If you win the test series 5-0, I promise I will come to Dubai and publically eat my hat! (Please England, just hold out for one draw!!)

^ian^ wrote:Well, heartbreaking I know. By the sounds of things, you think you had a chance.

I turned the TV off once Geraint Jones got out - I knew that was our very last chance gone in the test.

Roll on Adelaide.

Oh, and I hope your day gets better mate.

I think for the body to completely recover, then you need to quit by the time you are 35 - then it will take 20 years (or something) for the body to recover. After that, the body will never fully recover. Certainly here in Europe, smoking is becoming more and more anti-social. It has already been ba...

Here's a message for Ian: Remember what I wrote before that you rubbished and said I was on pills: To be fair - you should have won that game at a canter, two days ago. Ricky Ponting just hasn't got what it takes to be a captain - he's not ruthless enough (like a Taylor or Waugh). Case in point, I c...

You've got a friend called Ian as well then - because surely you've not got a social life?!?!

Don't tell me - my invite is in the post??

And nicely avoided by Ian - who is obviously too busy dreaming of the Aussie fightback.

Speaking of avoiding, technically, the Aussies haven't avoided that yet!!

Plastic Scouring Pads - no home should be without them!

You usually move in a new place just before your birthday then?!?!?!

Congrats buddy

Technically, technically, technically. Don't get all technical on us Zoots.

It's what I do best - technically speaking

And what's this about "English poof"??

How do you work that out??
This test has got draw written all over it!

Anyway, time for me to go to work! This test is boring now!!

Yeah, definate draw. Aussies can't get us out in time to have a bat and knock off the runs. Same goes vice-versa - we can't bowl the Aussies out quick enough to win. We should have played Monty. Ashley Giles is hardly going to rip through a team with his bowling. I doubt he could run through my sund...

I'm sure the legal eagles around here will confirm this, but I didn't think that ignorance is an adequate defence in the law (though perhaps it is in Dubai)??

I'm sure the legal eagles around here will confirm this, but I didn't think that ignorance is an adequate defence in the law (though perhaps it is in Dubai)?? Guess you are no longer ignorant about that. Erm, are you confirming what I said?? :shock: :shock: :shock: Cheers, Ignorant of England

Ponting has gone!! Might be too little too late though

Martyn gone!!

^ian^ wrote:4/121 - it's not over yet.

Still, only 47 runs required, or about 10 balls to Gilchrist.

Does that include a couple of dot balls?

^ian^ wrote:On another note, heard the drug abusing Pakis were acquitted and are now allowed to play. WTF?!?!?

Always look after themselves - they realise that they are useless without those two bowlers. Can you imagine the uproar had the Aussies not banned Warne 4 years ago?

Lets get some perspective on this - England were just rubbish and had been papering over the cracks of the fact that they have lost two key batsman, an inspirational leader (Freddie is inspirational, but he's not a master tactitian to go along with it), Harmison couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo...

Don't roll a spinner in Perth unless you think he's truly world class. Perth is a seamer's paradise. It used to be a seamers paradise, but I hear they relayed the pitc...

Have you guys been smoking something?? I think the whole forum has gone loopy!

completely mad!!

I miss arguing with Liban, then finding out that he's more "liberal" than he came across as. At least he always stuck to what he believed in, and I miss seeing his insights on many things on the forum. That and he'd also back you up if you needed it. It's a shame he's gone, but life goes on.

I note that Golf isn't on the list!!
