The Ashes

What were they used to call? Benson & Hedges Series? Aww man, those were the days... No IPL, no Twenty20 bull crap. Just pure cricket with big names battling it out. All the legends, they just had so much more character compared to now.

yeah dude i think they axed it I dunno ten years ago, i don't know if it was the ACB's choice or an edict from ICC. As cricket fans we're poorer for its absence, i hate twenty20 might as well watch bloody indoor cricket.

Yeah there's just no tension in twenty20, anyone with a bigish bat can just come in and whack the ball around.


They should just call it Fifty50, as in, there's a 50/50 percent chance any 1 team could win it, no skills involved, just pure luck.

It started in the UK was popular cause it was quick, tickets were cheap and they served full strength beer, became the thing to do on a Friday night out with the lads before hitting the boozer. I think it is to cricket what herpes is to sex.
 
Welp, in other news... New Zealand had just swept Pakistan 5-0 in the ODI Series.


Last month NZ also had beaten the West Indies 3-0 in the ODI Series.


Hottest team in cricket ATM? Has to be.

The windies suck unfortunately and beating the Pakies at home ain't that hard either. So no.
 
Yeah but 5-0 and 3-0, I mean c'mon... that's pretty clean.

teams from the sub-continent are like Guinness they don't travel. The Windies are just garbage, I remember them as giants but their time is past.

Hottest team in cricket ? That’s like asking which of Walder Frey’s daughters you’d like to marry
