1st test Aust vs England @ the gabba

[waltzing Meninga]

What a disgracefull performance from England.

with all the hype of this series, and after the great Ashes series last year, it is clear that England cricket has come nowhere since the last tour of Australia 4 years ago, In fact Nasser Hussains team was probably better than this mob.

To only take 11 wickets in the entire test, and be beaten by 277 runs is probably the most inept performance from a touring side I have ever seen.

The ashes series in Australia should be scrapped in 2010 and we should get Bangladesh out here instead, as they were a much more competitive outfit than England were.

I do like Roebuck, but thie whole test was a Monty Pythonesque performance by England, and now he's coming out with the whole "always look on the bright side" lines ("The Lion finally roared" :lol... it's almost like the scene from the Holy Grail where the black knight has no arms or legs and he's shouting I'll bite you!

 

[Rastus_in_Melbourne]

Most English are fair weather fans. Take a look at the Barmy Army, don't get their way and they are talking boycotting and all sorts of garbage.

To only take 11 wickets in the entire test

They only took ten! No bowler took a wicket in Australia's second innings either.

 

[hineyrulz]

great win by the aussies,but to be fair the poms were terrible. i think they will pick the same team for adelaide no way should stuart clark be dropped after that performance.

 

[Sanchez]

plunkett, panasar, read for anderson, giles, jones imo

 

[choc_soldier]

At least England put up some fight in their second dig.

England really need to only drop Anderson and replace him with Penasar - the team should stay the same... are any of their replacements going to put up a better show?

Australia should remain unchanged. But I have this gut feeling that either of the Clark(e)'s will be dropped in place Watson.

 

[willvillain]

Don't worry, Watson's been ruled out with his hamstring injury again.

Either Locky isn't as good a doctor as he was suggesting before the first test (I was only a day off!), or the selectors are lying to the media/public/Watson to keep him out of the team! Haha, either way I'm satisfied.

 

[El Diablo]

heard that at the start of Inside Cricket and thought it was excellent news.

Watson is a dud of epic proportions

 

[willvillain]

It's sad for Watson, but I know I'd rather keep the winning formula.

Watson's turn will come. I just hope it comes through good form and is justified, rather than simply being a reactionary decision to combat Flintoff.

 

[Sanchez]

how good is mahmood

 

[lockyno1]

Crap, but he can't be worse than Anderson!

 

[Twizzle]

how good is mahmood

big tall seamer, not a huge swinger of the ball, but he'd be a better option than Anderson or Harmlesson atm

bowled well in England but not as tight as McGrath and Clark

 

[JJ]

be interesting to see who they pick

I don't see them dropping Harmison, test of character for him so we'll see.

Anderson has to go though

Woman found naked with horse: police

November 29, 2006

<H4>A NSW north coast woman has been charged with bestiality and offensive conduct after allegedly being involved in an indecent act with a horse.

Police said they found the naked woman with the horse when they were called to a paddock in Wilson Street, Lismore at 9am (AEDT) on Monday.

"Police will allege a 35-year-old Casino woman was engaged in an indecent act with a horse,'' a NSW police spokesman said.

"The woman was arrested and charged with bestiality and behaving in an offensive manner.''

The woman was granted conditional bail and is due to face Lismore Local Court on December 18.

</H4>

Lismore's pretty close to the border. Can we mark that one down as a crazy Queenslander who managed to wander into NSW?

Or even more likely just some drugged up freak who'd lost her way and couldn't get back to Nimbin.
