I was lucky enough to get to go to a days play in the ashes -

Saw Collingwood get a century - then saw Pieterson get a century - then Collingwood get his double hundred.

The aussies went almost two full sessions without taking a wicket - then England bowl just 5 overs to take the wicket of one of the aussie openers.

From what I've seen England are going to piss the ashes - and Montys still to come!!!

Damn!:eek:

I think they should be like Prince Nas and be forced to relinquish their OBEs, CBEs , MBEs or whatever they got. What was the achivement again -

They succeeded in not coming second in a two horse race, against a nation with a third of our population, at a game we invented, on home soil - for 18 years they hadn't even managed this much.

Sounds rather like the award was for being sh**t for 18 years.

Could someone please nominate me for an award - a knighthood even - There have been occasions when I have not been shit also!?

It must be quite flattering to the "Aussies" that they hand out honors to the Brits if they actually manage to beat them once in a while :p

Its quite flattering to the England team that they get honours - I have no doubt the Aussies think its a joke.

As do most of the English, but then the whole of the honours system has been a joke for years, remember Lady Falkender?, its just that our Tone has taken it to new depths.

Isn't there some kind of mutual 'let's call it a day' agreement to this game? :D

It is fully understood by non Europeans, thats why we have international matches with India, Sri-Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, New Zealand etc.

Slightly more world involvement than your "world" series.

If you're referring to Australia, you'll find they are not ex-colonies, they are still part of the Commonwealth.

I don't think he's mastered this quick scoring thing - probably double his wages and keep him on for the 20/20 cup.
