First they sack Symonds for being too Aussie, then they make Clarke captain, then they start sending blokes home for not doing their homework, now they've sent Warner home for a little push 'n' shove. And look were it's all got us!:har:
Has any body seen Boonie?
(btw it's an ODI :oops:)
Feuer Frei!

You missed the biggest joke of all haven't you?
Clarke is now a $6 Million Dollar man. :nope:
What a f'in joke.
Considering the PM gets approx. $250-ish thousand.
Now that is funny.

Must be the criminal side of them coming out :haha:
Mustn't laugh too much, it's taken us two decades to be able to hit the ball correctly.

A pretty sad state of affairs imo but I promise not to laugh as much as the cons did over the years when the roles were reversed :)
Look you go a crazy Welsh Bitch for PM and her crazy loopyness has infected Austrian cricket. :doh:

5-10 years max imho then the next generation will be up to the mark....hopefully.
The Ashes will be a good measurement of how the two nations compare.
Tell them, the next match they loose all of them will have to play in slutty red women's underwear. You watch them buck up and fly right.

Well there is some hope. The Lions got beat last night by a provincial side for the first time in 40 years. Well done Brumbies!
The Ashes however will be staying put this year I fear.:/\\!!

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-24/clarke-reportedly-quits-selection-role/4776676
They've sacked the foreign 'homework' coach and Clarke has resigned as a selector!
But wait for it, the best is yet to come: it looks like they're thinking of making Boof (Daren Lehmann, for the unacquainted) the coach! Yeesssss! :woot:
Bring on Boof! Maybe then the team can man-up some. :yep:
Look out poms!
I can't help but wonder if someone from Cricket Australia is actually a Subsim member who read this thread! :rotfl2:

I reckon the Aussies form problems are down to more than just Mickey Arthur.

Yeah, I know, you're right, but at least they may be able to start holding there heads high.

Well I honestly hope so for the sake of cricket and a keenly fought Ashes Series.
I reckon the Aussies form problems are down to more than just Mickey Arthur.
Rgr that. We could start off with a pair of openers that can actually score more than a handful of runs. The coach and the way the players reacted to him had a bit to do with it and Boof will no doubt command a lot more respect that Arthur.

Maybe we could have our own subsim "Ashes".:hmmm:
Make it a drinking contest...:hmmm:
Convicts vs The Crown.
Last one standing wins.
Need to think of prize:hmmm:

I am going for a 3-0 England win, I would have said 5 but you cant trust our bloody weather.
Jimbuna
06-24-13, 12:30 PM
I'd agree 3-0 if the weather interferes and 3-1 if it doesn't.
Any predictions on the Ashes score?
Yes Australia 5 for 5 about halfway through most of their innings.
Seriously I reckon we'll see 3 draws due to rain and 2 wins to the poms, unless you get a freak streak of settled weather for the next month.:har:

Not much chance of that...the weather I mean :)
The much criticised rotation policy is out the window now as well. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/ashes-to-ashes-rotation-policy-dead-declares-james-sutherland-20130625-2ouae.html
Things could be on the up. Too little too late though I reckon.

Rotation can work fine but only if you have enough quality in depth and I'm sure that isn't the case atm.

Don't you just love kids :D
Schoolchildren who won a competition to sing a song at the first Ashes Test match of the summer have been told to change the "cheeky" lyrics.
"We would even suggest that Shane Warne is recalled, but he is too worried about going bald."
"You can keep your koalas and your kangaroos / you can keep your coral reefs and even the sunshine too / but you'll never get the Ashes back."
The new song has the line: "No matter how far it seems - you shouldn't worry, just follow your dreams."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23080435
Not those ones. Cheeky little beggars.
I see we are making some runs against Somerset. The bowlers should have done better though.
News just in...
England win a 5-0 white wash victory over Australia.
"What's the bloody point those pommy barstards will never surrender the real ashes, get stuff you pommy tarts".

Has anyone considered letting the government play cricket, and the cricket team run the country? Just a thought. :hmm2:

The country couldn't be in much worse state. They are both second XI's either way.

Well, even if we loose 5 - 0, at least we can say we won a tour match! :haha:
