shaun.lawson Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 SHED And funny how a whole bunch of people seemed to care when we were getting our arses handed to us on a plate in the Fourth Test, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Maroon Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 SHED And funny how a whole bunch of people seemed to care when we were getting our arses handed to us on a plate in the Fourth Test, isn't it? Fair point, but that does not justify England winning the Ashes as being the lead item on the BBC (EBC) news at 635pm tonight! That story was ahead of Megrahi fall out, fires in Athens, and Rangers winning at Tynecastle courtesy of a last minute controversial penalty!

Thunderstruck Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Cricket is for poofs. Here's a good party game: go and tell Ricky Ponting he's a poof. I would like to see what happens if a footballer got a football in the mouth at top speed from five yards. Mr Ponting got a cricket ball right there, spat out some blood and carried on.

IronJambo Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 got to say, i don't like cricket and i also know nothing about it. you've got to hand it to the english though, whilst they're much better than us at the game they're pretty shoit at the best of times but they keep on trying and now and again they get a result. they're very good losers and winners in this game too. apparently the last time they won the ashes, rather than gloat and stick up the opposition they opted instead to subtly release special commemorative "ashes" stamps to the exact price it costs to send a standard letter to oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.J Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Is being really good at cricket that much of a badge of honour though?

Buffalo Bill Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I believe the urn was in fact a one-off gift to Australia after their first series win and is NOT the trophy. I'm sure the trophy proper is a glass cup or something which is quite new to proceedings. I'm also sure that Shaun will be along in a second to tell me I'm totally wrong!

The proper urn (much bigger than the one posted earlier) is within a cabinet at Lord's. The only time it has left the country was when Prince Charles took it to Australia as part of the bi-centennial celebration of that nation 21 years ago.
