We beat Sri Lanka! Dhoni smashed Eranga 6 4 6! Champions of the triseries! We almost bottled it near the end. Raina is too irresponsible and Jadeja fails to do anything with the bat. Both sides collapsed near the end Sri Lanka lost 8 wickets for 30 runs and we made an easy chase- difficult. Zimbabwe tour in a few weeks, our youngsters will play there. Hope Praveen Kumar gets to bowl, can't believe the selectors don't pick him. Just imagine an opening bowling of Bhuwaneshwar Kumar and Praveen Kumar! The batsmen will barely make any contact with the ball apart from edges!

Just saw Agar's interview. Seems like a really nice lad.

Meanwhile Ricky Ponting finishes his first-class career 169 not out. What a way to bow out

None of England's batsman even come close to Ricky's level, lol Pathetic.

Lets go England.

Mahendera Singh Dhoni-The greatest ODI finisher of the past decade and may be of our generation.

He is an incredible finisher, he always seems to take it over the line.

Yeah that Agar looks like a very decent young man. Seems to not be phased and really enjoys what he does. He shoulda been out though with the stumping. That 3rd umpire was a complete cunt yesterday, obviously got some bets going or something, maybe he was from Pakistan i dunno. Trott's dismissal was a horrendous decision too. You could understand an umpire giving it out in real time but for a 3rd umpire with replays and slow motion, to get both of those decisions so wrong, seriously, really?

KP and Cook need to both get tons or we've lost this first test.

LOL, As if that would have anything to do with it? And for the record it wasn't, also you do realize that the umpire of the year for three consecutive years has been Pakistan's Aleem Dar.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Looking better and better for Oz. Bell is the key wicket here now.

I'm afraid that doesn't change the fact we're still the best overall Cricket nation on Earth. You may continue living in your delusions though, if that is what suits you.

Meanwhile, enjoy the biggest Ashes SMASHING any team could ever get. Just don't cry again LOL

Have you been hanging around with Liverpool fans recently? You may have your history, but you're currently going nowhere.

No it's just funny seeing delusional England enjoying this brief little period of success acting like they've been a great side for a long time LOL

This England side is nothing spectacular which makes your delusions even funnier. You think you're the best thing since slice bread LAWL Typical Pom team though, will crash and burn soon enough and have no real spirit. Aussies will be back where we belong. Like it or not, put your delusions aside and recognise we are the Brazil of Cricket. The indisputable best that rises time after time, that has mastered the game.

P.S English Cricket fans remind of Citeh supporters, so hopelessly deluded into thinking they will dominate everything for a long time. Also Citeh has no soul much like the English team.

The irony that a collection of colonies for Convicts has become a better country that the Motherland, England. No, I'm not joking.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Need another 100 runs or so to make this game on.

Thats a strong claim, mind backing it up with reasons?

It would only derail the thread more and cause more butthurt amongst the Poms (Since it's true). Anyway, better get back on topic.

England will have won 4 of the last 5 ashes should they triumph here. You could argue 1 or 2 is nothing but if they make it 4 out of 5 then that's more than just a bad run.

For the record i don't give two fucks about England, in any sport.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,532]

England getting on top now..Aussies dusting off their old history books for comfort like a child reaching for it's special blanket.

Does indeed remind us of Liverpool fans...where only the distant past and predictions of some distant time in the future matters.

[Ankit 3,176]

Stuart Broad. LOL. What a wanker. I hope Yuvraj takes you for another 6 sixes in an over.
