ASHES to ASHES

[Adelaide Hawk]

What a boring old show this is. I've watched 45 minutes and nothing has happened yet except weak jokes and the crowd yelling out like idiots. I hope the Ashes series is more interesting than this dribble. Thank goodness I taped the Tied Test on Channel 2 to watch later.

Its the way ch 9 is going under Sir Eddie these days unfotunately, cheap panel/chat/info type shows (20 to 1, Clever, Big Questions, ABBA special etc etc). Nothing beats a quality cricket documentary on ch 2 compared to the crap that ch 9 put on like this latest Ashes crap.

[Brad]

I thought it was OK, maybe its my strange sense of humour.

[Aerie]

I liked it! Thought it was a good show. Was it a one off?

[spell_check]

Didn't even know it was on.

I think that is my issue. I like to think about my sport and these shows just leave me cold that are all tinselled and hyped up to camouflage the fact that nothing is actually happening. Give me a good old fashioned documentary any day. They had to bring in a band every now and then to appease people who lack the ability to concentrate for more than 30 xeconds.

Was it a one off?

I certainly hope so.

The Tied Test doco on the ABC was brilliant. Well worth watching...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust if Eddie don't annoy then in JB you trust. Channel nine tossers. I briefly had a glimpse of part of it after I had a watched a full two hour highlights package of the first test at Edgbaston when Gilly smashed the Poms in 2001. You'd watch Cricket over a 'footy show' knock off any day of the week. I've said it before and I'll say it again..I love my Foxtel...

Blues vs. Warriors tonight!

Just like the world cup footy show "special" - a load of self-indulgent pap.

Although at least they used cricketers rather than former players of a different sport to host this one.

Hmm I thought that was the game ... I got all the way through till Stevo's departure and Gilly's entrance and my unbridled excitement was at the fore just as the missus came home alll set for a barney and off went the Box

Do I wear hers or mine?

LMAO Yeah easily said mate ... Hell hath no fury like the woman scorned, and don't even think of denying it!

[Rik E Boy]

Mate, only the depth varies. Mrs REB knows better than to tell me to turn off the cricket or footy. She's happy watching her *shudder* reality TV on the other box when I am watching real television.

Anyone else watch the Ch2 show last night showing all the highlights from the tied Test in Madras in '86? I did,great show,Dean Jones and Greg Mathews= loose cannons and two of the biggest efforts shown on a cricket field by those two on that occasion.

Did they have VHS back then????

LOL CP,the question that comes from this is,do you have any idea what the barney was about? More often than not,I have less than a clue as to the origin of the duel.

LOL ... It's funny you mention this mate, after several hours of *ahem* gentle discussion (u probably heard us from ur place) I'm still, even as I type this, trying to work out WTF it's all about!!

The only part you are getting wrong is that you think you might work it out mate. Don't bother, the real reason behind the fight was something that someone else did about 5 years before you even met her.
