Explain it to me, simply, if you can. I'm interested but it really makes no sense.

Hahaha, I love how you explained that. I love some backyard cricket.

Cricket is where you play for 5 days and end up with a draw, right?

Yet I still enjoy it.

What's the supposed to mean? Should be a good upcoming Ashes series this one.

Apparantly Andrew Symonds has been sent home from England tonight because of more off field indiscretions.

Nothing, just a bit of banter =P

Yeah, I just read about Symonds. Missed training this morning or something. Looks like his international career is over.

It should be a great series. England are in some really good form at the moment.

I think Cricket Australia are looking at terminating his contract which would most definitely see his international career come to an end. It's a shame because he's such a talented and important player.

i have no idea whether India is in the ashes seires or not ( for me nubness)
but i do know that when we play England, we'll whoop their asses, and we'll do the same for Australia...

[AussieBoy]

apparently Roy went on a bit of a bender after watching the State of Origin in England, and went of drinking without telling anyone all over a period of 48hrs, dumbest prick alive, the ppl who would kill to have the talent and opportunities he has, if i can bloody restrain from having a beer at the pub during Origin and i only gotta do apprentice work the next day, im sure he could with at twenty20 world cup coming up

The Ashes is just England vs. Australia competing against each other in five test matches. Although it's perhaps the most anticipated series on our cricketing fixture.

We'll get India next time. No sweat.

I don't think it matters very much though because it was only a Twenty20 practice match if I recall correctly? There's definitely a lot of cricket being played in the UK at the moment. I'm looking forward to our 09/10 summer of cricket. Have you ever been to a cricket match, Neeps?
