Can't wait for the second test now like. Already the most ill feeling I've ever known in an Ashes series.

By all accounts Trott is a total prick with the sledging, not surprised they're kicking him while he's down.

There is a lot of genuine ill feeling between these two sides. At the end of the last series in England Jon Agnew made some very interesting points about there being another Ashes series straight after the last one and his fears that it may spill over and get a bit messy as there has not been time for things to cool down as there was a lot going on during the series. I know Agnew can be a bit of a fanny at times and likes to put on the act of a blustery Englishmen during commentaries but he is also very good at getting the inside stories as well about what is going on in the dressing rooms.

wouldn't surprise me, after his tiff with vaughan over the southa african test, lording it over the english before he 'became one'. and his 'banter' with the crowd where he acts a cock and everyone loves him for it gets right up my nose
 
It's stupid the way the two series have more or less run back to back, and the last one ending as it did on the last day only meant the bad feeling was going to brew for a few short months before it all bubbled up again.

Just watched the highlights and the press conferences and just makes me realise all the more that the Aussies are arrogant ***** and how much I despise the twats.

Clarke is a utter twat and I hope we can find some form and shove their smug f***ing faces up their arseholes.

We've beaten them three times and by god I hope it becomes four.

Spot on. Bunch of jumped up convicts.
 
Appears we have been well and truly bullied into defeat in this test. As said by someone else this is down to Lehman or 'Boof' as they call him here.

Only one way to win now and that's give it back to them stronger but I don't know if they got the balls for it.
 
Read Anderson book and he and Clarke have history.

Clarke being a cocky twat when they beat us 5-0 didn't go down well
 
It's pathetic and really poor sledging from Clarke. Firstly, the game was won, it was the last wicket pair so really not necessary, secondly it was school yard tactics ("We're gonna knack you") rather than the more classic psycholgical sledging that gets into the heads of the batsmen ("Mind the windows Tino")

What and Anderson isn't, England have a few in the side who have been giving the Aussies plenty over the past 3 series while they where on top. The Aussies outplayed England at Brisbane and gave them a bit back, now it is up to England to bounce back. There is not much between the sides Englands proven world class players have to bounce back.
 
In England, I sometimes wonder why we have Ashes matches later in the season.

Surely the Aussies would be knackered batting on early season tracks in May and June. Not to mention bloody cold.
 
Never liked Clarke. At an Eng v Aus ODI at the Riverside a couple of years ago, the players came off the field after pre-match training. As is the norm at these games a lot of kids (and some adults) stand at the pavilion gate for autographs. The only person I saw refuse to do any was Clarke.
 
Shane Warne has accused James Anderson of threatening to punch George Bailey in the face, and defended skipper Michael Clarke for stepping in to support the Test debutant.

As the fallout continued after the dramatic and controversial finish to the first Test, it emerged on Monday that Anderson's treatment of Bailey sparked the fiery exchange between Clarke and the England pace spearhead. And David Warner weighed into the drama, describing Anderson as "arrogant".

In developments late on Monday, Warne claimed in a series of tweets that Anderson had told Bailey, who was fielding in close, that he wanted to punch the Tasmanian in the face.

"@MClarke23 stuck up for his debutant Bailey as he should have too as Capt after Anderson said he wanted to punch Bailey in the face!" wrote Warne, who as a commentator with Channel Nine was privy to what was heard on the sound effects microphones.



"On another note, I think it's a disgrace that @MClarke23 has been fined. What about what Jimmy Anderson said to Bailey, which wasn't heard.

"Unfortunately only Clarke's reaction to Anderson's was heard live, we all heard Anderson's sledge that led to Clarke reacting!

Michael Holding who I'm sure we'd all agree is a gent often states that that he was delibearley invested in a technique which was about causing potential injury in order to make the batsmen think about protecting themselves rather than taking the strike. Cricket is an intense and dangerous game. I'd wager a not insubtantial amount of England players have offered as bad forms of sledging and threats, and I wouldn't care if they had. It's in the game's makeup to allow you to be penalised if you shrink back from that confrontational aspect and likewise part of it's brilliance that it also allows you to come out on top of it as well. I think it's crackers to argue that words are agaisnt the spirit of the game but hoying something 90 mph at somone's head is fine and dandy.[DOUBLEPOST=1385400082][/DOUBLEPOST]

You can bet Malcolm Marhsall didn't deliver that "Kill you" line in a whimiscal fashion, I see no difference personally

The aggressive stance is clearly working

The England side need to rise to it and not shrink away

This is what Colly was so good at

So speaks the voice of hair transplants and on-line poker.

We'd better lead jimmy Anderson outside and shoot him.
