• Ashes Tickets -- TSW, 1/06/06 20:19:20 [2] (82-44-178-127.cable.ubr05.haye.blueyonder.co.uk/82.44.178.127)
  Tickets only went on sale today and they`re already knocking about on ebay for silly money. I`ve been lucky enough to go on every Ashes tour since 90-91 and I wont be going this winter which I`m gutted about but if anyone on here is going for the first time its absolutely brilliant. They reckon between 30-40,000 are expecting to travel and despite the aussies trying to stitch us up about the ticketing arrangements I reckon huge numbers will make Melbourne and Sydney seem like home games.

  • I'm doing Perth, Melboune and Sydney - first time for Perth but done the other two before. Think we'll be able to get tickets somewhere along the line but have to say I'm a bit p1ssed off with the way the ACB have handled the ticket sales to completely wipe out the independent travellevr but also the number of people that are going over with no interest in cricket but will somehow ending up getting tickets instead of people like you and me!!

• Who decided we had to come on here? -- Pickn, TFI Moderator who knew nothing about it, 25/05/06 20:22:26 [6] (host86-141-126-155.range86-141.btcentralplus.com/86.141.126.155)
  Who decided that we couldn't talk cricket on TFI? At least 10 TFI regulars are also cricket lovers. If fan can post his nonsense and Bill can post his then I vote we post cricket where we all go which ios TFI, I dont want to dilute the TFI traffic and see no reason to. There's plenty of stuff on TFI i dont like to read but this in my opinion is a step to far so Im going to post my cricket info on TFI if I want to and have the argument there.

  • Think its a total load of b0llocks as well mate!! There's plenty of crap posted on TFi that frankly I couldn't careless about - music being a regular topic. Just cos a few people find cricket boring - and to be honest it's about 5 people at most that strongly object- don't read it - not exactly rocket science is it? If it gets people visiting TFi the I see no reason for it - power to the cricket people I say. (NT) -- HBB, 25/05/06 20:29:27

      • Same as boys, cricket is something that fulham fans can show an interest in (esp close season) so why aint it 'allowed' on the main board?! Thought t-f-i was something that was meant to be enjoyed by all fulham fans, and cant't see the difference between cricket (and any other 'minority sports' posts) and those about music etc (NT) -- Dazza, 27/05/06 2:33:52
  • Agreed Gents - I only set this up for songs. It just meant that TFi could be Fulham based and stop the "Fulham Calling" Type posting. Quite a few posters moaned and the vote on TFi that day wieghed in favour of No Cricket Posts so this was set-up. I ain't got time to keep an eye on one board let alone two!!! -- Si, 25/05/06 20:45:28
  • Stop fu**ing moaning, you should be grateful Si has set this board up, I dont mind a bit of cricket and isnt it better to discuss it here and have no one moan at your posts , than on the main TFI site where youll get non cricket fans moaning?I agree that theres alot of other stuff i dont find interesting on TFI but i scroll past it.But Cricket, especially in the close football season will probably over take the TFI board, so it aint a bad idea to have a cricket only board.

  Posted on T.F.I since it started and I have to say as a cricket nut as well as a Fulham fanatic that I`m a little disappointed that we have to come on here. I always liked the fact that on T.F.I you could post about a number of subjects, including cricket and music and it was nice to see that there were a lot of like minded people on there. I completely appreciate that T.F.I is a Fulham FC board and a lot of people couldn`t give a shit about cricket but there is stuff on there that bores me and I just scroll past. Getting back to cricket I had my Fulham St George in Australia for the last Ashes series and when I had it up at the SCG about five groups of people came up and asked to have their photo taken in front of it so a lot of us love cricket as well

  • To be honest if there's anything on TFI I'm not interested in, I just scroll past. Can't say I'm that bothered about Primal Scream's new video or how sentimental House is. Don't see why the people that voted for no cricket posts on TFi can't do the same. There was a TFi group at last year's Ashes tests ffs! However there's occasionally non-footie and non-Fulham stuff on there I find interesting, and wouldn't want that shunted onto another board. (NT) -- Andy Symonds Afro, 26/05/06 12:49:55
  • Wholeheartedly agree mate, what next? every post has to be Fulham FC related?, the reason I always preferred this site to the offal was the fact there were intelligent people who had good music tastes and interests in other non Fulham related topics, sometimes theres only so much you can write about football, especially in the summer. Yes its a football messageboard but come on, this is almost a form of censorship (NT) -- TSW, 26/05/06 14:59:10

  And Monty's just dropped a dolly. Fletcher won't stand for his comedy act for long. I'd bear with him, but I can see him being phased out, losing confidence and disappearing into the hole that Chris Schofield stumbled into, and James Anderson has only recently emerged from. (NT) -- Toucan, Thursday, May 25, 02:37:02pm
  
  As good as his bowling is, he'll get sluaghtered in Oz which will undoubtedly impact on what he's good at! No matter what you think of Giles' bowling, he adds a balance to the team which we'll need in the winter. Whoops - sorry cricket post!! (NT) -- HBB, Thursday, May 25, 02:43:55pm
  
  Without a doubt the Ashes will be sink or swim for him, should he make the trip. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about the county scene, is there anyone other than Giles worthy of consideration? Monty at least has youth on his side, although I can't see him ever being put anywhere but hidden at long leg in the immediate future. CMJ jnr seems to take a lot of wickets for (the mighty) Sussex, is he worth a shout? Is he even a spinner? (NT) -- BalDrick, Thursday, May 25, 03:00:35pm
  
  Panesar is the only spin bowler out there really of any quality - Loudon, Batty and Blackwell float around the county scene but are someway behind Monty but at least can all hold a bat and catch! The ECB have appionted a specialist spin bowler and will probably get to work with the England U19's etc but I think for the next coupld of years, it'll be pretty much what we've got now. CMJ Jnr is a relatively decent all-rounder who bowls a pretty decent medium paced seam- can't see him ever pushing for England contention. (NT) -- HBB, Thursday, May 25, 03:24:42pm
  
  I think there's room in a test team for a genuine wicket taking spinner who can't bat or field provided he's top draw. Too early to tell if that's Monty but
  I'd persevere.. (NT) -- Tony Gilroy, Thursday, May 25, 03:29:02pm

  Well after being shunted over here as only allowed to talk about football on the main site (what football is there to talk about!?), Panesar gets a wicket in his first over!!
  
  Fair play as you can't criticise his bowling style at all.

  Firstly, to Geraint Jones for being the second fastest test keeper in history for getting to 100 wickets and 1,000 runs. And secondly to Sri Lanka for an amazing batting performance to stave off a defeat that at one point looked likely to end the test by tea time on Saturday.

  Surrey snatched a thrilling one-run win over Kent to claim their first victory in this season's C&G Trophy.
  
  Ali Brown's 64 off 43 balls and 52 from Jonathan Batty led Surrey to 223-5 in a game shortened to 30 overs per side.
  
  Darren Stevens (67) and Neil Dexter (94) gave Kent a flying start with a stand of 137 but Jade Dernbach and Ian Salisbury turned the game around.
  
  They took three wickets each as Kent fell from 187-1 to 188-5 and, despite James Tredwell's 14, it proved crucial.

  Off sick from work the other day, what better way to spend time than by watching the Ashes 2005 DVD?
  
  After detailed notes and careful analysis, I now feel in a position to name my three favourite moments from last year's epic.
  
  3) Harmison rocks Ponting on the first morning of the first test, cutting the Aussie captain's cheek. None of the English players run up to check if Ponting is ok - a sign of intent.
  
  2) Gary Pratt. Need I say more?
  
  1) Flintoff's epic over (Old Trafford?) - gets Langer out with his second ball, then peppers Ponting, appealing every ball, until he gets the edge with the last. Too good for the world's best batsman.
  
  Anyone have anything to add?

  If anyone on here enters teams into The Daily Telegraph fantasy cricket ,and would like to enter into a super league , theres one being run on The BBC , the details are
  Super League Name - BBC COUNTIES MESSAGE BOARD
  League Pin - 8000058
  Over 40 teams in so far , no prize for winning the super league but 10k for winning it overall,
  or alternatively , lets set up a Fulham super league , to sort out once and for all whether Surrey , Kent or indeed Leics have the most knowledgeable fans !!!!!
