Didn't Glenn McGrath say that in 2005.Quote:

yeah and its the only time Mcgrath has ever been wrong!! not to mention the games he played in England didnt win any of them!!
yeah Im just kidding hope no 5-0 want it to be close like before
cant see it Manker teams just cant handle the Gabba here first up they find it hard to adjust bowling and batting with the bounce and Warne loves bowling on the 2nd and last day on it I reckon you guys will have to follow on.. Sydney and Melborune will suit you guys with the swing bowling
McGrath hasn't looked anything special since he's come back ... bet I'm gonna eat my words tho'!
I'm more worried about Brett Lee and Warne on this pitch because it's made our fast-medium seamers look ordinary. Hopefully McGrath or Clark won't get much out of it either.
Definitely need one of the openers (has to be Strauss) to get a century and then one of the middle order too to avoid having to follow on. If you get us out before we pass that target, we're fooked!
Lee is overrated he gets smashed around a lot he just is all pace really more of a One day bowler
far out whats wrong with Harminson??
LMAO told you so
ask Cook if Mcgrath can still play now Botham!
a total over hyped missmatch so far

Pieterson and Flintoff are your only hope left if they get out your kinda fucked Bell can anker around a bit too
hahahahaha
6/50 McGrath gets and lmao at all the Mcgrath pom bashers just shows you the reason why you won the last ashes the 2 tests the Poms won guess what?? Mcgrath didnt play in them
hahah 600 run lead Ponting is Unstoppable the guy is on Bradmans pace
England made 157 runs in 61.1 overs.
Australia made 160-1 in 36 overs
yeah but last year you bowled us out TWICE one of those tiems was for 190
this time you couldnt bowl us out TWICE and what was it?? 10/804 all together had to declare twice
So what ya saying - that based on the first Ashes test, Australia are looking a much better cricket team than England.Quote:

well seeing as we have won 12 out of our last 13 tests and england have only won 6 out of their last 13 and we are ranked number 1 in the ICC rankings and arguably have the greatest spinner of all time one of the best fast bowlers of all time and the best wicket keeper of all time and smashing the poms by 277 runs and atm have the best batsman in the world at this moment
then yes Aust are a better team then England
tell you what if your any chance in Adelaide on Friday you have to win the toss
if Aust win the toss its game over red rover we havnt lost a game in Aust batting first in about 20 years
"game over red rover"
:dabs:
If sport always went as predicted there'd be no point in playing :dabs:
"game over red rover" :ermm:
game over red rover :D
smug aussie wanker over the ashes. boy am i glad i got internet back
Much better in the 2nd test.:D
Anyone know if it's being streamed on the web?
yep all over red rover its a draw
LMAO talk about a choke you declare for 550 on a dead wicket and still cant beat Aust
Aust= unbeatable game set match
and as I said game over red rover
Oh well. That's that then :dabs:
What a disaster. I can't believe England collapsed like that.
England should have drawn this test, but they messed that up pretty good so deserve to lose, now they only need to win 3 straight tests to win, lol.
They might have won it if they had had a slog at 550 for 6. If they had posted a score of 650+ then Australia would have almost certainly followed on. I thought it an odd decision at the time. :unsure:Quote:

how was Flintoff to know they would collapse like that on the last day
if he went on batting and got 700 there would have been people calling for Flintoffs head for being negative and playing out a boring draw
in the end it was the pathetic england batting in the 2nd innings that cost them
a dumb Bell run out flintoff swish thew his wicket away however Stouss shouldnt have been out
BUMP
now let me tell you all now I TOLD YOU SO told you it would be 5-0 everything I said was correct
Aust= Unbeatbale 19 tests in a row
can anyone stand up?
sure Mcgrath is retiring no problem we beat South Africa 3-0 in SA without him Clark stands up easy
out goes Langer in goes Jaques thats easy
out goes Martyn In goes Symonds no problem gets 150
Warne maybe this is the only player we will miss
5 - 0
All i have to say =D
