How many chickens do you have there? What's that? Oh I see, you can't count them because they haven't hatched yet...

hmmm...did a quick stocktake last night, out of the five eggs munkey may well have two chooks. We have one. And a pigeon with a sore ankle.

OH Dear !!, haveing just left watching the 3rd of the
5 tests . and then reading all the posts on this site
( which are mainly aussie ) . methinks there will be
a few red faces at the conclusion of the Ashes.
if Iam wrong then the red face will be mine .

By the way did I mention that Eric Lindros is now a Leaf,

To come back to my original question, who won? and why would you want to win some ashes?

Dogger

dogger.

the game is still ongoing, its more of a collection of games.
but the Aussies normally kick our asses, (no matter how hard we try to deny it) but we can smell blood this time, the wounded animal is week, and the predator is closing in for the kill.

and about the ashes..... well thats quite a long story, involving the wickets being burnt and put in a pot.

So is it the best three out of five?

Spoon Feed me here guys, I really am trying

Dogger

There are five games, but it is not the best of five.
Australia presently holds the Ashes.

The results of a game of cricket can be:
Win
Draw
Tie
Lose.

If Australia draws the series, we retain the Ashes. England must win the series to take the Ashes of us. In a series, you will often have a couple of draws maybe, so only three or so games will count.

England are looking like going 2-1 up from the current game, and two are left to go. So we could win another, draw the series 2-2, and retain the Ashes, or win both and win the series as well. If England wins another game, they get the Ashes.

Current Test coming along nicely but we've still plenty of time to throw it away!

hay, fellow UK`er, ha ha ha. brings em out of the woodwork eh.
and i thought it was only lonesome me who was going to have to bask in this glory all alone.

it certainly must have been fate what brought me to this forum, for beer and for glory.

all is looking good from this side of the world "chaps"

Munkey,
didn't you read my earlier post on this thread?
How many chickens do you think you have?

Relax, have a homebrew. Washed down with a 146kmh Tait delivery.

i have to admit tho, being one the receiving end of defeat more often than not, i can say from experience that its not looking good for you guys.

wohoo!!!!! 200 posts

Has the bleeding stopped yet?

Dogger

let me be the first to congratuate our valient worriers clad in white,
easy win that dont even think our boys broke into a sweat. ha ha ha



all the way to the line. he he. good bloody game. think my heart stipped a few times.

Still one to go munkey.

Beware of the wounded Aussie.

...worriers...

That would be the Australian cricket fans then?

Greg

Why does it have to always be so close. I almost couldn't watch!

Was wondering how you guys learned how to play.Was it from any aussies.16 years and rod Marsh had to lend a hand.If you cannot play cricket copy the aussies and then you can just win. But for how LONG.

So,

Its a done deal is it?

By the way, how do you drink out of the cup if its filled with ashes?

Dogger

Dogger

Not a done deal at all. If Australia win the next and last test then they retain the ashes.

Not much sense drinking out of it if you could, it's about the size of an egg cup if I remember correctly.
