The old Enemy

[TarJak]

Australia v The Poms at cricket. Sporting rivalry at its best. but the poms apparently don't care for our supporters:

Can't think why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up2iqE7cwpM

C'mon Aussie c'mon c'mon.

Nikimcbee will have to wear two hats or choose a side.:arrgh!:

[BossMark]

Watching it now England 37 without loss will be watching in the pub later :D

[TarJak]

Watching it on the couch at home with a beer now. Poms 4-249.. Should be an interesting chase if the rain stays away.:arrgh!:

[BossMark]

Think this could be close at the moment Australia 136-4 off 30 overs

[Jimbuna]

Pretty close, the cons need to improve their run rate by another one per over but have five wickets down.

[Jimbuna]

Smelly socks :)

[BossMark]

My money is on England to win with the cons wanting over 8 an over with only 5 wickets left.

:hmmm:

I think we should have our own little subsim Ashes video tournament.

Tarjak makes an Aussie cricket video.
Senior Buna makes a cricket video.

I'll wear the winners hat. Loser buys the winner a bottle of their worst national beer.
:hmmm:

You don't fancy top ramen then?

If you need help boiling the water, I can write you some instructions. That is, if Mrs. Buna will let you operate the stove.:D

Steve and I are currently talking on Skype and debating the merits of such cuisine.

Oh and btw....they do have curry flavour in our local supermarket :)

Say hi to Steve from me.:salute: I'm trapped at work today.

Speaking of ramen, I'm a ramen snob, I like the expensive spicey korean ($1) ramen.

So I'm oh-ficially hi-jacking Tarjak's Ashes thread and re-naming it "Jim's ramen thread."

LOL....Steve says "Hi"

[nikimcbee]

So how much does it cost to skype between the US and UK?

[Sailor Steve]

Exactly nothing. Skype-to-Skype is always free. That's why we use it.

[nikimcbee]

No longer the "ramen" thread, re-naming the "skype" thread.

[nikimcbee]

So if I signed up for this "skype" thingy, I could chat with Jim? Does it have a geordie to McBee translator?:hmmm:

[Sailor Steve]

I could chat with Jim?
Only if he wanted to. Outlook dim. :dead:

[Oberon]

Outlook dim. :dead:

Oh come on Steve, we could allow him into the inner sanctum...for a small financial consideration...after all we do allow Neal the odd attendance :)

6 wicket victory and a 2-0 lead.

I wonder what cave Grant is hiding in :O:

[TarJak]

Can we talk about ramen instead?

Very ordinary performance this game by Australia.

Still three to go so all may not be lost :03:

[nikimcbee]

So how's this ashes thingy going then? It's been awfully quiet in this thread. I figure, Grant must have passed out and Jim has starved to death.:hmmm:

The ashes aren't at stake this time around, just a 5 game series of one day games. The Ashes are on next year twice in a row which will be a first.

We'll see how it goes as it's 2-0 up to the poms at the moment but the Australians shouldn't be written off as Jim pointed out a couple of posts up.

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/aussies-can-still-win-odi-series-bailey-20120703-21dry.html

Next game is supposed to be underway, but the dismal Pommy weather is causing delay after delay to the start. If they can't kick off soon it will be a washout.

[Jimbuna]

Still no play http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/c_jane24/Smileys/smilies%202/weathermanf3.gif

[nikimcbee]

Could be an Ozzy plot to avoid the field of battle?

Most likely :O:

[TarJak]

Well if we look at who benefits, then it must be. Unless England won all five matches Australia retains the title for number one ODI team. ;)

On current form they'll not retain that position for very much longer :)

[TarJak]

:O:They'll last to the end of this series thanks to the Pommy weather

[BossMark]

Aye that's bloody typical always pissing down in this country:wah:

[TarJak]

So is Jim at the match today or on his couch whyatching instead?

[Jimbuna]

So is Jim at the match today or on his couch whyatching instead?

Well you know the answer now seeing as we have just swapped numerous texts :)

Australia are currently 68 - 4 :O:

[BossMark]

Cons 96-6 :D

[TarJak]

Excellent bowling by the poms and some woeful batting by our mob. This one started badly for us and has not improved much at all as the innings has gone on. At least England can't take #1 spot away this series.:O:

[Jimbuna]

England on 136 - 2 with 17 1/2 overs left chasing a paltry 200.

I doubt the cons will get out of prison this time...unless they bribe the weather again :)

An 8 wicket victory will do nicely :smug:

It depends at what level but here is a list and there are a lot more than some people realise I suspect:
