The DECIDER - 5th Test Match, The Oval - England vs Australia

[User removed 4]

Great stuff, result never in doubt, can't believe some people started to worry and post negative thoughts !!

It should be remembered that Warne is now just an ex-Test cricketer and as such has to try to maintain his lifestyle by advertising hair transplants and being a media whore. I buy The Times but I can honestly say I have not read his column for about 18 months and will not in the future. He is just gobbing off and as such should be ignored or looked upon as an attention seeker.

What an odd opinion...

Why the f*** are people now booing Ponting too?

Is there such a thing as bad winners....

 

[tedebear]

he did critisise the pitch at The Oval, which was a little poor but its difficult fo speak 10 minutes after losing the Ashes

But he did rightly point out both sides batted on it, and as such didn't influence the result. Frankly the pitch wasn't great to be fair...

He was being honest

Anyone know who the last Aussie captain to lose The Ashes TWICE was?

I meant that it was poor of him to be critical of the pitch.. he never complained about the track at Headingly now, did he ?

Ponting is the first - I'm sure I've seen it written somewhere...

True.

I just think its a bit off.

Bad winners, Never mind im sure he will live.

He was asked a question and gave a straight answer? Whats so wrong with that - should he have said no comment?

Cheers, I couldn't think of another off the top of my head, but wasn't sure if I was missing someone.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke if that is indeed the case.

Alan Border, I'm sure it is.

Lots of Aussie wine on the way home I expect.

Alan Border, I'm sure it is.

He only lost them once, Ponting is the first Aussie to lose them twice.

As you have obviously not read the previous posts in this thread I will endeavor to help you from completely swallowing your foot.

" Why are they booing Ponting now ? "

My answer was " well, he did criticise the pitch at The Oval "

does that help you ?

Bloody hell your kidding!

Yes, his first two Ashes series IIRC.
