the ashes is a game of fun, all ive heard is, they­ shouldnt have won, the better team lost, the aussies­ will regain in 18 months. we should be burning the­ sellectors at the stake and picking a compadent team to­ really give those ausies a game. and yes i know i cant­ spell lol

Warne you suck

You only deserve to win if you actually win...

Ben for the Sydney test do you remember how many­ decisions went against us??? I'm sorry to see that­ ur so ignorant about that fact! Please just google and­ ull get ur answers...we would never have been in that­ position in those last 5 overs if your sooo honest­ (joking) Ponting and ur equally honest 'walker'­ Gilly had not claimed catches that were never­ there.....and there is also news abt Channel Nine­ uncovering some ball tampering but since u guys r­ sponsored by CA they conveniently edited that segment­ where Clarke and Hayden were clearly caught picking the­ seam!! (I was in Sydney at that time and I had caught­ this on TV).....such a disgrace! Anyways if you still­ claim that Aussies won fairly that test??? then ill not­ argue anymore....i live in Australia and yet im honest­ enough to admit that to any Aussie that u guys werent­ fair winners....there is no shame in living with­ dignity...cheers!

rushad as i said to phillip where did i mention­ spelling and grammar in my post if your gonna have a go­ at me at least quote what i said,i said educated and if­ you were you wouldnt resort to calling people­ brainless cause they dont agree with you, as for the­ sydney test fiasco with about 5 overs left to play on­ the last day india lost 3 wickets in 9 balls so the­ only fiasco was their batting and did they not threaten­ to go home if the umpires were not changed for the rest­ of the series ? good sportsmen aye? and as for gk read­ the post i said beat a good team away ,for the record i­ am not aus or english but have lived in both countries­ and have found bad sportsmen in every country ive lived­ in but i have have met lots more good sportsmen in­ these countries and by the way i am fluent in 3­ languages so what and phillip ill save you a post ­ cause i know the grammar is wrong
now back to the topic­ eng deserved to win the ashes cause they won more tests­ good luck to them i think england (strauss apart) are­ an average batting team and aus are an average bowling­ team so it was always gonna be a close affair,as for­ warnie i wouldnt take him too serious,hes like mcgrath­ every series aus is gonna win 5-0 or 7-0 or 3-0 they­ just like to wind people up and it appears to work

Rushad,...sorry for spelling your name wrong in my­ comment to Ben.

As an Aussie I wish Warnie would stop being a bad sport­ over this one and I wish you whinging childen would cut­ it out.. The poms beat us fair and square in the tests.­ If we were the" better" team but lost, then­ the poms deserve their victroy even ­ more.
Congratulations England.

Firstly Ben, India won last yr in NZ and drew u guys­ 1-1 in 2004.....we lost coz of that Sydney test fiasco­ in 2007.....we beat England and WI too in 2007 i­ think.....so maybe u need to brush up ur­ GK......secondly if u think my english has spelling and­ grammatical mistakes.......u can say what u like......i­ speak 4 languages unlike ur monologue........obviously­ ull speak better in ur book atleast.......English is my­ 3rd language btw.....anyways thank u Philip for being­ supportive.....i end this chapter here and am bk to my­ life.......g'day folks!

Warne its amazing your still a TW ATwhen will you learn­ we don,t care about that mickey mouse game they are­ playing at the moment we just like to pummel you in­ Cricket Test Matches so trot off back to oz and fiddle­ with a Koala.

Ben (50) in answer to your query, here is a section of­ your quote,..."who left there to be­ educated­ (which you havent achieved)". As you don't­ know Rashid personally, your comment can only mean his­ English is bad.

phillip b (48) where do i mention spelling or grammar­ perhaps you should read the post again

Warne did not say "The wrong team won", but­ he did say "The better team lost". A­ perfectly acceptable headline therefore, would have­ been "The worse team won" as it contains the­ opposites of his quote; but as you can see, "The­ worse team won" doesn't look so good to a­ journalist, and it would have indicated that England­ are the worse team in the world.

Ben (46) Thanks for the good laugh pal,...you have the­ nerve to comment on another's bad spelling and­ grammar,....and allow us to read your paragraph­ containing at least 24 spelling, punctuation, and­ capitalisation errors,...and it was YOU who quoted the­ phrase "Talk about the pot calling the kettle­ black." ROTFLMFA!

Rushad, thanks for correcting me,...I had England on­ the brain at the time,...and I also said "six to­ win" when in fact it was six to tie.

rushad your obviously an indian who left there to be­ educated (which you havent achieved) or get abetter­ life,at least in oz they dont have to have the crowds­ in cages like at indian cricket matches,and as for­ india walloping aus ,your the same as the english in­ the fact that you can only win at home,when was the­ last time india won a test series away from the sub­ continent against a good team ie safrca ,aus. As foe­ the symonds issue you only had to see the banners at­ the test series in india to see who the racists­ were,wouldnt be allowed in any civilised country,and as­ for warnie hes a legend doesnt mean hes right but he­ has a better knowledge of the game than anyone posting­ here,and lastly as for sore losers go back and read the­ posts put up after the 4th test by english supporters­ pot and kettle come to mind

About the only point of truth in Warne's blog is­ the last sentence "I'm looking forward to them­ coming out here in 18 months." ...... a fact which­ brings about an unfair advantage to Australia, because­ as the home team generally 'regains' the Ashes,­ Australia get to hold them for 30 months, and England­ only 18.

wasting my breath perhaps. but shane warne NEVER SAID­ THE WRONG TEAM WON! eurosport said that. but i suppose­ he did say australia is a 'better team,' which­ would mean england won as the underdog. he also said­ 'well played' to england for punching above­ their weight (in his opinion).

but how does shane­ warne saying australia is a better side have anything­ to do with australia being 'racist'? if you­ want to bag australian society in general there are­ other chat forums you could participate in.

Oh dear here we go again
yes we may have not been the­ best team that ever won the Ashes but let us face it,­ an Aussie team that could not bowl out Monty Panesar­ should not be too pleased with themselves.

Philip i beg to correct u on that one mate....that was­ against NZ and it was by Trevor Chappell (Greg and­ I'm-always-right Ian Chappell's bro).....and­ does anyone remember the kick to Javed Miandad by­ Dennis Lillee??? Does anyone remember the constant­ chucking accusation on Muralitharan....does anyone­ remember that Oval Test fiasco by Darrell Hair??­ Another Aussie racist....does anyone remember how in­ the old days not anyone would give a decision against­ Australia when a visiting team would appeal??? The list­ goes on....most unprofessional and definitely unethical­ supporters....see Andrew!! Instead of addressing the­ problem and improving the Aussie image abroad (I try­ and do that with my multicultural mates)­ sometimes......ur instead slagging me off???? Shows­ what a tinpot sided brain u guys have.....they say too­ much alcohol causes brain damage....in ur case...u have­ no brain eft for damage...back to VB then is it­ Andrew??? Or maybe Fosters?? Ill ask Shane Warne to­ join us....he is good at beer and the master at­ women....some tips maybe for us??
