My flag is just white.

Only official merch for you!

Racist!

My flag is just white.

Racist!

If you start owning flags, it's always bound to happen sooner or later.

England not having a recognised spinner at SCH is sheer  lunacy. Spinners always do well there. Shane Warne, Stuart MacGill and Nathan  Lyon have always had good figures at Sydney tests.

[Somniloquism]

I expect a second England win now Aftab has come home.

[olaftab]

It'll be just my luck, having endured total embarrassment and ridicule from Aussie fans whilst out there.

[PaulWinch again]

Choose to bat first - do we think under 250 all out?

[cdbearsfan]

Let's just call it 3-1 and everyone go home.

[olaftab]

Dodgy Duckett survives the first over.

[olaftab]

 No falls two Starc overs is a dream start. So I will watch till lunch.

[olaftab]

F in hell Duckett just couldn’t resist it….idiot.

[olaftab]

Throwing it all away now. 57-3.

[Rory]

Throwing it all away now. 57-3.

It's your fault. How many people told you not to wear that thong on the beach while you were over there? You cursed us!

[olaftab]

Yes but I don’t think you understand, we all had to wear the thong for one day. There is no choice it’s passed on bro to bro and only washed at the end of the tour.

[cdbearsfan]

I've no problem with your thong* wearing, it's the constantly jinxing England every away Ashes series I object to.

*unless you are using "thong" to mean "flip-flops", in which case we can never be friends.
