[Cricket] Australia wins the Ashes!


Recommended Posts

It was always expected. I expect this series to be a replay of last ashes down under (4-1 in favour of Australia).

But, after england bowled so well in the 1st innings I was hoping they could make the series a bit interesting.

But, their bating and 2nd innings bowling bungled it all up :angry: .

And cricket is not a boring sport. It's way more fun than most american sports. Its a lot more complex and interesting.

I guess Duncan Fletcher is in real trouble now. The team management made some bad decisions. I read Boycott's article calling for his sacking. I feel a bit sorry for him, as his overall track record is quite good (considering that he has coached for such a long time), and he has done a lot for English cricket.

i know what ur talkin about bro... :( thats truly the pinnacle of pain...ouch !!!

btw iam not a big fan of the Aussie cricket team....they are terrible sportsmen and are generally hated by all other international teams because of their arrogant and abusive attitude...don't know why that is....Australians in general appear to be very cool people.

Their policy is to come hard at their opponents. They want to be aggressive, and there is nothing wrong with this. However, abuse should not be a part of cricket, which is rightly called the gentleman's game. Hurling abuses at each other doesn't make sportsmen look good, and it is true for all teams, and not just for Australia.

They're the best team in the world, and they deserve all the praise they get.

Haha, very true.

Ha ha ha indeed.. how very funny you Canadians and Australians are! Truly the Cannon and Ball of world comedy...

Actually no it's not true.. see above (the celebrations came from the small minority of people who care about/watch cricket and the rest were those who were absolutely surprised at an England team winning anything in sport.)

Of course it's always an absolute pleasure to beat Australia at anything. It doesn't happen very often, of course, but always a pleasure.

It's a shame Warne's retiring, the man is a legend and a good bloke off the pitch too.

lol yeah. Big cricket fan? No? :laugh:

^Meaning he's not an arrogant a#@!+*#% off the pitch, unlike many pros.

No, I'm not a big cricket fan, I find it protracted and boring. Two close (British) friends of mine have met Warne (and a lot of other players) quite a few times and they like him (even if he is a rude Aussie.. but then, aren't you all?) :D :p

Shutup... please.

See we arn't rude at all :cool:

Warne is a dick, really he is, sure he's not an ass off the field, but ya know. Cheating, Flirting, etc. not nice. Grea cricketer though.

  • 1 month later...

England won the commonwealth bank series final easy today.

2-0 best of 3.

What pleasure I had watching the Aussie fans leaving early looking at the floor crying into their beer.

''But mate, we are the best in the world'', ''not any more''. ha ha ha ha.

England still can improve 4-fold as they are still not playing their best.

Additions of Ramps and Butcher will strengthen the side and maybe Brown & Benning for the world cup.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
