I'm with Bruce, Don and Munch on this - I don't think we need this on the forum.

I did refer your posting to the Naim Umpire some hours ago. Nothing has happened. I hope this is not the direction this forum is going in. We are missing Adam already.
And yes, I do have a sense of humour, but I am not programmed to burst into convulsive laughter every time somebody mentions genitalia.

I was off-duty. Now back on, and appropriate action taken.
Oh, and well done England..! Commiserations, Australia..

Sorry Chillkram, I had to slash them a bit to keep the page tidy. I think we get the idea, though...

It's better than that Dean, we haven't beaten the Aussies at Lords since 1934....certainly not in 2005......not even during Botham's Ashes in 1981!

Oh all right, well done England!

Best possible result for the series, Steve, as the Aussies will come back fighting. At least we are assured of a competition now. Should be cracking!

Agreed, Mark. I just get a bit grumpy when the natural order of things is disrupted!
Posted on: 20 July 2009 by Chillkram
Just for you Steve.....
Posted on: 20 July 2009 by Guido Fawkes
Oh no ... I was hoping they'd just give it up and throw in the towel because that is what we did in the last Ashes series, but I'm prone to wishful thinkingquote:the Aussies will come back fighting
It is great to see two good teams battling it out in reasonably good spirit.

Pietersen to miss rest of Ashes.
The ECB's chief medical officer Nick Peirce said that Pietersen had seen the world's leading Achilles specialist and a decision was made to operate on his right Achilles tendon.
"A number of short-term measures were considered but having been reviewed by the specialist, who flew into London from Sweden specifically, it was felt that anything else would put the tendon at risk and jeopardise his long-term recovery," explained Peirce.
"The operation involved a small incision and trimming of the blood vessels and nerves around the inflamed tendon and appears, at this early stage, to have been routine."
An opportunity for Bell probably (averaging 80 this season) and a boost to the Aussies who will still be missing Lee.

Based on his recent performances whilst injured it's better he takes the time out to get fit.
It'd be very nice indeed if Bell averages 80 over the next few weeks

Not going too well for England at the moment. Johnson and Hilfenhaus are getting the ball to swing as well as Anderson and Onions did.
