Pressure - what pressure? 09:25am on 07 Aug 2009 #25 - What "Anti-English" songs were palyed at the 'Gabba?? I don't remember hearing about that...
Edgbaston 'aura' can lift England 09:54am on 30 Jul 2009 "Post #6: I don't think it's fair to have a go at Strauss. He was asked a straight question and gave an honest answer"

Just like Ponting answering questions about English time-wasting in Cardiff yet it didn't stop the indignant England supporters tearing strips off him...

We're gonna win 3-1!!
Australia outdone by a superior side 8:58pm on 12 Nov 2008 It's hilarious that you think Roebuck writes without a bias against Australia. Pretty much everyone but you can see it.

I've followed cricket long enough to see quite a few false dawns from the Indian side. Seems like more of the same here.
Australia outdone by a superior side 5:42pm on 12 Nov 2008 Jovial - how do you know I am not one of the "first inhabitants" of Australia. Very presumptious of you.

And I cannot fathom what they (or I) have to do with the fact that Roebuck is English, not Australian.

Roebuck's Anti-Australian agenda is clearly evident in his writing and he struggles to view cricket involving Australia objectively.
Australia outdone by a superior side 4:37pm on 12 Nov 2008 "if you know Peter Roebuck the great legendry cricket writer or Mihir Bose for that matter or even all the journalists in the English Press who covered this series. Well, just to brush up your knowledge Peter Roebuck had this to say in his own words"The greatest rivalry in Test cricket for some years has been the one between Australia and India." Well that takes quiet some courage for an Australian to say publically"

Peter Roebuck is neither legendary nor Australian...

He is heavily syndicated in Indian newspapers.

He who pays the piper calls the tune...
Australia outdone by a superior side 2:53pm on 12 Nov 2008 "Slightly negative", LOL
Beware a wounded Australia 08:48am on 11 Nov 2008 The English conditions will suit S. Clark perfectly. He will have a huge series. And I'd love to see us take along someone like Moises Heriques for the experience, I really rate him.

Add to that the fact that the English tour is popular with the Aussies because of the common language and culture, the short distances and the good atmosphere and I think we can retain the Urn again.
Beware a wounded Australia 5:24pm on 10 Nov 2008 @ #35 - we're not discoounting India's series win, it's just that the Ashes is one of the biggest contests in world sport, not just cricket.

The crowds will be bigger than 2,000 in the UK next year...
Beware a wounded Australia 2:40pm on 10 Nov 2008 Cricket is Australia's national sport, not a back-seat one.

And, I'd happily not play India anymore and put up with their whinging when things go against them. We could play the Poms, the Saffas and the Windies exclusively...
Beware a wounded Australia 12:53pm on 10 Nov 2008 Who are you, Kash?? The Ashes means EVERYTHING to the Aussie players and public.

We play hard and fair against each other and don't go off crying to our boards when things don't go our way on the field.

I can't wait for next year!!
