha maybe you'll get to be 4th best for a while.. wow thats amazing.
@SanctumStudios ha ha brilliant. history is just that chief. history. not a question of being cocky. we're english and enjoy a victory. no more so than over a bunch of bitter aussies.
@SanctumStudios History doesn't help much. No side has EVER lost 3 tests by an innings at home before. At least 4 of the Bangladeshi side would get into the Australian team and so I can see how you might consider it amazing for your side to make the top 4 in the world. Ain't gonna happen soon.
dominiccole2000. When you clowns sit at the "top of the tree" for as long as the Aussies did , please feel free to pass a comment of any relevance. Unlike your previous rubbish... Oh no I can feel a convict comment coming on.
Not a sore loser. Aussie cricket is SO bad at present that England should have won 5 zip. But they didnt. If i were a Pom- thankfully I"m not because I wash- I wouldnt be getting carried away.
If you are from NZ i dont think you should be commenting on anything cricket.. woops sorry, what I meant to say was that I dont think you should be commenting on ANYTHING
@DaniNZ english hypocrocy at its best. the barmy army and its so called 'banter' has spawned from, and is the epitome, of not having dignity in defeat : ) you can't possibly play against australia without all your convict crap, you cant possibly play against germany without your german bomber crap.. the list goes on and on and yet you accuse your opposition of not having any dignity and being bad sports..
if the english cricket side is SO great , please expain how they lost in Perth. And if the Aussies are that BAD why did you not win 5- 0 like a true great side would have. Punters!
@ninjathunderbolt we've been too busy over the last hundred years teaching you soap dodgers.. and finally your teams not a total embarrassment.. finally.
@SanctumStudios I'm sorry who wants us to shut up? Cos all i saw today were England fans in the stadium. What happened to all the aussies. Sick of watching their beloved team getting pummelled.
EASY EASY EASY. RULE BRITANNIA BRITANNIA RULES THE WAAAVES
@MasterBlasterMufc its Friday so I guess they were at work.. britannia rules the what??? hahahahahahahaha britannia rules when it comes to drowning at bondi beach.. I think you need to change the words, brittannia and waves just don't go together, unless its comedy.
@SanctumStudios Haha yeah "at work" good one. "Britannia rules the waves" refers to a time when Britain had the best fleet of ships in the world so get your facts straight. Don't forgot that we owned all of you convicts and NEVER EVER forget that the union jack is on your flag. I'll leave with a song;
GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS QUEEN, LOOONG LIVE OUR NOBLE QUEEN......
@MasterBlasterMufc are you saying there was a time when britain had the best something in the world?? I doubt that. You need to get out of the dark ages and understand how funny it is for aussies to hear britain and waves in the same sentence.
You own? since we left your grey little island we've owned you at everything. In fact we only leave the union jack on our flag so you can have some affiliation with greatness.
Explain the point of the royal family? and where James Hewitts kid fits in.
If you take out the SOUTH AFRICAN players, the ZIMBABWEAN head coach , PAKISTANI bowling coach and god knows what other foreign nationals that are associated with the side there isnt much of an ENGLAND team left!!!!
@maxlogica where was kawaja born??????? er i think you'll find the answer is Pakistan so before you embarrass yourself by posting another moronic comment better check your facts
@maxlogica so true, also they will always be shit and winning a tournament every 20 years against a poor team wont change it Im afraid.. still we should let the pale skins enjoy there time in the sun, after all its very rare for them. Winning is part of our culture and we take it for granted but for them its like winning the lottery.
@maxlogica Out of those "South African" players, all of them has one English parent. Trott has an English father, Pietersen an English mother. Prior and Strauss are the same and, apart from spending their early years in South Africa, would always class themselves as English and speak with English accents. Let's not pretend they had no prior familial link to England eh? The only player in the squad with no English parentage is Eoin Morgan.

@edlrpussyss My friend. You need to get laid. Go on, off you go, find a badger, empty your balls. The world will seem a lot more normal when you can get this weird older (and in one instance dead) English women fantasy out of your brain. Or just throw a BBQ (We don't have them in Britain - Only chinese restaurants and Moon pie kiosks), invite Diana, Liz Hurley, Shane Warne, nasser, Dame Judy Dench, Margeret Thatcher, Ian Botham and whoever else you can find on Wiki, turn it Bunga Bunga and post!

@marmitehighway how u gonna invite diana??? mate if she's there, im definitely coming i gotta see that, i do know wat u mean though ,
its really just a fantasy becoz its very rare that english women have all their teeth left like liz & nigella,
and i dont agree with those who say that 'nothing says your a hommelsexual like listen to paramore' thats bullshit that saying ,i listen to the romantic lyrics whilst watching twlight ,u know gets me all tingly n fuzzy

All spotty and braces, sat on your own staring constantly at the internet in the vain hope that someone other than a sweaty obese paedo might respond to your lonely cries for companionship. And if you like listening to American bands whilst fiddling with your banjo watching vampires then good for you. No real need to share though. Now, back to the cricket..

@maxlogica The English cheat by playing South African born players is of course the ultimate whinge. Just because you share it doesn't make it right. It would be hard to describe the headless chicken panic and let's all blame someone else in Australian circles as planning either. The point is of curse is that the English team did make plans and didn't rely on arrogance. Check out those adverts the Aussie players made. England aren't great, the Australians are simply pitiful. Hubris.

@BBIIDDOOLL Ah. Sense at last. You've spotted that the English cricket team has an open and multicultural policy to selection stretching back 80 years to Ranji. This naturally reflects the nature of our society. All Australia has to show is that charming man Kepler Wessels and now Khawaja. Give it 80 years and the unpleasant and arrogant blokes of the Australian side may be replaced with a team that reflects what is no doubt quite a pleasant country outside the cricket field.

It's not so much them being a crap squad as our betterment. If you want to talk about luck, it's lucky (for the aussies) they didn't lose 4-0.

@nuntana2 Nah. That was a pretty ordinary batting line up. No stronger than any we have sent in the last 20 years. The truth is Australia fielded the worst bowling attack in Ashes history - on either side. The good news is that their system has disintegrated and there's no one coming through. Expect Australia to do a West Indies and disappear for 20 years - the infighting has already started.

@maxlogica Out of those "South African" players, all of them has one English parent. Trott has an English father, Pietersen an English mother. Prior and Strauss are the same and, apart from spending their early years in South Africa, would always class themselves as English and speak with English accents. Let's not pretend they had no prior familial link to England eh? The only player in the squad with no English parentage is Eoin Morgan.
