7 No depth

In such a cramped schedule, injuries are bound to hit both camps. England are in serious strife if they lose any of their first XI. There's a vast gulf between their top-tier players and those on the standby list. Australia can only hope and pray that off-spinner Monty Panesar is called in for Graeme Swann. Australia have eight Test-standard speedsters in the queue.

Gotta love the Daily Telegraph. So full of crap. It's not a tabloid newspaper for nothing.

There's one overenthusiastic journo!

Did you hear what the stump microphones picked up when The Ashes skippers tossed the coin on Boxing Day?
Andrew Strauss called correctly and, quick as a flash, said to Ricky Ponting: “You lads can bat.’’

Just as quick, Ponting replied: “No, we can’t. We really can’t.”

What is the main function of the Australia coach?
To transport the team from the hotel to the ground.

What’s the difference between Ricky Ponting and a funeral director?
A funeral director doesn’t keep losing the ashes.

More old chestnuts for you:


The phone rings in the Australian Cricket Team's changing room.
"G'day. Could I speak to Ricky Ponting, please?"
"Aww, look, sorry mate, he's just gone out to bat."
"Oh, that's alright, mate. I'll hang on."



The Australian bobsleigh team have asked the Aussie cricket team for a meeting.
They want to ask their advice about how they managed to go downhill so fast....



There's a new special in the country's fish and chip shops - Aussie fish, comes well battered.



How does Aussie bowler Mitchell Johnson ensure there's a wicket next ball?
He goes in to bat.

If I've learnt anything from watching the Ashes series;
It's that crime doesn't pay




Definition of an Australian all-rounder? A cricketer who can't bat, can't bowl and can't field



Not all is lost. Australia still has world-class spinners. There's the redback, the funnel web...



Just reading up on the Ashes blogs, found a composite team from both sides in the series:

Strauss, Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Prior, Swann, Bresnan, Tremlett, Anderson



I hear Inzamam Ul-haq has put his hand up to become Shane Watson's personal running between wickets coach



The police stopped a man because his car was swerving all over the road, the policeman got out and said to the driver "Sir, we'll need to do a breathalyzer test" the man gave the policeman a doctor's note saying 'He's an Asthmatic and shouldn't do a breathalyzer'. "OK then" the policeman said "we'll need to take a blood sample" the man gave the policeman another note saying 'he's an Anaemic don't take blood from him', "OK then sir, we'll need to "cough" take a urine sample" the driver hand the policeman a note saying 'This man is in the Australian cricket team please don't take the piss out of him'

Anyone see this in last nights match (yes I know it isn't the Ashes, but it was still down under)... Streaker ran onto the pitch, took a bail off the stumps, stuck it up his backside then ran off again. Umpire just picked it up and put it back.

Haven't seen it but Steven Finn was tweeting about it this morning.
