Just trying to wind old Gumby up.

The fish saw the bait and went straight past it without pausing.........

Hey jow!

Just curious, how'd you blokes go overnight...(yesterday your time??)

Normal service was resumed I think Midge

It's all part of the strategy. Keep Brett Lee out for the first couple of matches. Get a couple of the boys to muck up a bit off the pitch, Symonds is always good for that. Even Warney's doing his bit and he's not in the side. Get the Brit media worked up into a frenzy about these badly behaved Aussie louts, poor form blah blah. Then quietly wheel out McGrath and Lee, with a sprinkle of Hogg, let Symonds off the leash, tell Martyn to start batting with both hands again. I love it when a plan comes together.

The thing I notice is that every time a team tours anywhere they start out really poorly. Any team in any country. After a couple of weeks they get themselves sorted out and start to play decent cricket. Get their act together whatever.

Seems pretty early to be announcing anything except Australia didn't play up to their potential as yet.

Oi, Stevo's not only got a piccy of one of them Cherman Kars as his avatar, he's described as being a senior member when at his age, he's still only a pup

Oh, by the way, dashing good show at the cricket.

I understand that the Brit officials were concerned that an aussie whitewash of the series might dampen the mood in the old dart and so they requested that we lose a few games. Knowing how difficult that is to do, especially considering the opposition (not to mention Bangladesh), and knowing that our boys tend to forget political subtleties, our boys decided to get the losses over and done with first so they could concentrate on playing the game.

Cheers

any similarity between the above scenario and reality is purely hysterical and you should go take your green pill now

It is with regret I have to report the results of Wimbledon and the aussie/english cricket match. :eek:

Now if I was a young man again, you lot wouldn't dare cross the equator.

Jow, if you were a young man again, methinks you'd be what we used to call a ten pound pom

I did have the ticket (£100 personal fare to Perth 1955) but circumstances forced a change of heart.

Ah well Woody, I think we all realise that you are an Aussie "at heart".

Speaking of which, make sure you follow dr's orders o.k.

It appears that Mr Warne has adopted a fine Royal Navy tradition with regard to this statement, 'when we cross the equator we discard our winter uniform and marriage vows and pick them up again on the return voyage'.

Woody.
1. I was a Ten pound pom.(In 1966)
2. I once lived in Newton Abbott.(My parents lived in Torquay)
3. I went to school in Totnes.
4. I'm a naturlised Australian.
5. I support the Aussies in all sports, even the soccer team.(Why wouldn't I?)
6. Warnie is not the Messiah, he's just a naughty boy! :confused:
7. I concur 100% with Silent and Craig.
8. Last but not least, you look after yourself.

[Daddles]

Jack, stop trying to sound serious and sensible ... it's working

Returning to the workshop today after much pestering of wife. I need to make a stool (4 legged type) to rest my feet on, this will stop me crossing the old legs at the computer.

Actually I am most probably fitter now than 4 weeks ago. The ticker is getting more oxygen. So if anyone notices in themselves that they are puffing or slowing down , have a think about it.
