After losing 5-0 in Australia in 2007, victory in The Oval sun was reminiscent of England's legendary 2005 Ashes win.
Australia resumed on 80-0 needing a further 466 for a world record win but twice lost two wickets in two overs.It wasnt a walk over though (unlike Aus 2007 where they won 5 - 0) Australia did play very well, getting 8 100's although England won the crucial moments.

2010/11 will be interesting, I'm hoping we can retain the ashes in Australia

[sdavis117]

I believe that it is Cricket, considering that they are talking about Ashes.

Cricket is a hilariously boring game, especially test matches, hth~

[rossmum]

Cricket is the kind of game you leave on in the background while you do something else so you don't miss the incredible bits where a whole team goes down in a few overs, hth~

OUT.

but if your looking at cricket that way your doing it wrong.
it's about chillaxing, lying back in the aircon or after you've got outta the pool kicking back with a coldy.
and hey if you fall asleep for a bit you catch right back up in know time.

it's the greatest game ever.
Gentlemen.

hey dont you guys have a heap of shit from egypt and greece that dont belong to you?
"No doubt you have heard of the controversy surrounding the Elgin Marbles. These are the choice pieces of the frieze on the Parthenon, one of the maidens from the Erechthion and many other artifacts which were 'sold' to the British Lord Elgin by the Turks who were occupying Greece. They are now in the British Museum for 'safe keeping' though the Greek Government, the Greek people and just about everyone else in the world with the exception of the British government believe that they should be returned. To put a contemporary face on the situation if someone broke into your house, held you hostage and sold your Picasso collection to your neighbor you would expect your neighbor to return it. In this case the neighbor says "No, these are mine. I bought them."

ooaaahhh shiiiieeettttt

And just about every plant and animal on the island is poisonous and is trying to kill you.
You lot can't even put your shoe's on without the fear of being killed by tiny spiders.

Oh...and Hugh Jackman :drcox:

That said, I've only watched cricket a couple times, and while it's not the most exciting sport I've ever seen, it's fairly entertaining.

Grow a pair. I've had to deal with funnel-webs in the house before, and you don't see me complaining.

[n00b1n8R]

I live on a boring island where all the interesting fauna/flora were made extinct thousands of years ago.
Why yes, yes you do.
