Why would anyone want to do that?

Why would anyone want to do that?

Ask ozzie owl.

Ask ozzie owl.

I have and he doesn't answer. He changes the team he supports every week though, I don't think he's all there.

[Cloister]

Probably rolls a die to decide on who is his team on any given day.

[God is an Englishman]

I asked him a number of times before this cricket series started who he would be supporting and he said nothing. Pretty obvious why not, he was always going for the side that won.

Many disagree with me on here (and I don't care) but I support my side to the bitter end. I'm English and I'm Millwall, that will NEVER change.

[Cloister]

I support my side to the bitter end.

That's the way it should be,

That's the way it should be,

and that's also why the Barmy Army won't be beaten. Aussies need to win and the army are there still supporting the team.

Well I'd be getting blind drunk and singing like a bunch of mongols too if I would have paid all the money to come here and witness this brand of filth the English cricket team is producing. Cheers for helping the local economies!

Atmosphere? At cricket? Its about as important as chanting at the golf or tennis.

Easily and I'm not even sure who's coming here for test matches next summer.

Half would still mean 25,000 (approx) right? How many can you fit into your little grounds?

Also recall Vaughan talking about why so many of Australia's list of highest run scorers average around 50, whereas england's only in the 40's. Response?
"As much as I hate to say it, throughout history whilst england have produced some good batsmen, Australia has produced many great ones".

So, how many great ones in the convicts side at the moment? How many in the England side?

Clarke only one likely from here, but premature as their cricketing stats aren't yet complete. I'll add the fact they were looking at both lists highest 10 test run scorers. I dont know england's player stats, but cant see any great ones there, especially on this tour. Trott was doing ok from memory but he's still in rehab isnt he?

To be "great" surely it's based on more than one series.

I believe Cook has scored more runs than Clarke in the same amount of tests. If Clarke's "great" then by default so is Cook.

No KP, you wouldn't describe England's 4th (??) highest runs scorer of all time a great. The guys a proven match winner and easily capable of being the biggest England run scorer of all time.

[God is an Englishman]

I do however agree, only Clarke from the cons.

[Bomber]

KP might be close, but as I said, career not over so can better judge then.
But he's a saffer anyway, so.........

And cook?

[bloodypassit]

.

Cook has batted in 10 more innings than Clarke

Clarke 101 Tests 172 innings 329 * H.S. 51.96 Avg
Cook 101 Tests 182 innings 294* H.S 46.97 Avg

He was born there yes.

Have you looked at your rugby squad? At least half a dozen are Kiwis, Tongans or Fijians - is it alright for you then?

See. It's not so surprising how many WANT to be Australian, so they do what they can to be one.
And you forgot AC/DC.
