BTW here is the Aussie success story - David Saker is England's acclaimed bowling coach. He has called every wicket correctly and picked the bowlers accordingly. Bresnan for the MCG was inspired.
What happened to Hauritz and Stuart Clark? Agreed on Smith, he's never a number 6. Hit and giggle cricket is killing the Tests.
I would also like to point out that it wasn't so long ago that the Aussie press (surely as balanced and fair as the Poms…
MCG day 2.
Ponting's meltdown. A man under pressure?! If he's sacked, what price Warney making a comeback for the SCG?
I don't want to take anything away from the English batsmen but what on earth are you throwing at us? You should roll up that wic…
I don't want to intrude on private grief (ahem) but its the fielding which has surprised me the most. The poor captain can't believe what he's witnessing. David Gower made a point which was new to me: Aussie fielding has actually not been that good …
Crack out the Dougie Bollinger + you lot are fielding like Pakistan.
Two mediocre teams. Will anyone get 20 wickets?! Not at Adelaide, surely. I think England's attack is better but that really isn't saying much.
Good call on the podium, Roo. Well, well, well, all the way back to where we began, in the desert. I've got a funny feeling it'll be the guy who won in Bahrain, if you can remember back that far ...
We're coming to get you. Mind you, we are flying Qantas ...
Ashes: not feeling the fever yet over a clash of two mediocre teams. Are you lot arguing before its even begun? Is Clarke that unpopular?
Yes, Alonso now. I think there's a lot to be said for the self-assurance of someone who's seen it all before. I hope Webbo gets it but it seems like the fates are against him. His bad luck has returned but he was given a chink of light when Vettel's…
"A marvellous read, once I put it down I couldn't pick it up".
Tres amusement.
BTW, its a beautifully sunny autumnal day in London town. So nice to have seasons.
post race:
Banzai Kobayashi! Shame about Kubica.
STILL too close at the top for RBR to impose team orders. I think its going to come down to consistency and/or bad luck deciding the winner.
Rules is rules - she and England runner 1 both ballsed up. Your girl was let down by terrible officiating by the IAAF and then the Aussie officials. Don't blame us, you whingeing ... err,
Far too much swimming for my liking. Its biased against countries like mine where you have to 'grease-up' before entering the water. Anyway, as you know, artistic gymnastics is my thing.
I think India has shown the world how it can host any sort of…
manlio, God performed fewer resurrections than you.
Can this comment really only be from a year old thread?>...

21 points; its still too close for RBR to order Seb to play second fiddle. Webbo admitted in the BBC interview he is very close to demanding it now. He knows this could be his last chance. Its all about consistency and avoiding silly mistakes which …
Massa's engineer Rob Smedley should not have been put in the position he was. Domenicali should grow some balls.
But:
a) Smedley is going to be bollocked for adding 'sorry' to message.
b) TOIT under Todt would never allow broadcasters access to it…
You can take the team away from Todt but you can't take the Todt out of the team, or something like that.
Rule 39.1: "Team orders which interfere with a race result are prohibited," after a post-race stewards inquiry, Ferrari were fined $100,000 …
BTW I think it was a pretty even split at Lord's between support for the teams. I think, in all fairness, all cricket matches should be played in London. You know it makes sense ...
Tasty ...
Red Bull were facing accusations of rank civil war on Sunday night after an extraordinary British Grand Prix won by Australia’s Mark Webber ended with the one half of the team’s garage allegedly taunting the other with a body part from th…
Just before the start, Horner told the BBC his drivers 'knew what they had to do'. Hmmm - did he really expect Webbo to follow 'the leader'? Seb tried to wipe him down the pitwall. A right little Schumi.
post race:
Well done Webbo, absolutely stuck it to the Austrian idiots who run RBR. What are they thinking about - clear favouritism towards Seb now (re: new parts).
I thought that after re-siging Mark (and forgetting about Kimi and Kubica) they w…
Ironic that both Oz and the UK have experienced their first hung parliaments in decades. The multi-party system here made various coalitions possible but the obvious one emerged after five days of bargaining.
We live a post-ideological age. Apparen…
