Second Test.

Stupid is as stupid does
Sometimes that helps :)

One stat is that is the first time in 400 Test Matches (since 1938) that Australia have leaked 400 or more on the opening day of a match. That, in itself, is quite pleasing.

Problem for England is the pitch doesn't help their two best bowlers who are very tall and bang the ball in hard. The ball just sits up with no pace and says "hit me". That's why I think Australia will amass a huge total. The other 3 bowlers *may* suprise me and the ball *may* swing today but if it doesn't, we're buggered IMO. Irritatingly, Australia have the best batting line up in the World. They have a guy who averages over 55 at number 7. Not one of the England players averages more than 51 (who has played more than 10 Tests).

What, like Rugby?

How many times have they beaten England in 4 years? Erm...... once. Who beat them in the World Cup? What's the most physical game on the planet?

Nuff said :D

To be fair to Janie her sphere of comparison only encompasses men from Norfolk, a land of pastey faced inbreds and Alan Partridge :)

Nah, they just always have a punch up. No way is it more physical than Rugby. Rugby is the ONLY game to have a seperate rule for people bleeding :D

Ice Hockey is for pussys. They're all padded, same as American football.

Rugby Leauge is far lamer than Union. They don't have rucks and mauls were you can stamp on peoples heads \o/

I just thought they fondled each other in those mass pitch hugs they do - tis afterall another public school sport ;)

Anway typical of England they win the world cup and instead of using it as a platform for years of dominance, they become lazy and crap - Wilkinson some hero he turned out to be adverising the Post Office and faking injuries.

LOL. I don't think he was faking a thing considering the man is a compulsive obsessive about Rugby and quite scary (and dull) about it.

I was reading Martin Johnson's autobiography and he was telling the tale of the SA Lions tour when he suffered a twisted testicle( WTF?! OW!!!!). Apparently Jerry Guscott was also in the physio room whilst the Physio was man-handling Mr Johnsons testicles and pissing himself laughing whilst nursing a broken arm. Johnson said "I very nearly broke the other one for him".

:grin:

the reason they won the World Cup, was because it was going to be the only real chance before they lost quite a few senior players, it was now or never.

Martin Johnson (retired)
Neil Back (got the ass and retired)
Lawrence Dallaglio (retired)
Johnny Wilkinson (been suffering the same injury for ages and needed to fix it) so he's lost form all players do when they don't play for ages.
Jason Robinson (near the end of his career)
Richard Hill (getting bloody close)

you lost 3 major influences in the team all seasoned all leaders. most teams do not survive this :/ look at the All Blacks they fell apart after the first world cup.. only now are they back on track.

Australia will have the same issues, there starting to lose alot of there senior players to age..

Janie it's called transition :p

as expected, dumb comment from a dumb ginga !! of course they would lose, theyve lost the players who pushed them and held them together :p

even you with your lack of brain cells, would normally work that out, oh and the welsh are playing bloody good, first time they have shown balls since the 70's when they were the top team.
