Need help reading Australian

Well done to the winners.

You might have to wait until next Sunday though for a repeat.

This is the second time I have seen this happen though. Back in 1992 we were playing the WI, and for an hour we inched towards the target with a wicket in hand. We had been driving around looking at countryside and headed for the pub to watch the end. Between getting out of the car, and entering the pub the final wicket fell. The West Indies won the series from there. Hopefully that is not an omen.

Three things lost us this one.

1. Losing McGrath.
2. Putting England into bat
3. That man Flintoff!!!

Always happy to take bets on Manchester Finn.



I\'m wondering why I always end up with egg on my face when I do this though.

What you should really be worrying about is how ordinary the Aussie bowling attack will be when Glen and Shane retire!

Yeah I agree long term outlook for aussie bowling aint looking too good imo

 

[paintingploddy]

Retire, surely not. We\'ll be having them play until they\'re 70. Unless Shane finds a new girlfriend of course - but then we will probably be able to clone him. But by then Glen\'s son will have grown up and we\'ll have another McGrath (unless he ends up playing for England)

what are you wishing to wager Mr Plodd?
i feel cocky enough to bet some minis on the next match........hey it\'s not like they will ever get painted by me, but i\'m stupid enough to put em on the line!

Just make sure you go and chuck more cricket balls on the pitch while the Aussies are warming up Stuart!lol

 

[paintingploddy]

Name a range and general figure type. Can do most will tell you if they are unavailable. Then name a number between 1 and 5. That many figures/blisters.

 

[Medved]

got a gw carnifex and a rackham guardian of the runes that i\'m willing to put on the line for the next test. whaddaya think?

 

[paintingploddy]

Sounds good, are you interested in some Warmachine? Or would you prefer something a bit more oddball?

 

[Legacy Account]

Haha! Getting serious now. How about plain old HARD CASH?!

 

[Medved]

i\'m up for some warmachine and other stuff. my wolfen and carnifex are now moved to the \'bet against the aussie shelf\' don\'t go out and buy anything specially for it.....just stuff you have lying around and don\'t mind going to an englishman!

 

[paintingploddy]

Done deal then. It should be interesting if Lee can\'t make it. Our record at old trafford seems to be good.

 

[paintingploddy]

McGrath and Lee look like they are fit!!!

:bouncy::flip::bouncy::flip:lollollol

 

[Legacy Account]

Yeah, really fit!lol They only stuck McGrath in for the psychology.....

Anyone get the feeling that the worm is turning?!!

Come on Vaughany!!
