Right now I couldn’t give a rats ass about the ashes.
Because Australia have a home series against the South Africans to win.
So KP, all the English press and anyone else who thinks there is only one series in the world can kiss my ass.
If we lose to South Africa at home, 2000 and 5 will feel like a fucking good time to be alive.
Australia will no longer be the worlds best team, and it’s been a long time since I have had to deal with that reality.
I know they aren’t very good.
I have mentioned this robustly, but neither is any other side in the world.
South Africa still have a shaky top 7, and their bowlers didn’t impress in England.
India look the real deal at times, and look like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon at others.
Sri Lanka got smoked in Australia, and then looked asleep against the Windies, but are currently riding the Mendis steam train of love.
England just lost to South Africa at home, so I am wasting key strokes here.
If Australia can stay number one through their transission stage, we may see another decade of them on top.
But if South Africa beat them at home, well, my my, my reality matrix will be seriously fucked up.
Down will become up, Orwellian mathematics will be applied, healthy food will taste good, reality tv will make sense, and Natalie Portman will lose her appeal.
I am sorry South Africa I am not ready for that life change right now, so for the good of my mental health you will have to lose.
You know, like you always do against Australia.
When is the fun?
17th of december I believe.
Be here then to your views on Smithy’s men.
Off Topic: And I want to vote in this week’s poll but where’s the “bird” in the choices? Don’t ask me why, but he reminds me of a bird…flapping wings and all…and that’s what the poll is about, na?
SA to choke for the umpteenth time.Ps- Is McGain that good ?Pps- Your honor has been restored in my profile!
Soulberry, sorry I had no idea he resembled a bird. Damith, Is he that good, or is he just way better than Beau Casson, it’s one or the other. And cheers.
Well, no one could be as good as our boy Mendis :P
smith will be picking his ipl captain warne’s brains to get the better of punter. besides, the indians should have dented aussie confidence by then – now that india’s fab four face the axe thanks to the lankans.
UncleJ, Here’s a surefire way to beat India. It’s been working for 50 years now. And I reckon it’ll work for another 50 years. Just get Bryce McGain or somebody who’s never faced India, and he’ll pick up like 12 wickets on debut, and the series will be yours. I am not talking about Mendis’ exploits. I can forgive them for slipping up against a really accurate and talented guy like Mendis. But D. Prasad? Giving D. Prasad 5 wickets in the Test match? Now that’s the stuff of legend. Just give India a decent debutant and they’ll fold. Fold like they are playing poker against an Android, a Jedi knight and a messiah.
Interesting theory Anon.Even Oram ran through India regularly is his debut series.
erm, have you, like the poms, forgotten that there is a series against India before the South Africa encounter or have you, like the poms, decided to give India a pass?Is this what a month in England has done to you?Cheers,
So you’ve noticed the Stockholm Syndrome thing too Homer…I bet he’s drinking tea and speaking in a funny voice too
Thanks LB – my worst fears have been confirmed then!!And to think I was just kidding when I spoke of a Victorian leg spinner in the Mushtaq Ahmed mold touring India along with the Commonwealth XI in December!Cheers,
Surely you mean drinking warm beer, leg break?Besides, he would have been talking in a funny voice already!
India hasn’t been forgotten – the site’s banner name does, after all, proclaim that we are proud supporters of the “McGain to India” push. But Dave’s right about Jrod already speaking in a funny voice.
I bet he’s drinking tea and speaking in a funny voice tooNow I get it…why I haven’t heard Uncle’s podcasts in a while.
Homer, I was fired up about the India series, but then they went and lost the plot against Sri Lanka and I lost interest. Anon, nice theory, didn’t Klusener take an ass full of wickets on debut against India as well. THERE WILL BE A PODCAST SOON PEOPLE, I promise.
