Aust... WHO (never heard of them), are they ballet dancers?

About time ponting and his dancers came down to earth.

Come on Ponting & Co, lets get pissed round Symonds place.

Unfortunate. I'm worried about our readiness for the Ashes.

It was a shame to lose Symmo, but he had it coming and he knew the rules. We don't need a Flintoff.

Are you an Aussie?

Yes.

Don't take this the wrong way - I'm not trying to be rude - but I am curious as to why are you posting on the British expats website if you are an Aussie?
Where you born in Britain and have taken aussie citizenship?

T20 is irrelevant in relation to test cricket, although I think the Ashes could go either way.

Why not?

And, Vash lives in the UK. He also likes/dislikes bits of it too. Hence I would have thought his input is welcome as a Brit/Australian lifestyle commentator.

Fat alcies is a great tradition in test cricket. Not sure if going out in the first round or losing to Holland is the worse preparation.

As i said I was only asking because I was curious. I was not saying he should or shouldnt post.

That's OK..

Don't be so coy. You said, "I am curious as to why are you posting on the British expats website if you are an Aussie?" which is quite clearly a leading question. People of all nationalities post on this forum - the thing that unites us is not the fact that we all 'British' but the fact that we all live or intend to live or used to live, in a country other than that which we were born in.

cue the Aussie 'experts' describing 20/20 as 'hits and giggles' and not proper cricket etc etc...

they'd be talking it up if they'd won it.

sadly i dont think it does have any relevance to how they'll do in the Ashes. different personnel for a start.
