When was that. I remember in the last few years we were in danger of being put under 80 and they kept bringing up something in to 80's.

But cool, no record. Yay us :lol:
Not sure probably in the days of uncovered pitches and sticky wickets where the balls would do all sorts. There was a bit of seam and swing but nothing to suggest to lose 10 wickets in less than a session.

Ok, so we've lost the toss and are batting on a green top.
Our batsman now need to stand up big time.
England need to bat last and need to have to chase a reasonable target.
If not, we are shot ducks.

I can never remember feeling so humiliated in an ASHES series as this.
I had hope that we might have had some steel, coming into this test.
I don't know what to say, except, well done you Pommie Bastards, and doing to us what we expect to do to you.

That was just shameful. Not sure that I've ever seen a more spineless performance in my life.
Even the really crappy teams of the early 90's had more heart. It's just like following the Eels over again.

The entire Aussie innings can fit in a single tweet. Embarrassing.

oh dear!! Someone should ask our top order if they have ever heard of leaving the ball??? It's a crazy thing some batsman doing when the ball is doing a bit.

Conditions were just right for the perfect storm. Green top, overcast and they won the toss.

If we can bowl the poms out for under 500, we are in with a decent chance of saving this test I think...
















































if it rains non stop on days 3,4 and 5 :sarcasm:

If you are on Facebook look up the Qld Police page and like it.

These blokes are hilarious.

60 isn't a speed limit it is now a Test score.

Drive or bat to the conditions. #Ashes #RoadSafety

Once the openers went for ducks, every batsman after that walked to the crease seemingly resigned to the fact that they would not be out there for long. Not one player dug in.

Take a look at the graphic showing where Englands bowlers bowled each ball. Only 2 deliveries in our innings would have hit the stumps !! :crazy: Hopeless.

On the ABC they are talking about similar or perhaps worse sporting fails like the Oz 1st innings last night.

One merkin called to say that he was a Storm supporter and their 2008 0-40 Grand Final loss to Manly WHILST they were cheating the cap was a similar result.

LOL that made me feel a bit better.
