I really don't see the connection with evil muslims taking over Europe, destroying our way of life, was that slang??

Long time ago, in MCG
So the Melbourne papers say
Ricky Ponting's Test career
Ended on Boxing Day
Hark, the commentators sing
Listen to what they say
That Ricky Ponting will play no more
Because of Boxing Day
No one watches cricket.

Congratulations!
So with how many runs did you win, in which innings?
We won by an innings and (I think) 158 runs. The biggest defeat Australia have suffered on home turf for 98 years... OH yeah baby!

There is no single better achievement for British sport than to beat Australians. Only becasue of course it tends to be the other way around most of the time...
I was thinking that perhaps the (fingers crossed) ashes victory was more about a poor Aussy team than outstanding English play, but even if the English team is comparatively better this year -the same was true of the Aus team with McGrath & Warne etc. So basically, there is still plenty of pride to be had from simply being the better team -especially when this si a generational contest.
when I first saw the thread title I was thinking you were gonna say it was you who let the bath water running.

You mean give you decent players? Australia not having decent players makes the game boring?
You don't realise the ripples of pleasure I get when Australians turn their backs on their own team after just one serious slapping. We English followed our team faithfully through decades when they were total rubbish. You lot play rubbish for a match and your own fans are booing and leaving the ground.

They were originally called Barmy Army by the Australians who couldn't understand why they showed up every two years to be crushed and still kept cheering and having a good time.
Seen some of the Aussie press this afternoon. They are delusional.

More specifically the 94/95 tour, when Atherton's team were beaten by everyone. In a quadrangular tournament where Australia B and Zimbabwe were included merely as cannon fodder, we failed to make the top two (the final was Australia A vs Australia B). It was then that one of the press made the comment about the English fans being absolutely barmy to spend so much money supporting such a rubbish team.
Typical Aussie.
One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."

Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
One innings victory down in Aussie-land
One innings victory down in Aussie-land
And if one innings victory is not enough for them
We'll make it two innings victories down in Aussie-land
Two innings victories down in Aussie-land
Two innings victories down in Aussie-land
And if two innings victories is not enough for them
We'll make it three innings victories down in Aussie-land
Three innings victories down in Aussie-land
Three innings victories down in Aussie-land
And if three innings victories is not enough for them
We'll take the bloody Ashes back, back to Pommie-land
Not much of a cricket fan these days. One question though.
Are Australia the Newcastle United of the cricket world? You know, out of touch, living on past glories, subject to wild hallucinations and delusional?
Just askin' like.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
