HE SAID ENGLAND WILL WIN THE ASHES 5=0
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 10 November 2008 00:15 (seventeen years ago)
oops caps
and 5-0
God he's a berk. Like Sophia Gardens is a results pitch (if anyone other than the woeful Glamorgan is playing). Like either side is remotely capable of taking twenty at the Oval unless Monty develops something approaching variation; an arm ball, at least, would be nice. I'd incline to 1-1, maybe 2-1 England, myself, but the bat will dominate. Is it Lords, Sophia Gardens, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Oval? I know Old Trafford lost its spot (which is a spectacular case of the ECB shooting itself in the foot, given that that's the one strip that Harmison always looks the most terrifying bowler in the world on) the omission of Headingley is also less than bright in terms of actually wanting england to win games.
So England to win at Trent Bridge thanks to Jimmy Anderson, Aus at Lords thanks to Clark and Johnson, High scoring draws in Cardiff and at the Oval, so it's all down to Edgbaston. And Botham's a pillock.

That makes sense. I will try to make my own prediction once I see how "the lads" fare in their titanic 2-Test clash with tonight's Border-Gavaskar champions.

such ineptness yesterday. we had india 6 for 160-something and then took the foot off the throat because of the slow over rate. i reckon cricket aus bigwigs might've made ponting's decision for him, in which case they should resign if they want to put sponsors ahead of saving a series; but surely bowling watson off a short run would've been better than mr cricket's harmless trundling, clarke, white etc.

levelling the india series wouuld be worth ponting missing all the games vs the kiwis, imo.

SACK PONTING
He's already lower than Mark Taylor levels. Fuck, he's almost at Kim Hughes levels.

Weird how Peter Siddle didn't get another Test. I think he has something.
― restraint and blindness (Just got offed), Monday, 10 November 2008 12:15 (seventeen years ago)
And are you talking about Mark Cosgrove?
― restraint and blindness (Just got offed), Monday, 10 November 2008 12:16 (seventeen years ago)
No, I'm saying bring Darren Lehmann out of retirement (this was the sports policy of a minor Australian political party).
― Germany's second-favourite Australian fat leg spin bowler (King Boy Pato), Monday, 10 November 2008 12:29 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah I know, but there's a new baby BOOF out there nowadays, a maverick who can't tidy his room. I think he's exactly what you need.
― restraint and blindness (Just got offed), Monday, 10 November 2008 12:30 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah but I don't think Mark Cosgrove will ever come to terms with being a drinking, smoking, gambling fat bastard like Boof did.
