Went to bed at tea, woke up to headline "Siddle confident Australia can take first innings lead". I presumed it meant that England's tail had wagged big until I read on.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

You've seen your share of Australian batting collapses, I don't understand how that wasn't your first assumption.

Fair enough. As EMC said, it was because the comment was coming from Siddle. Presumed he couldn't finish the job.

I actually put 5 dollars on Mitchell Starc to lead the Australians in run scoring for the entire series @ 501.00 I think it was

That's not the worst bet ever. Clarke is barely match fit and the rest are a rabble. Maybe Siddle might get it

Yeh that is basically what I figured, just had a look and it was at 251.00 but still worth a flutter

I wish we could bet on the Brad Haddin Memorial Trophy for the batsman who gets themselves out "getting on top of the bowling" at the most ludicrously inappropriate moment.

Part of me hopes that this just ends up as a re-enactment of the 2005 Ashes, only with a much lower quality of play.
