The Ashes 2009

[BIG H]

One of the few sports that I have absolutely zero interest in - And we are gonna get ruined

The Aussies are coming off the back of a test series win in South Africa and I think they won the one dayers too?

They'll be tidy make no mistake.

We need Pieterson firing and a 100% fit Flintoff. We'll be pretty evenly matched I reckon.

[Mark TKO]

I have no interest either - cricket is one sport I don't get

A visiting American summed it up a few years ago when I overheard him in a pub debate saying "whats all that about - five days and no winner "


bag of shite

Andrew Flintoff is the most over rated player i have ever seen one ashes series in 2005 doesnt make you a world beator, hes not good enough to carry Bothams jock strap, supposed to be an all rounder but hes shit at batting, pretty good bowler, but has never really done it with the bat.


Auzzies will destroy us, its all well and good scoring centurys against the west indies but lets se Bopara and the rest against the Aussies, Pieterson is the only player who is genuine world class the other players would struggle to get in any other top international team.

Not much into cricket...but i dont mind the Ashes. We arent what we used to be but i still think we shall win. Our pride wont let us lose to the poms AGAIN, fuck the last time we played you guys in England we got fucked up badly.

All i got to say on this matter is



AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI !!!

Im not the biggest Cricket fan i take in intrest from a far but that last Ashes in England mate was something else, and i wouldnt say we fucked you up it was very close and competitve, fucking someone up was what you did back in Australia in 2007 .

Its shit the Ashes is not on Terrestrial TV other here, as its one of the biggest sporting events along with Wimbledon the World Cup The Golf Open etc etc in the Uk.

Obviously never heard of Graham Hick or Martin Hague?

Flintoffs been plagued with injury pretty much since 2005. He was reaching his peak then and gave one of the greatest sides in history more than they could cope with. I think that qualifies you for world beater status.

Flintoff isnt an allrounder, never really has been, he's a strike bowler who can make a few quick runs down the order.

Australia or any other team for that matter would much rather take on a Flintoffless England. Thats how good Flintoff is, or was.

Graham Hick and Martin Hague? There nowhere near WorldClass, Flintoff is good player but he is classed as some amazing player which he is not, hes verages in both forms are exactly that average. He played great in 2005, but has gone missing in most other big events,i.e 2007 Ashes.

Flintoff would be a bonus in the team becasue England are shit, but whatim saying is i Never seen any cricketer who gets so much praise when if you look closely at his actull stats there very basic.

[Snakey]

Must agree, the last time England won the ashes Flintoff was key. I dont know shit all about cricket but i know Flintoff is dangerous.

Exactly, but both were offered up as some kind of saviour of English cricket. Hick got found out by the Windies (no arsehole) and Hague was a fat bloke who kidded lots of people into believing he was a world class quick.

Flintoff did it at the very highest level against one of the best teams in cricket history, its a shame injury robbed him of the chance to move on from there. The impact he had in 2005 wasnt a fluke, he really was that good.

We can sit and watch grass grow together then.

(they should of burnt the bat and the ball too).
