and like the England nation football team, we can brag about exiting a tournament without having lost a game....

Not unusual for poms to be scared of Aussies.
3 wash-outs in a row would be mildly amusing though whilst summing up their typical climate.

England v Australia in the ICC Champions TrophyMr Red wrote:Ok what is happening on Saturday in Birmingham?
England have won both their games
Australia have had both their games washed out.
England are already in the semi finals
Australia need to win to make them
If it rains, Australia will be knocked out without even playing a game

Maybe a few Starc bouncers will have a few more batsmen visiting the psycho ward before/during the next ashes visit?

I was laughing at Australia going home without even playing a full game. I would never laugh at someone's mental health.Bomber wrote:You shouldn't make TOO much fun of your batsmen needing psychiatric help.

Straight down the M40 is the best way to Heathrow from Birmingham.

The aussies aren't going home just yet, they're staying on to watch England win the final. They know that to be better, you have to watch the best.

Re: I hope it rains all day in Birmingham on saturday
What's the matter " Ossie Owl " ? Were you in line for a council house & then when they had a good look at you, you were knocked back, so you came out to Oz & have been bitter ever since ? Or did you loose your job to an itinerant Pole, so out to Oz you came, where bitterness has festered ever more ? Let us into your little secret.

Rain affected all 3 games. Yeah, shocking we were - although maybe they should play these tournaments in countries that have occasional sun in the future.

Outplayed by England, in a weak position against NZ and would probably have beaten Bangladesh. Still leaves you on 2 points and relying on run rate to make the semis.
