How do you rate W.G. Grace?

All this cheating and yet they walk about all holier-than-thou, we were top of the world you should play cricket our way, we do it the best, chest thumping nonsense.

Sickening really.

Man, you're lucky you weren't living in Australia during 1995-2005. The chest-thumping was at its zenith during those years.

Would have been sufficient tbh

Everyone should play cricket the Australian way. The results speak for themselves. Been the superior cricketing nation throughout the sport's history. in fact, the only times we haven't have been when we've stepped away from playing the Australian way.

1996-2007 were the worst. The Howard years. WAC that man is.

Moved here in '93......lived through all of it and it's fair to say it turned my heart to stone where Australian cricket is concerned.

 

[cnerd123]

All this Aussie bashing across various threads...CW is so great.


Except for the #CheatingAussies

 

[Adders]

Who were you going for in the Ashes ****??

 

[S.Kennedy]

The only Aussies I like are the ones that play for Durham.

And Harold Bishop. He's alright.

 

[cnerd123]

Who were you going for in the Ashes ****??

Calm your ****. Just cuz the Aussies are ****s doesn't make you 'Oh lets invade the whole planet and force our culture and language upon them, drawing artificial borders as we leave so they continue to squabble for centuries to come' birts any better.

I mean come up with some proper cuisine first, how on Earth am I supposed to root for a team that has beans from a can as a staple of their diet.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Who were you going for in the Ashes ****??

If there were multiple countries in the Ashes, ***** could be supporting a new one every week.

 

[cnerd123]

there are no winners in an Ashes series. Not even Cricket.

It's why we confine all of it to its own Subforum.

 

[Gnske]

You hate us because you ain't us

 

[harsh.ag]

The Ashes subforum is the 4chan of CW

Nah not true. The Ashes is a win for all. Once in a while you get brilliant series like '05 and Johnson in '13. Other times you get things like 60 all out or Cook keeping the Aussies in the field for 2 days. Either way you get to watch England or Australia lose which is always nice to see.

This last one was thoroughly boring though.

 

[Dendarii]

True, but that's tempered by having to see one of them win.

All these jealous non-ashes fans. You're just all sad that you can't play in the greatest rivalry in world sport.

I'd probably do the same thing if I was them tbh. It would be pretty sad to follow a sport yet my team not even be involved in the main event of the sport.

I doubt I'd even know cricket existed if it wasn't for the Ashes, in all seriousness. It wouldn't be anywhere near as much on the Australian sports radar

India v Pakistan could have been an ''Asian Ashes'' if the two actually bothered to play against each other.

These Aussies and Brits think their rivalry is the 'biggest one' in cricket.

Like bitch please, India and Pakistan have literally been at war with each other within our lifetimes. Your tiny container of burnt wood has nothing on actual dead bodies.

Just like the Sachin thing this is just something you guys have no comprehension of yet try to act like you do

They never even play each other though, that's the point
