Lionel Richie posted:I tell you what lads all we've heard this year is antipodeans going on about how they're going to hammer England and how funny it's going to be, when's it gonna start like? Well, I said England would challenge us. I thought we would bowl a bit better but I can't attack the bowlers who have to defend terrible batting but I had no doubt the following would be true Chuckles and Broad are very good in England Our batsman are very bad in England

Even Marcus North, who most people probably remember as a poo poo batsman in a poo poo period for Australia scored two hundreds and a 96 in his only England tour. I don't know if it's entirely technique problems either. It's also probably Lehmann and Clarke's hyper-aggressive philosophy too. quote:The worst thing about a heap of Australian supporters at the moment (thankfully not all of us in here) is those that think the current Australian team are unbeatable, we have a really strong pace bowling line up and then Steven Smith and half a Michael Clarke in the batting stocks. We got totally smashed not long ago vs Pakistan and I think these Ashes will be pretty close. If Starc and Johnson are anywhere near their best then I think we will win, but Johnson has had issues in England previously and Starc has only played a handful of tests. You know there is going to be some classic lolstralia batting at some point and we are rolled for 200. Other than the Ashes and maybe India most Australians don't care about overseas tours. It feeds this dumb mentality that we're unstoppable. Seams fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Probably a good time to drop Lyth. Give the new guy an easy, no pressure dead Test to ease into.

I am I mis-remembering? Why is Warne is calling Bell the Stiffler? Wasn't Bell tormented as being the Shermanator? He surely looks like the Shermanator.

Has anyone else seen the Shane Warne documentary that they show on Sky occasionally? It's amazing, in a really bad way - the man has no self-awareness at all and the whole things comes across like a cricket version of Spinal Tap crossed with a Chris Lilley show. He's got this *amazing* painting in his house that he had commissioned - it's supposed to be his ultimate party and it's just the most  thing.

Bell's got out for one twelve times in his career, the most for a special batsman beating Sachin's previous record of eleven so bell is now officially better than tendulkar

The only concern I have is if he leaks runs to a crazy degree. The aim of the game is taking wickets. Johnson is a better wicket taker imo but Starc will be even better again.
