[Cricket] Australia whipped by the Poms!


Recommended Posts

England win by an innings and 71 runs, and take a priceless 1-0 lead with three Tests still to be played.

Swann had been identified as the man to spearhead England's push on the fifth day and he's done just that, finishing with 5 for 91 to bowl England to their 100th Test win over Australia. The hosts suffer the ignominy of their first innings defeat at home since their capitulation to the West Indies at Perth in 1993

My word, how the mighty have fallen! :huh:

Have you been watching the same match I have just been watching?

They were in the 2nd innings, and The first test match was a draw...

I wouldn't use the word "whipped" myself. But i'll give credit where it's due - England won the match.

Edit: Realised that England didn't bat again, my bad!

We beat the Australians by an innings and 73 runs, how often does that happen to the Australians on their own patch? England outplayed Australia in every single department. Brilliant batting, Brilliant fielding, and Brilliant bowling. Probably the best test performance I have ever seen England put in, proud of our boys :D

When you lose by an innings and 71 runs it means you have been whipped! What it means when you loose by an innings, is that England still had an innings left to bat and simply put, when your opposition's one score is better than BOTH your knocks, you have had your arse kicked! You would perhaps know this if you have ever played the game or understand it!

Yep, an innings victory is pretty much a hammering. And it's the first innings defeat for Australia in Australia since 1993 so it kind of shows how far they've fallen.

Broad and Katich are out for the series now i think. Shahzad for Broad for next test?

I was surprised how quickly they got the last 5 wickets, meant i could have an early nights kip :)

Great result by the lads, the team is really working as a cohesive unit. Shame for Broad, i thought he might have been a star down under, at least it gives the other bowlers a chance to show they deserve a place in the 11. My moneys on Tremlett.

From what I have heard it's Liam Plunkett that has bowled the best on this tour so far from the reserves, but I believe the final assessment will be made after the next warmup match

looks like hughes will play, even though he isnt in form.i hope they drop north.

For the english i would think either tremeltt or shazard.

Also hauritz scored a hundred :p so he might be back in

Good. Aussie cricket has become too arrogant over the years.

nice clueless post :)

Unfortunately the Aussie selectors seem to be going for a "horses-for-courses" selection policy at the moment and it's not really working!

I am a "Saffer" and as much as I love that our side beats the Australians, you have to always respect them! They have set the bar for so long now that a dip was bound to come at some stage or another!

They really need to drop North. I think the stat still stands: he has not made a hundred for Australia whenever he's come in at the score below 150. Almost Ian Bell-esque.

However, they might keep him because he's been used as a backup spinner. And sometimes bowled instead of the main spinner (Hauritz).

cue steven smith.

Because of the dominance over the past what ever years aus failed to blood younger players(besides Clarke) and now they are paying the price. England now have their younger players(and south african players :p) coming through and on form will do well.

Indeed. It's crazy that someone like Hussey debuted when he was 30. The selectors just didn't plan for the future by getting the older players to retire in stages rather than all at once. And now they don't seem to want to risk younger players even in the smaller series and keep picking the same failing players. As for Steve Smith, i'm not sure if the selectors think he's ready. Otherwise they surely would have picked him instead of Doherty.

I just hope that when the Indian middle order retire they don't follow the same route.

This is also what happens in England (in other sports as well). They keep playing the team they have without bringing in the younger ones.

I am rather surprised by the Australian selectors current choices for the third test, I get the slight feeling that they are getting a touch desperate.

Hilditch is a moron, who unfortunately had the luxury of not having to select players for 10 years and now suddenly as the chairman he has no idea =\

Surprised this thread hasn't been resurrected after Australia's dismal performance in Melbourne. Congratulations to England for retaining the Ashes over here. Never an easy task IMO.

Also like to say thanks to the poms for at least providing some watchable batting and bowling displays, you have been awesome. Now if the Aussies could concentrate more on being cricketers and less on being celebrities, we might be able to come up to par.

Hopefully this is the shock the team needed to get its arse into gear!! :laugh:

I'm really pleased with our performance, OK 3rd test was rather poor for us but overall I think we've played really well.

Well done to the Aussies, you put up a fair fight and destroyed us in the 3rd test.

Be interesting to see how the 5th test goes, will losing Ponting hurt?

Can't be any worse! Probably should drop Pup as well, just made Haddin captain.

i'd agree with that!

Hopefulyl this is the wake up call to start rebuilding a new team.

Always remember my Dad saying it was easier to get into the team than to get dropped from it. Have to agree with him at this point! :shifty:

    • New leak shows the design of the upcoming Nothing Headphone (1) by David Uzondu We've been hearing about the Nothing Headphone (1) for a while now, and it looks like we finally have our first real look at the headphones. In a new series of images leaked by @nothing_fan_blog on Instagram, the self-proclaimed "official German Nothing Fanpage", we can see Nothing's first over-ear headphones out in the wild. You definitely will not mistake these for anything else on a store shelf. The design has the company's signature see-through aesthetic, with a transparent oval piece on top of a solid rectangular base on the earcups, with three physical buttons for controls. Image via @nothing_fan_blog The headphones are set to launch alongside the Phone (3), which itself is getting rid of the glyph interface that made the company's phones stand out in the first place. It is a bit interesting seeing the new headphones establishing a strong visual identity while the flagship phone abandons its own. There is good news for anyone who values a wired connection for audio quality, as one of the images confirms the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the other hand, a close-up of the headband shows no visible folding hinges, which could be a minor inconvenience for some people, especially travelers. Image via @nothing_fan_blog As for colors, the leaks reveal both a white and black version. There's reportedly a gray option, but the leaked images did not show that. The more interesting part is the price, which is rumored to come in around $299 in the US and €299 in Europe. This would place the Headphone (1) in a very aggressive position, undercutting top-tier options from Sony and Bose by a significant margin. To compete, they will have to pack in the usual like Active Noise Cancellation. The sound quality also needs to be excellent, so let's hope the previously announced partnership with British audio company KEF works out well. We still don't have other details like battery life or specific driver information. Full details are expected at the official launch event, happening on July 1.

    • Samsung Electronics has multiple subsidiaries. Samsung Display is a subsidiary that deals in screen manufacturing, it's a supply chain-based company where the staff solely care about manufacturing displays. Samsung Electronic's TV and Phone division may have other priorities, for example Samsung TV didn't want to go in on OLED because margins were lower when building the entire TV. Samsung Display's entire existence however now depends on OLED as they couldn't undercut Chinese LCD manufacturers but could compete against LG Display who is the only competitor in that market. Samsung Display has this screen manufacturing investment, but Samsung Mobile may not be willing to reduce their margins for going with a display technology that eats into the phone margins.
    • The weather looks gorgeous, I love the atmosphere of this new area.
