Were the Aussies paid to lose

[Sman-21]

Well during and after the ashes there has been plenty of stupid polls from the english fans. So heres another

Do you think the Aussies were paid to lose the ashes.
All of a sudden first game after the ashes every batsmen is hitting the ball cleanly,Flintoff is not a problem,fielders look keen and have there minds on the job.

Please do not create multiple threads on the same topic in future.

On your question-I think Aussies just went through a bad phase,maybe the conditions did not suit them,also dont forget that they did not give the youngsters enough chances then.

Are you reffering to the thread starter or the Aussie's Andrew?

 

[langerrox]

i take it the thread because we all know the aussies were paid lol jokes

 

[andrew_nixon]

The thread obviously.

I take it the thread starter has some sort of evidence to back up his claim?

Whats that? You don't? Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[langerrox]

Why dont we just start a poll, has Australia been match-fixing over the last few years... what a stupid question.

How dare you suggest Aus match fixed. They weren't perpared for English conditions. Simple as that.

Or the English team.

 

[sid_19840]

They probably didnt expect the English bowlers to reverse swing the ball either.

There are reasons why we lost the ashes and I can name them but no one believes me or try's to make up other excuses.
