Ashes 2023

Yes, carrying the trophies all the way back home is a bit of a burden.

[God is an Englishman]

Lots of aussie whingeing today.

Ohh we don't like the ball the umpires chose.

Well, usually you do have to wait 80 overs before getting a new ball.

Strange how the aussies didn't seem to care when Cummins got the ball changed though.

Toooooo easy.

Ashes trophy ours (still) & World Test Champions!

If that was just a wind up then well played. Hard to tell the difference between an aussie wind up whinge and the standard whinge this series.

Only one, we're double world champions.

There has been far more whingeing from the home side this series. Nice to see your lot celebrate "the way they played" whilst winning is actually secondary in their mindset.
Wanna beer?
Not now.
Maybe later......

So is it wrong to say "maybe later"?

[God is an Englishman]

Having an Aussie parent automatically makes you Australian. Being born in Australia doesn't automatically make you Australian.

cooper wrong AGAIN.

Just the usual cause you say so it seems. Predictable

In this case he's correct.

Seems to struggle to prove it though it.

Keep digging Del

No, did I say it was? That said, I'd be keen on a few soon as possible.

Oh and not even close.

We've had
The pitches
The ball
The crowd
The sun
The umpires
The opposition
The crowd again
The umpires again
The media
The clouds
The bails
The crowd again

The list is long.

Seemed like a strange thing to bring up.

Just remember though, if you don't go for a beer on their schedule the aussies will whinge.

They just cant help themselves, its hard for the english not to whinge it is in their DNA

[ExtraTime]

When is England having the ticket tape parade and awarding MBE’s for winning the moral Ashes?

[Michael]

what a last test match, the Oval produced another great game.

Poms played well and deserved the win.
Aussies keep the ashes, but overall

Ozzzies played well in fisrt 2 games
Poms played well in last 3 games

would be spewing if i was a pom, robbed by that result!

It's amazing that you australians lead the world in whingeing but don't actually know what it is.

What's ticket tape?

Ticker.... my mistake I cant blame fat fingers

[N5 1BH]

Yes, carrying the trophies all the way back home is a bit of a burden.

What the replica urn, that tacky little thing. Couldn't one of your blokes simply pop it in his pocket for the duration? Like Broad has always done with Warner

Yes, leave Bairstow out of this

Nah, the sandpaper might scratch it.

As for Broad v Warner, now past tense, just like McGrath v Atherton.

Just order one from the Gift Shop and have it shipped over. So much easier.

[MegaBonus]

does anyone know what the 'Moral victors' Cup looks like?

[N5 1BH]

Aussies 2-0 up and having England 142 for 7 in the third, scrambling a draw and then calling it a victory?? Define victory, what did you win

[The Bourne Identity]

What did england win?

[Cooper]

Aussies 2-0 up and having England 142 for 7 in the third, scrambling a draw and then calling it a victory?? Define victory, what did you win

Who said any of that?

[God is an Englishman]

Aussies 2-0 up and having England 142 for 7 in the third, scrambling a draw and then calling it a victory?? Define victory, what did you win

England won the 3rd test.

The 4th test was the draw.

[God is an Englishman]

What did england win?

The same as the australians.

[The Bourne Identity]

What did england win?

The same as the australians.

Which was what?

[N5 1BH]

Aussies 2-0 up and having England 142 for 7 in the third, scrambling a draw and then calling it a victory?? Define victory, what did you win

England won the 3rd test.

The 4th test was the draw.

The draw was meant to be a reference to the series.

[N5 1BH]

What did england win?

The same as the australians.

Which was what?

Two tests each but they were really lucky in their two and only won the second one by dubious sportsmanship and the 4th was only drawn because of rain when we were killing them so we’re very unlucky not to have won that one and so should have won the series and been photoed with the pretend urn

Funny you say that. I watched the Back Page the other night and Crash Craddock kept harping on about the Bairstow stumping being probably the best tonic for england and really wasn't worth doing because at the time Australia were moseying along quite well and england looked a bit disjointed and going through the motions (even with bazball). Then that incident seemed to get everyone on the team up and about and more galvanized etc. Throw in the "angry" home crowd and the little edges certainly helped them. Reckon he (Craddock) had a point.
Anyway, shoulda, coulda.........
