Hot tip for GIAE - Just quietly bow out of these discussions to avoid further embarrassment, know when you are beaten and stop nit picking and wasting your life on an internet forum arguing and get out there and live a life.

100% Need new #3 & 6 that will step up and I would be much more confident.Bomber wrote:OK, all cabernet aside its clear we are ahead of England, also in the rankings etc etc.
Anyone else think that we are still likely to get a pasting from the Saffers? I am still not convinced about our top order and think they were made to look ok only due to lack of bite from England. Cant rely on Haddin saving us all the time. Might be one of those series where the ball dominates, unless the pitches are roads.

The amount of Barossa Pearl that gets said about people playing their "natural games"... Warner succeeds when he doesn't. When he's not a cocky twat, puts away his extrovert shots and bats simply... he gets his eye in, gets the feel of the pitch and then easily scores quickly enough for a Test match.
The worst sight yesterday was Warner being happy, because we're all going to have to put up with him being a tool for a year until he gets slapped again. Maybe someone should keep Joe Root in Sydney, by the time South Africa comes around he'll have got his head in.

I think he meant the next ashes series.
I'm sorry do you have a point or is this just another attempt to take to thread off topic?

No I will just remind you of what I was told after our wins in 2005 and 2009. Win away from home and it matters until then, we've both a home series.

Re: The ashes in Australia 2013-14
So you agreed with Aussie people then? Even then, finished 5-3. Then dissect each game and how far Australia is in front. That'll do me, plus the trophy in the cabinet.God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:Excellent, we can rib you for at least another 18 months or so then!God is an Englishman wrote:June 2015 in England, starts in Durham I think.

How far you're in front? 5-3 is not that much really. You have played your pitches better, we played ours. SIMPLE!Bomber wrote:So you agreed with Aussie people then? Even then, finished 5-3. Then dissect each game and how far Australia is in front. That'll do me, plus the trophy in the cabinet.

Re: The ashes in Australia 2013-14
Dissect each test. Yours were "close" wins, ours were thrashes. Makes the 5-3 look bigger.God is an Englishman wrote:How far you're in front? 5-3 is not that much really.

Anyway, we are the 5 and you are the 3. We STILL win and are higher in the rankings. That's plenty and enough for me!

Someone look up whether this 32-31 scoreline represents just ashes series or all Australia v England series?
