England bowled very well, if "we" is England. Batting still needs lots of work.

Grayling

Of course 'we' is England.

You're English aren't you?

Beoz

Would you like to talk cricket? Happy to give that a run, for anything else, idiots are on ignore.

Grayling

How could I possibly compete with such a 'seasoned and experienced campaigner' such as your self?

Not sure you can put yourself on ignore, although it must be tempting

Onto the cricket, what seems to cause both teams to turn to shit when playing away? Are so called professional sportsmen really that unadaptable ? 4-1 this series, and we'll retain them next series 3-1, and it'll all be because of our wonderful new coach. Gets me thinking though, if they swapped him for you, I'd say England got the better deal arf arf

Grayling

If he did then his posts would get read even less often

Beoz

Its a good question. Its the Wag's. Damn if you do damned if you don't

I tried it once, went into some self perpetuating time vortex loop, West Ham beat the arse, England won the ashes and the Dragons spanked the Warriors, I should ignore myself more often haha

scrubbedexpat098

They should leave em at home and play away like they mean it

Beoz

There's an easy answer to that ........ "Hey honey, fancy joining me on a business trip to Bangladesh?"

I can't get the time off, but thanks for asking sweet cheeks, oh

Seeing as the gap between the best team on the planet and the rest is clear, cold air, it certainly is a bit chilly on top

I do enjoy watching the Ashes (it's where the great game of international test cricket began and the only things that spoil it are the barmy army and the fanatics) but me, and the 2 billion fans of the other 8 teams that can't compete only have an outside view so I can't get excited about it and therefore it doesn't hurt

Saying that it is between the 2 wanker teams of world cricket - if you didn't have a vested interest you'd know what I mean

Enjoy the victory - your team deserves it and you and all the other part-time cricket fans can savour the moment

Grayling

when did SA start playing Australia in the Ashes

Amazulu

Another non-cricket fan cricket fan appears! They certainly have been piping up over the last few days!

They don't. That would be your team - I can tell you know zero about the fine sport of cricket. Stick to the dogs

Grayling

Oh!... I thought you said wanker countries

So you get to see a lot of SA cricket games do you?...being a proper cricket fan and all
