Eh? Why are you always so nice to the opposition?? That is so un-Australian.


Most of my best mates are English/Brits but on the sporting field, they are and always will be pommy bastards. They fucking hate us. That's because we usually beat them every time we play them.


Look at the wogball game (they call it football apparently). They think they are the bee knees when they play it. Yet the last time they played Australia, they put their top side against us and we still beat them 3-1. They played at home as well.


They haven't been game to play us since.








Hope the Aussies win the deciding ODI game tonight even if we are running out mainly the B team and a C grader or two. Might still be good enough to beat the Poms who have never won anything serious (ie World Cups) in the ODI arena

Its because I'm a gentleman from Queensland and believe in honest sportsmanship, unlike you, an uncouth New South Welshman turned sandgroper

Mind you we did beat the shit out of the poms overnight

Rashid takes 5 wickets on the last day and bowls England towards an unlikely victory in a dull Test Match against Pakistan. Then with the England run chase well under way and only 25 runs needed for victory the Umpires take the teams off for bad light even though the floodlights are on.

Surely the Umpires could have just said we will play 2 more overs and if you aren’t over the line by then that’s your lot? Would have evened things up with all the time wasting the Pakis had done. Of course England would never indulge in such shoddy tactics unless it was totally justified. Like trying to avoid defeat in a Test Match.

The cuzzie bros recently beat us in the Rugger WC, Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup.


On Thursday they play us in the First Test in Brisbane. We with a few new players and captain and they with a settled side. Eerily like the 1985 Brisbane Test against them where Australia was trying to rebuild after the retirements of Marsh, Lillee, Chappell G. and Kim Hughes. And it was coming straight after a losing Ashes series in England as well.


The signs are not good plus they put some Queenslanders in the side to boot. Only 6 of the Test team play for NSW including the captain and v/c. Not enough!!





Good to see Warner made v/c. He will bring a steady head and hand to the team.







At least we are not playing for a Cup!!!

Hooray for Usie!!! 174!! Plenty more like this and I MAY forgive him a tad for defecting to Queensland.



Hopefully he can do a Hayden or Langer who both resurrected their careers after a poor start



Bowlers can do it too as the Kiwi's found out today

And Warner is not a test batsman.




Three years to the day this was part of a post on this board. I wonder who wrote that??

2 for 416 at stumps with Warner on 244 not out.

Looks like we have batted the Kiwis out of this test match as well?
