If you have had thoughts recently that michael clark and co dont have the ticker and that perhaps the poms are deserved victors over us make sure that you watch the abcs zwar show about bodyline cricket .Its a great show at the start of the ashes and that any hatred of pommie cricket is well justified.I found it to be a very fair minded portrayal of the series and the media coverage at the time and yet still find that my hatred of pommie cricketers unwavering.bring it on.(as long as its not windy.

Out of all the Aussie captains Clarky has to be the biggest wanker and I hope they get their arses kicked
My hatred of Clarke is only slightly outweighed by my hatred of those dirty loud mouth Poms and the South Africans imports...so I hope we win and then Michael Clarke retires....

+1
Good to see im not alone in my views.
I wish we'd never see watto, clarke or warner again.
To be fair though I don't think England will win this one 3-0.
Australia are not going to be able to rely on the weather saving them again in two tests. It is more likely to be 4-0 or 5-0.

I dunno about Warner I reckon he could turn out all right...Watson and Clarke are toss bags.
Thanks Ted..typical Kiwi supporting New Zealand and anyone who's playing Australia!
Each to their own BUT. Can't understand the Clarke non love, sure he's different but heyzoos he's a fricken great bat and a bloody good captain, love punter but if Clarke was captain in the 200somting ashes in England (when pointing 1st lost ashes) the poms wouldn't a got em!!!!
He avges 60+ as captain of an ordinary team! can he do any better???he avge 111 at the gabba....FFS....go hard at Watson not Clarke .....sure he is not border, sure he is not Waugh but for a metrosexual in this daynage of metro's he is a fan****intastis batsmen and a very adventurous captain
Font must be too small... I keep seeing the title as "hatred of porn cricketers check" and get all excited...
just looked at the first half dozen post here.
well a few of you ladies have got it wrong

Australia's David Warner bats during day three of the first Ashes Test at The Gabba, Brisbane [PA]
England's two early successes on day three were self-inflicted blows by Chris Rogers and Shane Watson on a cloudy and rain-interrupted morning - after which Warner (124) and Clarke (113) took over in a run-a-ball third-wicket stand of 158.
The tourists, especially once frontline seamers James Anderson and Stuart Broad had given their all, had no answer as Australia careered on in the sunshine to 299 for five - and a mammoth lead of 458.
Graeme Swann, on a pitch his opposite number Nathan Lyon had already demonstrated could help the off-spinner, and third seamer Chris Tremlett were especially ineffective - a worrying development for England, not just here but for four more Tests stretching in front of them.
It was not until Warner was guilty perhaps of minor complacency, having just crashed Broad back over his head for a six, that there was some temporary respite.
The left-handed opener tried to glide more runs behind on the off side, but instead edged Broad behind.
England had resumed badly needing a revival to stay remotely in this match, after their calamitous collapse on Friday afternoon.
That man Broad earned himself a few more boos by striking with his first ball of the day.
It was hardly a deserving delivery, a loosener of a short ball which Rogers somehow contrived to cut tamely into the hands of Michael Carberry at point.
But Broad and Anderson did not make life easy for Australia's batsmen initially - and by the time the former was given a breather, the hosts had added only five runs in seven overs.
When Tremlett then started with a long-hop, duly pulled for four by Watson, it seemed the pressure was about to be quickly released.
Watson went for a repeat next ball and mistimed terminally, however, to present a simple catch to Broad at mid-on - the second wicket to fall for just eight runs.
Australia's number three departed with a flea in his ear from Anderson, and England predictably brought Broad straight back into the attack to try to discomfort Clarke - at the expense of Tremlett, despite a wicket in his solitary over.
Broad had expertly exploited Clarke's apparent weakness against the short ball in the first innings, but had no joy this time.
By lunch, Warner and Clarke already appeared to have the measure of the tourists - and in the first hour of an extended afternoon session, they showed no mercy.
Warner passed his century in 135 balls, having hit 11 fours, and Clarke greeted one short spell from Swann by immediately hoisting him over long on for six in an over which cost 16 runs.
After Broad got Warner at last, Tremlett dug out a good delivery to have Steve Smith caught behind for a duck.
But Ian Bell put down a very sharp chance at short leg, to reprieve George Bailey on 17 off Joe Root, and then Clarke completed his near three-hour hundred from 115 balls.
Swann did eventually get the Australia captain, up the wicket and bowled aiming over long on, to give the off-spinner match figures of one for 192 at that stage.
Clarke's sixth hundred against England, and 25th in all, had nonetheless already ensured the tourists would be set a world-record run chase and almost certainly could hope for a stalemate at best here - even that a distant prospect, unless bad weather saves them.
Hey ted how about that dud mitchell johnson. ted you funny

um think you'll see a lot of them this summer
Heh!
Warner scored some runs.. but it's a long summer. Maybe Ms Falzon has been a good influence
Clarke could score 100 in every game but he's still a muppet.
Watto and rogers need a rest next game or maybe the entire summer.

And thats why i love ashes cricket....sticking it up you poms
Good to see our kiwi mates put the pommy rugby league team to the sword in the World Cup too.
Ha ha good to see u ozzies win one test this year, well done
Lets be realistic out of the whole series the gabba was always gonna be oz day out, u haven't lost there for something like 26 years, good win, absolutely belted us poms.
C u in adelaide
1/9.. Ashes are coming back home surely! I'm stoked for guys like Lehman, Haddin and Johnson. Can see it continuing to be very one sided
I must admit Warner is regrowing on me again. Clarke's batted well but is still a **** and Watto hasnt done much. Even i could score 100 at the waca against bowlers who are at half strength and probably rather hot. But then again i was in a partnership that scored 117 in under 6 overs at Revo's in Shenton park. We still had an over left but they ran out of space and we were around 250 runs ahead
Why would anybody Australian HATE Pom cricketers??
They make sure Aussie cricketers are the best.
