1ST ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Nottingham Jul 10-14, 2013

[BuffaloRules]

Didn't really deserve to win.

Without two gutsy last wicket stands it would have been a walkover for the Poms.

But NO ONE walks skeepe.

Haddin just stood his ground but I don't think he's a cheat. I don't think Clarke is a cheat despite reviewing when he hit it.

That's just the game. Batsmen bat. Umpires umpire.

And you won't find one ex Aussie captain who thinks otherwise. Your current captain nicked one to first slip once and stood his ground. And I don't blame him.

Can't argue with anything you have stated Tommy.

 

[hineyrulz]

Haha come on mate some of these posts are pretty funny. I didn't really care who won.

:lol: Yep, the red mist is starting to clear.

 

[MrAnonymous]

f**k of Cowan, this is that merkins fault

 

[Horrie Is God]

Thats the worry, hope Boof can get the boys up in 3 days time.

I doubt they'll need any motivation after that..

They should be angry..at themselves & others..

 

[Tommy Smith]

Can't argue with anything you have stated Tommy.

The frustrating part to me is this apparent insinuation that if you get a slight nick and don't walk then apparently it's not cheating. But if you smash the cover off of it but don't walk then that's cheating.

To me, if you know you hit the ball but don't walk, then it doesn't matter how much wood you get on it.

So I don't see how Haddin and Broad are any different. Even I would have been offended had Haddin walked in such an important situation!

f**k of Cowan, this is that merkins fault

Straight swap for Usman?

 

[no name]

Clarke and Haddin just need to stand behind the stumps and study what a ball going down leg side looks like.
One of those reviews was f**king horrendous and not using that would have gotten rid of Broad.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Hey Aussies, you lost it's time..

 

[MSIH]

Jimmy going to hit anyone with a pad this arvo? Add another chapter to his what I'm sure is a riveting autobiography.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Cowan needs to go for Australia, I'm guessing now that Warner is in SA that only leaves the next Bradman, Khawaja, to replace him? And Finn should go for England. What a performance by Anderson.

 

[chrisD]

What's important is the headmaster Saffa has been f**ked off and his replacement working his way in. We've got a lot of improvement in us as the rancid team culture is scrubbed out, the Poms on the other hand, this is the absolute very best they can do.

 

[BDR]

Can't blame Broad really, it's tempting but it would be hypocritical. Combo of Umpire incompetence and the DRS being painfully broken is to blame.

[NrlCoach]

Hey Aussies, you lost it's time..

 

[MrAnonymous]

Straight swap for Usman?

Id say so, he is the only other option.

 

[butchmcdick]

Can we ban Watson from f**king calling for the DRS everytime he gets given out ?

 

[Fast Eddie]

:lol::lol::lol::lol: you can't be serious posting that garbage.

 

[butchmcdick]

My gut said he hit it when it happend

 

[MrAnonymous]

Pretty much says it all.
Robbed.
