Aussie ashes coverage

[Billy Mays]

Just for shits and giggles I've been trawling t'internet to see what the self styled champions of fair play have had to say about the Second Test. Apparently the decision not give Bopara out is a big talking point. Yeah could have made all the difference if you'd got that one Cobbers. Fair dinkum etc.

Link to some Sydney daily if anyone is interested.

More to the point, why are we on NSC at 4.30 in the morning?!

 

[Billy Mays]

It is (was) 11.30 at night for me. What's your excuse? Shit the bed?

 

[Notters]

no, I live in Brighton

 

[Billy Mays]

Time to get some kip for me now. Let's hope that by the time I sit down with a coffee in the morning Punter has had yet another mare and England are well on their way. Already planning the email to my mate in Melbourne!

Cheers from NE Florida.

They usually have a good sense of fair play; Last time I went to Aus in 1004 England had just won the RWC and everyone I spoke to agreed that England had deserved it. They also thought that the Aussi PM, John Howerd, was a miserable bastard for not being magnanimous in defeat.

In fairness, it's not the main headline, even on the paper you've quoted:

Bah humbug. They're rotters and bounders and they're going to get thrashed!

Do the ozzys really give a shit though ? The few I've spoken too couldnt care less.

Obviously there are a few who care.

I dunno ?

Most people couldn't give a f*** about the cricket

It's football season and most of us are worrying about that.

Erm, no it isn't!

Only a few care.

Because it's football season they have something actually exciting to watch instead of the borefest that is test cricket.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Erm, no it isn't!

It's Australian Rules football season.

The biggest sport in Australia.

Touche!

In Victoria, surely.

Would that still apply if Australia were winning?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

In Victoria, surely.

All over.

There's an AFL side in every state bar Tasmania but they are AFL mad.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Would that still apply if Australia were winning?

Yup.

Wasn't much talk about or coverage of the first test even though Australia nearly won it.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

They'll be WHINGING tomorrow.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

They'll be WHINGING tomorrow.

Actually the most talked about thing tommorrow around Australia will be the final of Masterchef Australian version that just finished .
