five day matches
one tiny fucking trophy
cricket's finest annual-and-a-bit competition has started once more and whether you're a whinging pom or a drunken aussie you'll be dedicating your days and nights to the cause of Andrew Strauss's Lonely Hearts Club Band or the Ricky Ponting Experience
and if you aren't, what the hell are you doing? this is the best excuse to get drunk for days on end until 2011

What spring does with the cherry trees.
it's not his fault, he's not an alcoholic
just a binge drinker
I will never understand the etymology of british slang
while i know douglas adams is popular with the nerds he never quite commanded that kind of audience
i realize what cricket is and the kind of world wide audience it has
i mean is this Ashes event the cricket match and trophy that Adams used to as part of the Universe Key or whatever in the Hitchhiker books
How are you not aware of the word whinging are you not aquainted with the language you are currently communicating in?
I am watch this now and enjoying it I just explained to viv how long this will go for and she was unimpressed.
Satans..... hints.....
Arguably. It is contested only between Australia and England about every two years dependent on seasons. It's not necessarily awarded to the best team in the world but it is definitely one of the milestones of the sport.
I speak american
god damned red coats
Yes. In one of the books it goes on about there being an intergalactic war or some shit and some atrocity and something about 'krikket' and how most cultures had some representation of it, and this was ours.
whinging - pretty much the same as whining, ignore the g. Pom - no one has any idea
Jesse Ryder can manage it (even if he injures his hand smashing toilet windows in bars from time to time), that English guy can almost manage it, he just shows up drunk to practice every now and then.

listen
inside that urn are the cremated remains of the bail taken as england were dismissed on home soil for the first time ever by australians. it dates back to 1882. those ashes are far more important than the shimmering trophies and hollow plaques of other sports
also they get some kind of oversized replica carved in solid diamond. i'm pretty sure it's solid diamond
now god damn

Whilst I admittedly haven't followed cricket in a couple of years, I will keep a keen eye out on this thread.
This thread.
Right here.
if you'd asked me an hour and a half ago i'd have said yes
edit: now i'll just say 'probably'
i can't wait to see johnson take out one of these guy's middle stumps
Englands twelve hours behind us, doesn't that mean the live will be during the night for us? Also will sky show replays during the day
the ashes
e: ooh it on, those smooth smooth english commentators, there's nothing like hearing them after months without test cricket(t20 can go die tests for life)

Topically, I will also be thrashing the English.

That is by no means the only copy of the rules, but it's the only copy that counts.
Any cricketer may challenge the decision of the umpire and ask for an official consultation of the rules, which actually involves a detachment being sent to the royal palaces to ask the Queen herself for a ruling. However, should the challenge be overruled then the penalty is execution, the nature of which is decided by the Queen.
The Queen has never ruled on the side of the challenger in the entire history of the game and as such challenges to the umpire's decision have become increasingly rare whilst the nature of the punishment has become increasingly cruel.
