*Official* India tour of England 2025 General Discussion

[PaulLennon]

Hi Paulie! Are you well? I'm glad you've rediscovered the power of typing. Good for you.

I'm good Burgey.

Let's see if India wins this series in England. Even if they don't, not something Aus has done in nearly 25 years.

 

[PaulLennon]

The last time Aus won in England Mark Waugh was an active player.

 

[Burgey]

Are you ok?

How come you didn't hang about to discuss these things as they happened? I was worried about you, because you seemed very happy discuss things after the Perth test, but curiously went missing after Brisbane and no one heard from you for half a year. Were you deeply wounded or merely embarrassed?

The last time you posted, Ravi Ashwin was.

 

[PaulLennon]

He has won in Australia twice.

And hasn't been retired for 23+ years.

More like busy.

Nothing embarrassing about a youngish Indian team in transition giving a fighting performance in an AWAY series.

More embarrassing would be an Australian team filled with modern greats NEVER winning in Ind and England.

@capt_Luffy and I weren't even born the last time Australia won in England. That's fun to think about

 

[Burgey]

Australia won at Lord's in 2023 mate. Are you two? That would explain the maturity exhibited in your posts.

Meanwhile, Paulie, if England gets off to a good start and things are looking bad for India, will you mysteriously disappear for another six months, or will you stick around for a change?

Series wins, Burgey. Even you know that's what he is talking about.

I will do what I want lol. My existence isn't confined to a cricket forum.

 

[Burgey]

Paulie, the issue isn't about who's won where. It's about who's hung around after yapping it up and being a **** when things looked good regardless of the result, instead of shitting themselves and buggering off at the first whiff of grapeshot.

Thank **** you weren't at Lone Pine.

If you can call it that. It is when India's winning though.

This is just an internet forum, @Burgey. Touch some grass.

No one is obligated to hang around if they don't want to.

And to think we remember (kinda for me) England winning in Australia....

 

[Burgey]

Did you just coincidentally decide to touch some grass as the backside fell out of India's tour here, only to return now, presumably as the grass burns off and dies?

Just googled it.

The battle was part of a diversionary attack to draw Ottoman attention away from the main assaults being conducted by British, Indian and New Zealand troops around Sari Bair, Chunuk Bair and Hill 971, which became known as the August Offensive.



Even here England and India keep winning.

 

[Burgey]

Paulie, you should ask for a custom title - "Stoic" would be a good fit.

No such thing happened. Both the MCG and SCG matches were close.

Touching grass more to do with your pathological attachment to this forum. There are other more productive ways of living out your retirement you know.

You should probably keep reading if you think anyone other than the Turks won at Gallipoli mate.

Far from retired. Certainly not retiring from tipping a bucket of **** on you now you're back.

Paulie, like Rohit, opted out of the back half of the series.
