The Inevitable 2009 Ashes Series ThreadIt had to happen - the Ashes are coming soon. Will the Aussies find someone capable of bowling spin? Will Swann fly for England? Will Onions make the Aussies weep? Will they waltz to Strauss' tune? How many more bad puns will I come up with during the series?
Discuss here.... |

I know, the idea of the Aussies finding a decent spinner...utterly ridiculous. I haven't seen the full squad, but is it a safe bet to say they haven't picked Bryce McGain?

So, here we go again then....
Will the Aussies face Monty's charge? For whom will the Bell toll? Will KP drive the Aussies nuts? Will England put the Aussies to the Broad sword???? Just one thing left to say..... "And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land" Bring on the Convicts.... |

Well, at this precise moment, who gives a fig what's going to happen in 18 months time? England have the Ashes back! 
(To the tune of 'Three Lions') "They're coming home They're coming home They're coming, Ashes coming home!" Cheer up Ricky Ponting! I'm sure someone will show you the way to the Channel 9 commentry box! And when you get there you'll find some of your old ates from when Australia used to win series in England!
I'm sorry, but I am going to have to bask in this for a while before I start thinking about South Africa this winter - they might be a better side than last time England went there, when they had that incompetant bullying bafoon, Ray Jennings as their coach. That's enough of that - back to the basking...... |
