As the title says - An Australian to discuss where it all went wrong in the Ashes.

Personally I blame your top/middle order for not performing and of course England having a couple of blinding days in the series. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Too many leaves on the ground...................  Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

535d m-sport Platinum grey and a few extras.... Gone

X5 3.0 sd in Space Grey, 20's, Dynamic Pack, Memory Pack, Media Pack, Tow Pack, Rear DVD, Panoramic Sunroof, Steps, 7 Seat Pack, Reversing Camera with moving lines, programmable park heat, etc etc etc - Gone

Range Rover Sport Santorini, privacy, dvd, towpack GONE!!!

It was the pitch.....But then again in defence of my ozzie cousins, the tally now stands at Australia winning 31 and England 28. Ops 29.

VA only a few on here, the majority of us in the ANZ forum that post are English i am afraid. However today was nice and quiet in the office , no raucous shouts of ozzie ozzie ozzie, so a result really in that way, banter and baiting at minimum level.


I bet KIWIRRS is happy, the AB's got the result on Saturday night in the Bledisloe/Tri-nations game in Sydney, not a great game for the neutral.. but had its moments  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Is that that thing which looks like Baseball for pensioners?  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

No Baseball is another word for Rounders - a sport my my 10 year old daughter plays. Cricket is a way of life and an excuse to get out of the house for 5 days for one long p@$$ up. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

On that basis I think I should start cricket, too!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Just be warned that after 5 days of play it is likely to end in a draw. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Ashes Quotes from the BBC website:

I woke up yesterday morning, face down on my bed, still wearing my cricket whites and stinking of sweat and champagne. So I think it's fair to say it was a lively night!"
Graeme Swann parties like it's 2005 after England's Ashes triumph.

"Harmison was bowling, but deep down I was thinking, 'Don't get him out, I want to finish this off!' Alastair Cook took the catch and grabbed the ball. I tried to wrestle him for it in the changing rooms afterwards but it turns out he is freakishly strong. Cook looks a bit of a wimp...but his youthful looks betray a man of steel."
Swanny can't get the ball off his team-mate after taking the final wicket.

"Andrew Flintoff asked me when I came out to bat if I had hired a PR firm this week!"
Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting after receiving two standing ovations at the Oval, following boos earlier in the series.

"If I had known you got a bottle of champagne for run-outs I would have practised more!"
Freddie Flintoff to Aggers after receiving the TMS 'champagne moment' award following his crucial run-out of Ponting.

"I'm no different from fellas in the crowd - if I wasn't playing I'd probably be sat with them.''
Freddie will always be one of the boys.

"I have been in a few adverts but I have not got the body to be posing in my underwear like David Beckham!"
Stuart Broad thinks his new-found fame is a load of pants.

"Can we play you every year?"
Lily Allen tweets for joy at England's triumph - and rubs the Aussies' noses in it.
