damn. no wonder the australians can't wait to get home

Aussies must be feeling a tad embarrassed after all those celebrations last week just to end up drawing. Yikes.

you now remember that weird ODI-only tour Australia did last year because the world cup was this year and we scored almost 500 runs in one of them

As the decade come to a close, it must be the first one since the 80s where England have had the better over the Australians

I was more shit off that England didn't get to 500 in that game.

absolutely destroyed them
also we somehow lost to scotland that summer, a strange time

well, we did lose 4-0 and 5-0 this decade

So is the final opinion that we're both shit?

Feel like pure shit just want cookie back

still is mate

Don't meme me but I actually think through this series we've discovered that Denly can actually open, and that burns is alright.

Next few test matches played by England should hopefully help them to whittle the team into something worth watching.

it's certainly something to explain to the grandchildren

and Zimbabwe too

like to see a zimbabwean cricketing renaissance desu

>In The Oval Test, England became the first team in Test cricket to bowl the opposition out in both innings with none of the bowlers who took wickets in the 1st innings taking wickets in the 2nd innings.

Does everyone have to play the same amount of games or what? I saw you get more points for winning in a two match series, what's stopping somebody from shitting all over the Windies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in two match series every year for maximum points.

unironically thought broad was done after we got pumped down under last time, he seems to have sorted himself out and has bowled well home and away since. wonder how long he's got left because it's just archer and curran that are any good when he goes, and curran is a bit questionable atm. hope stone fixes his back and goes full pat cummins desu

reckon we need to start searching the caribbean and african continent for new bowlers

reckon we could poach a few tricky left armers from the kashmir unrest

apart from the two series that you lost then yes you are correct.

England were lucky to tie the Ashes test series when they were significantly worse than the Aussies. The top of the order batsman were simply dogshit.

I get the England team is currently more oriented towards limited-overs but still, disappointing.

Aussie batting minus Smith was even worse though

Not really, Edgbaston was basically in the bag for us, they needed 100 runs with 4 wickets remaining

That's such a classic kiwi thing to do haha what a lad

England were in a decent position to win that Lords test before the draw.
Says something about the rest of the australian team that they failed to win the series even with Smith playing at the level he did.

the series levelling joe root

If we can find a no 3 or another opener then I think we're quite close to a balanced team:

Burns
Denly / Opener
No 3 / Denly
Root (c)
Stokes
Buttler (wk)
S Curran
Archer
Leach
Broad
Anderson

>drawing a home series
>drawing the World Cup
>at home
Cricket is literally “home team wins lol” and the fact England can barely scrape out draws shows how dire they are. 20 more years until maybe another England cwc and 4 more years until the next England ashes so you lads are in for a lot of years of pain

not enough batting imo buttler is a memeslogger 32(26)

>archive.4plebs.org/sp/search/text/bla x/page/16/

Yeah looking at it now you're right. Maybe another batsman before Stokes to replace Curran, but I think Bairstow isn't that. He had one good year and has been riding it for 3 years now.

Except England is pretty much the only country where the pitch is fair to everyone, maybe we should chisel some cracks in and become an unplayable spin nation

Let's probably accept Anderson is gonna be perma crocked too

Burns
Sibley
Denly
Root (c)
Pope
Stokes
Buttler (wk)
Curran
Archer
Leach
Broad

Darren Stevens is at it again lads

Sydney test is always after new years

Scotland will destroy this tri-nation series if they keep playing like this. Ireland should be terrified.

That's ridiculously hard.

Yeah but why? Why is it always Brisbane-Adelaide-Perth etc., it wasn't always like that. That particular order only dates back to the 2002/03 series.

I'm going with tradition. Also Melbourne on the 26th December, and Brisbane is always first.

that store is run by a viet refugee now I think lmao

based

thanks mate very good of you

I was in Sri Lanka during the 2011 World Cup and stayed at the same hotel as Zaltzman. His real hair isn't that ginger. That is all

Melbourne has to have the Boxing Day Test
Sydney has to have the New Years Test
both tradition

Perth gets one during the peak of summer so the wicket is absolutely baked and a fast bowler's paradise. Brisbane opens because Australia always wins there. The others just fit in the gaps

It's a very recent tradition. I was looking at the 1970/71 series and it went Brisbane-Perth-Sydney-Melbourne-Adelaide-Sydney. The Melbourne Test was due to start on 31st Dec and be the third in the series (but it was washed-out and rescheduled). Just seems weird that they would rigidly stick to a tradition they pulled out of their arses. And that they would completely exclude Hobart for some reason.

that was the first test played in Perth actually

The Melbourne Cricket Club and the Sydney Cricket club own exclusive rights to the Boxing Day and New Year tests respectively

hold all 5 tests in Tasmania, they deserve it after all the neglect

"You'll find the inhabitants notably more polite, friendly and helpful than in big cities such as Melbourne and Sydney."

From the Wikivoyage page on Tasmania lmao

reckon every city says that

And it's probably true.

genuinely the most kino of films to come out of Australia

Nah, that's Breaker Morant.

not to mention that we quite literally invented the movie

the only film anyone needs to watch is Zulu

I will die on the hill that Wake In Fright is a pile of shit. Despise that it got ""found"" and every talking head wanker sang its praise. Why? It's a movie that goes on for way too long and literally it's only concept is >le the country is full of bogans and they're drunk, violent, and secretly homosexual!. And it's boring as shit

Didn't there used to be 6 tests in an ashes series?

because Scorcese said it's one of his favourite movies

one of those brainletbait flicks, says absolutely nothing but people think it's profound because it looks pretty while doing it and is "arty".

yeah cool, you remember the one scene of the movie, remember the rest of it?

>le shotbe sratde le babtrabe XDXDXD

rewatched Gallipoli a bit back, not nearly as good as I remember it. the ending is 90% of what it has going for it

reading up on bushrangers and noticed they were almost always irishmen
makes you think

Sentimental war films tend to get overrated because they give middle aged men feels.

I always remember them going through the desert to get on the train near the start, quite like Gallipoli, but it is trite, treacly boomer bait

Never watched it, but I assume it's about 99% Australians pulling themselves off by pretending that the vast majority of Allied soldiers there weren't English?

takes an Englishman to get stuff done without making a big song and dance about it m8

>country x makes war film that focuses on country x soldiers shock horror
It's about the Battle of the Nek which was all Aussies. Its made clear in the film that this is part of a much larger and mainly British operation

Fair enough, just beyond tired of the ANZAC whinging about something they have no right to bitch about.

tbf British people also had to die pointlessly in slaughters, hence why you get things like blackadder goes forth etc.

WW1 was archaic thinking in the first modern war

the concept is that a kid is good at running so he's made to be an errand boy, but he didn't run fast enough to prevent a personal tragedy. It's a nice enough movie. Peter Weir is a kino Machine, see Dead Poet's Society, Truman Show, Cars That Ate Paris

Business idea: Replace half the England team with the Scottish team and UK might have a chance of winning the Ashes next time round

Master and Commander, Picnic ant Hanging Rock too
WWII had similar casualty rates as WWI, is just there's no real narrative (evil Nazis) so the whome thing seems completely pointless in hindsight, fighting over empires that only had a few decades left anyway. There's some good revisionist accounts that move away from the 'lions led by donkeys' thing, eg Haig was considered a hero at the time but we needed a scapegoat that wasn't 'imperialism is fucked up dude'

isn't that sweet

Steve Smith doesn't look a million miles way from Rimmer now that you mention it.

HORSE ON THE RIGHT

Not a fan of this "drinking together" gimmick at all. Rival sportsmen should only be allowed to be friends after their career is over, and hate each other fiercely until then

>Business idea: Replace half the England team with the Scottish team and UK might have a chance of winning the Ashes next time round
are you kidding?

Scots are fucking terrible at sports. Wales mog them at both footie and rugby (their only sports) despite having half their population

Go home with your mental disintegration spiel, Waugh

The Rats of Tobruk is kino ANZAC material

Somebody didn't see Scotland DESTROY a very impressive Netherlands team earlier

This is the sort of cowardice that sees England crumble every bloody year, especially when playing in Australia

personally feel rival sportsmen should literally have to be held back by management and the plebeian support staff to stop them from killing each other

Do you not shake hands after the game then lad?

Feel sad reading this

That's more like it

With gritted teeth, and then straight to the dressing room. No smiling, no socialising, just politeness.

not sure if based Bravehearts would eagerly join your team, but then again they've not test status so who knows

I think when Man City get drawn against some non league no hopers in the FA Cup third round, they should spit on their defeated opposition, then burn down the stadium.

What's Man City? Sounds bent.

At rugby once had a trial, like a preseason, other team had a lad in there that used to be at my club when we were like 7 but his family had moved away. Finished the game and we walked off together with our arms over each other's shoulders. My Ma has a photo of it, was pretty good feels man.

not as bent as Man United m8

>David Gower: I think it's good for the game, good for the spirit of the game to get to know people, and I actually feel sorry for those that play the game, disappear 5 minutes after the game's finished, never speak to the opposition, never find out what they're really made of.
ian botham had a party at his house during a test, halfway through a series. and plenty of aussies were invited

>actually feel sorry for those that play the game, disappear 5 minutes after the game's finished,
Wonder who this is a dig at? Boycs one assumes. Imagine playing a round of golf with someone then refusing to socialise with them afterwards. Not a fan of football style tribalism in cricket

yes it was a dig at boycott

call it soccer please, I can say for certain that in rugby and gaelic there's handshakes and camaraderie

now this is BASED and a TRUTH PILL

>Man city

Men get together in toilets and suck each other off in toilet cubicals. Sometimes by glory holes but it normally ends up with them joining into one cubicle and one being top and one being bot. Cumming on faces to finish it off

>Man United

Men get together for bondage. Real hardcore anal. No blow jobs just pure alpha man action. Normally in dark rooms in nightlife clubs

Boycott is based, Gower and Botham are the sort of cuckold cowards who would gladly watch another man sleeping with their wife. It's as simple as that really.

Yes. Also Keane was a bottom

The morally victorious England

for me having a beer together at the end of the series is what links cricket at the highest level to club or village cricket. even at that level it is ultimately a bunch of mates doing what they love and getting paid for it. I think it's good that people can compete in sport and go really hard at each other and have a laugh about it afterwards. it's what separates us from the animals and divegrass.

trying to watch football after a summer of cricket is soul destroying, you realise how much of a plebby fucking sport football is, I'm sure I'll get back into it after a couple of weeks though as I'm a pleb myself.

watch rugby with the /rug/ lads lad

idk every season I get increasingly annoyed by the media circus that surrounds football
I think I like the idea of football more than the sport itself these days
and I support a lower league team so it's not like it's even the premier league specifically although that annoys me a lot as well
but you have to at least have a passing interest because it's such an easy conversation starter with most blokes

might be a controversial opinion, but I reckon soccer is a shit sport specifically made for poofs and I reckon the supporters and followers of it love having gigantic dicks in their arse.

comfy is just a code word for boring desu

>I reckon the sport I am bad at and have no interest in is bad

hmm yes big opinion this

There was a nice story on cricinfo about how Broad taught Siddle how to bowl the wobble seam delivery while they were teammates at Notts, Broad having been taught it himself by Stuart Clark during the 2009 ashes. If everyone stuck to their side we'd still be bowling underarm

Can't stand the adverts they do for the FA cup on the BBC

objectively is though

played it for years and was alright at it but it's fucking shit. only fun to play with mates would never watch it

Anzac Cove was purely ANZAC forces, even if there were British, French and Indian forces elsewhere on the peninsula

just fucking grim the more you read into it
recommend Storm of Steel very highly if you lads haven't already read it. some harrowing shit about the somme in there

used to be quite common, but alan border put a stop to friendships between sides during the series so they'd focus

just feel like rugby isn't worth my time, I enjoy the game but it's too hard to actually watch it in perth

Hmm

Just don’t want this summer of cricket to end can’t we have one more match to settle this draw
No more test cricket for months and next summer only 9 matches grim grim GRIM
My football team look like they’ll go up this year but transitioning to watching football after the summer just reminds me how it can never scratch the itch a proper test match can

so true

a good series of test cricket completely mogs all other sports it's not even funny. find it hard to sit through footy as much as I love it when I'm just coming off an absolutely elite test match

do non-australians find australian accents difficult to understand or is it just americans

its easy unless its super bogan

That last hour at Headingley wasn’t like watching sport it was an out of body experience almost I was physically shaking. Is there any other sport you can watch from 11 till 7:30 and be disappointed it’s over?
Fucking grim even this place is depressing now there’s been a carnival atmosphere all summer and now it’s back to being a somewhat entertaining social club

wasn't so much asking you lads, figured you'd be good enough with them
