Does anyone know the result of the 2nd Test in Adelaide between ENGERLAAND, and that bunch of criminals' descendants from Australia?

[Bethsmum]

We won Dillon. Big up the Brits. Fist time on their soil for 17 years I believe

[Bethsmum]

My computer is playing up this morning

Dillon, I have gone back and checked the result as the last time I told you something about cricket, I was talking out of the back of my head. Remember Durham V Yorkshire? LOL
Anyways, we did indeed beat the Aussies, by 1 innings and 71 runs I believe. I hope that's made your day.

[benwj]

The Aussies fight back to make it 1-1 and we now have a game on our hands.
Boxing Day and the G will be heaving.

[Dillon]

I had heard that the English team orders were to let you fellows back into the series as you were all so bloody miserable about the result of the 2nd test but yes, it’s going to be so much more fun on Boxing Day!

I also had my doubts that the poms can go from so good to so bad at the wink of an eye.
With any luck, Ricky Ponting's finger is broken and he will be replaced.

benwj, I'm sure you are well aware that going from so good to bad in the wink of an eye is something that Engerland excel at in the International sporting arena.

[shafique]

Who would have thunk it - England on the verge of retaining the Ashes!

[Bethsmum]

YES, Shaf, once again England have done the unexpected. I have just finished watching the third days play. Ricky is not a happy man. I think it is a foregone conclusion that we will win. I have to say I would love to have a night out with Shane Warne, I think he would be extremely entertaining, him and Ian Botham, now that would be a session.

[benwj]

Congratulations England.
You really kicked our arse.

Remember when someone let a pig onto the Gabba with 'Botham' painted on its side during 1982-83 test series.

[Galactico]

Very impressive from England I can remember the days when we had to put with all the jokes from Ian when the Aussies were dominating.

[benwj]

Arr, tico, jokes are just a bit of light hearted banter.

The Barmy Army come up with some of the best.

They had me singing along to "You'll be sacked in the morning" when Ricky ponting went out to bat.

We now have Alah on our side. Surely we can't loose the 5th test.

[Bethsmum]

benwj, the Barmy Army had me singing along too. 'He's got more runs that you'!! JT V The Aussies.

[Galactico]

My mate and I wonder what award will Collingwood get this time considering he made more runs than his last 2 Ashes series

[benwj]

He got an MBE, right?

[Bethsmum]

Arise Sir Paul!

Off topic Tico! Man City are knocking on the door. Big up Super Mario

[Galactico]

Yeh Marvelous Batting Effort

At work we always call him Lord Collingwood

They playing well at the moment depends how long it lasts. Do you think Man City can win the league? for me I think Chelsea are a bigger threat once they get going.

[Bethsmum]

Well Tico, no NY honour for any of the cricketers. It came a bit late for Mrs Queen to sort it I reckon. The only sportsman that has been honoured is some Irish golfer. I don't like golf, I'd rather watch me kettle boil. The honours, this year, all seem to have gone to boringly normal people. I had thought that Mr Beckham may have been given a Knighthood for his services to Armani pants, but no, Mrs Queen must not have been as impressed as BM.

As for Citeh, well they do the English thing of failing at the last hour so well. If we had beaten Everton before Christmas then we would have been top of the Premiership at Christmas and the records show that the team top at Christmas wins the title. never mind, we were top for 5 hours on the 28th. If i'm watching Citeh on the telly I usually end up behind the couch. I tried to get Miss Beth to sit with me to watch the Everton game and do you know what she said Tico? Please mum don't make me watch City again! I've been good all year!

[Galactico]

The funny thing is city tried so hard to get that match on against Everton and still blew it lol.

Is Miss Beth a Man U fan?

[Bethsmum]

No Tico, she is not, Casa BM is a strictly blue zone, no MU fans here. She even has the shirt, with her favourite, Adebayour, on the back. Although it has become BM's night attire of late, it's very cold here and the Chanel No5 alone wasn't keeping BM warm enough

BTW Happy Birthday Sir Alex, and Happy New Year to you Tico, where ever you may be in the World and I bet it's not Manchester!

Happy New Year to you also im not far from you really cuz Stoke is not that far from Manchester...

[Bethsmum]

Tico! Stoke? Wow! Robbie Williams country! I can't be doing with him tho', Take That shouldn't have taken him back. Yes you are right Stoke isn't that far away from BM or Manchester. There was BM imaginin you were in some exotic location and you are in Stoke!! Give 'us a shout when Citeh play Utd and we can have a drink before hand, It's pretty scary round Eastlands tho'. Don't wear that red scarf! I'll show you my photo of BM and Eric Cantona and Miss Beth and Paul Scholes! The picture of BM and David Beckham is only a figment of BM's imagination unfortunately.

-- Sat Jan 01, 2011 10:16 pm --

WOOOHOOO Man City has 41 points!! (2 games in hand for Utd, but what the hell!!) Citeh Citeh Citeh.

[adnankj]

Well it looks as if England are going to wrap up the series tomorrow morning. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!

[Bethsmum]

i'm still not sure whether we were spectacularly good or the Aussies bad! I LOL'd at the run out! The Barmy Army were the stars. Rule Britania.

[benwj]

Yep, its all over, bar the shouting and the fat lady is warming up her vocal chords (No, not you BM ).
What a discrace.
Worse performance in the history of the ashes. Credit where credits due, England were top class.

i do beg your pardon benwj! BM is not a lard as$e contra to popular opinion!

oh the poor Aussies! Do you think many will turn up for the final humiliation?

BTW I still like Shane Warne! His accent makes me want to curl my toes in the sand.

I know BM, otherwise I would be getting decked right about now

Will many turn up? It will be all over before any Aussies manage to skive off work at lunch time, so unlikely. Not worth wasting a sickie over either.

I've always like Warnie... although not the same way as you BM. And he is even cooler now that he's screwing Liz Hurley. What a legend!!!

[Bethsmum]

And what a remarkable set of teeth he has! Yes, he has nailed Miss Hurley, he is indeed a legend! She had access to all that Indian money and she opted for Shane. I've heard his ball skills are amazin.
And what about Mr Collingwood? he is from the same neck of the woods as BM. he is bowing out on a high. Well done Paul.
I hope Ricky returns as Captain, he's a gobby little bugger, BM can relate to him!
Nearly time for BM to retire to bed and watch the vinegar strokes, England are cumin home!
