By the way, i think the soap dodging thing is getting a bit tired. I know for a fact that most of the poms shower more often after cricket than the aussies. It's all bull**** just like how everyone says they drink warm beer. It doesn't happen.
Only because we have had a lot of rain and they can't help but get wet
stumpy on here making obvious reference to the fact. Then persuader brought it up in a more subtle fashion. And you wanted to change the whole format of the game because you couldn't beat us in the first test!!!
Add to that the constant moaning about our selection on this board over the years, and the non stop moaning I have had over the pasts few days from friends and it all boils down to on big reply.
**** you all!!!
Gooch the persuader was asking a (genuine)question and is right that a lot of aussie state sides are full of ring ins i think you just tipped in Let me know which box your in on boxing day. A few of us are in the Energy Aust Box and we,ll walk around and hav a beer.
Or the bit abt England been filled with smelly little cricketers who for the past two decades have been absolutely crap and couldnt beat a grade 6 2nd eleven let alone a test nation.
