"Under The Lid" Thread

[benchmark00]

Not as funny as selecting Michael Beer to be fair

Yaah it's ridiculous, but if I were an English supporter the last thing I'd be doing is rubbishing him before he plays. Could really come back to bite you.

We can just apply Richard's law and say it was a **** selection anyway

You should put liquid eyeliner on the top and pencil on the bottom, but you can use pencil on the top lid too.

Spambot genius.

Heheh, the fans have a new song.

Slip inside Ricky Ponting’s mind
He’s trying to find
Some new players to play

He wants to play his older team
But that’s just a dream
They’re too old to play

He said he’d start a revolution in his head
But he’s been through all the players A to Z
Now there’s just a summertime of doom
If he loses the Ashes race
He is going to lose his place
Losing three would simply tear his heart out

So Ricky can wait
Shane Warne is too late
And there’s no Glenn McGrath
Gilchrist’s had his day
And don’t look back to Langer
He cannot play

Those lyrics are very good. Be brilliant to hear that in full cry if we are on top.

Another original song from the Barmy Army. Can't wait to find out where they are from and who they support as well.

Yeah, they could just sit there in silence instead, or even better shout Aussie Aussie Aussie!

My living room holds more people than most English cricket grounds... and thankfully I don't have yellow teeth, pale skinned ****wits singing rugby songs in it all day.

More people will be in line for a mid strength VB during Lunch on boxing day than those who attend an entire English home test

Surprised to find you so heavily critical of Australians.

VB? Jesus Christ.

I've had fishbowls I'd rather drink.

Fishbowl was probably bigger than most English grounds too..

It's interesting this bagging of Australian crowds. I'm sure I've seen a lot of matches in England where the grounds are less than full, notwithstanding their small size. There are also thousands less Poms out here this time than the past few tours. Suppose it's the economy there, dunno.

Probably influenced by Botham's hilarious 'spot the Aussie' feature at Brisbane on day 5, tbh.

You may have missed the point, not really sure tbh, but I was suggesting that during the Lunch break even those queuing for refreshing beverages from our brilliant climate would heavily out number the sorry number that fill your match box grounds

Most Australians have jobs and stuff, unlike your poor excuse of an economy

I have a feeling that if you had a decent team, a few fans might have found a way to get to the match.
