I think this series will be won by the bowlers and whose batting line up is less cabernet.

Only one australian and one Englishman are truly world class batsmen. Others will chip in with runs and maybe even score big on occasions but you also wouldn't be surprised if they don't score.

England saving Anderson for Adelaide and possibly not playing Broad either. With his record (albeit outside of australia) against candice's husband, why wouldn't you play him first up? Luckily, last I spoke to someone in the camp, I was told he is playing (but final decision was being made this morning).

Weather affected Brisbane will set the tone for the entire series.
When does the world class englishman come into bat?

8/122 now

We still have to bat on that wicket, so plenty of cricket to come. Even some rain may not prohibit a result.

Was good to watch Eric Gilchurch presenting Carey with his baggy green this morning. Great player and person to be given that honour and someone for Carey to look upto.

Looks very green, some may suggest "doctored".

That's a good first effort for an aussie, last line needs some work though as it doesn't scan

Rain delays, why do they play cricket in places like this that don't have the climate for it.

I know you're not that knowledgeable on cricket but even I don't believe you meant what you said above.

No, I'm suggesting some may suggest it was if it had happened in any other country.

Glad you can finally admit you were wrong and have assumed what i know about cricket.

Neither. Was simply a statement that i wish to make, you made the choice to comment and drag it out and make yourself look stupid while trying to inflate your huge ego as usual.

Congrats on being caught out assuming once again.

You didn't catch me out. I said I was assuming from the start.

So, you are standing by that statement then? You don't see any error in it, you're not on a wind up?

You're not fooling anyone with your attempts to show you know more than you do.

Well as per the above, you have tried to claim you have cricket knowledge by bringing up an old story about the actual person. As I also said, I'm not buying it.

I would think you wouldn't stand by it as you will have seen how silly you look by doing the above.

Couldn't care less if you don't buy it, that's not my problem at all. Your opinion is completely irrelevant.

Look silly? What are you on about now?

I stand by it even more since it clearly gets on your nerves lol

Keep going if you want, but keep in mind how irrelevant your opinion is to anyone.
