I don't like Cricket

50 reasons why Australia will lose the Ashes

I meant to start this thread four days ago. But I didn't.

We are into the final countdown; the last 50 days (well 46 now). So its time to ramp up the pyschological warfare (and that doesn't mean take Ramps away from Strictly Come Dancing).

So everyday for the next 50 (46 now) days I will illustrate a non-cricketing reason why Australia is rubbish and England will retain the Ashes. So here's three to start with.

Reason 1 Why Australia Will Lose The Ashes
Only 12 people live in Australia. They have spent the last 30 years dealing with their inferiority complex and dominating World Sport. They are now content with their domination, lazy and contented. They've lost the hunger.

Reason 2 Why Australia Will Lose The Ashes
Sons and Daughters. Neighbours. Flying Doctors. Home and Away. Prisoner Cell Block H. Round the Twist. There is so much good TV on over there that they will be concentrating on that instead of us.

Reason 3 Why Australia Will Lose The Ashes
The didgerdoo. It makes Morris Dancers and their tamborines look like an intellectual contribution to music.
