    No excuses. England were out-bowled, out-batted, out-fielded, out-brained, out-run, out-smarted by the GCO (Genetically Criminalised Ockers) XI. I didn't really expect Engalnd to win The Ashes, but neither did I expect a 5-0, rub your nose in the kangaroo dung massacre it turned out to be. Well done you thieving buggers Australians. If I could be there now, I'd drink a glass of Boag's or Cooper's with you, not to celebrate or commisurate but to enjoy a nice beer in the sunshine on a hot day which'll make a welcome change to the endless monsoon we've been having here in Blighty. :)

    If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

      Most unexpected, as a neutral, I expected England to win, maybe 2-1 or 3-1. Australia didn't strike me as a particular strong unit, getting thrashed in India 4-0 just months before and all that - I guess England were just pathetic X| Do you know home teams lost just 2 tests in all of 2013? (Yes, test matches, not series.)

      Cheers, विक्रम "We have already been through this, I am not going to repeat myself." - fat_boy, in a global warming thread :doh:

        Indeed. It looks like there is this strange phenomenon going around. Last year, I guess things were only slightly better (though I don't have any statistics behind this statement). Away teams don't perform well.

          England imploded. They look unbeatable a few months ago. As an example, Matt Prior did tremendously well in June. In a few months, he had to be dropped! Haddin did badly in England. Few months later, he was a hero.

                Woo hoo! No doubt a great result and probably Michael Clarke's salvation but it was a particularly boring series. Please don't sent the girl's team next time.

                  To be honest, the girl's XI would have played better than the "girls" that did go.

                    thats unfair they did wonderful, the only problem is that had to keep stopping to play cricket, but that didnt take too long out of thier holiday

                    You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
