PaulT Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Could not have been better (for those of us on this forum who support England) - retain the Ashes AND humiliate the Aussies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm trying to explain it to the Americans.Closest I've come is to compare it to the Redsox vs the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Do a Google for Australian media - great read.On one there were comments by readers about Clarke - not many Australian people seem to like him.If you are from the UK it is a great feeling, especially compared to the feeling when we used to get absolutely trounced.Think the Barmy Army also deserve a big thank you - they must have lifted the team tremendously.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey, what's going on? We thrash the Aussies in an Ashes series in Australia. And it's Germany not us that's responsible for putting poisonous stuff into the food chain.We can now confidently say it was all the Italian manager's fault for England's poor showing in last year's World Cup.

Renaud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Its because the Aussies come across as such bad winners that this is so great. Well done Strauss, Flowers et al! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneySuckleDreams Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 actually...trawling the tinterweb as I have nothing better to do...most of the ashes jokes are from the last 20yrs of English sh1te. Where you see the word "english" substitute the word "Aussie". http://world-a-team.com/eng-archived-threads-2005-onwards/3059-ashes-jokes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneySuckleDreams Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Calling the toss on boxing day, Andrew Strauss called correctly and, quick as a flash, said to Ricky ''You lads can bat.''Just as quick, Ponting replied: "No, we can't. We really can't." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
