<p>The papers always build up unrealistic expectations of our sports teams, then if we fail to win the World cup (footy) or take the Ashes or whatever event they think we ought to win, they won't praising the hard work and lessons learned, no, they'll be sticking their knives in, finding fault with our best players and putting them down at every opportunity.</p>

Mate, i fail to understand the earlier pessimistic commenting and general attacks by certain sections of our media. Have they ever heard of ACCLIMATISATION and all of it's effects ? The Pom top order is being sorted out well ahead of the TESTS, which, by the way, begin on July 21. LEE in for Kaspo for the first Test ? A few months ago that would NEVER have been discussed, now surely it's time to give our best one day bowler a crack at weak Pommie Limbs.

<p>GHOSTBUSTER GOUGHIE</p>
<p>GHOSTBUSTER Darren Gough taunted Shane Watson for being a big ghoul's blouse as England tried to give the Aussies more sleepless nights ahead of the Ashes.</p>
<p>Joker Gough poked fun at all-rounder Watson for being spooked by tales of a ghost roaming the corridors of Australia's 700-year-old hotel.</p>
<p>The Dazzler, fielding his own bowling, mockingly raised both arms, as if he were a ghost, under non-striker Watson's nose in a hilarious game of trick or treat.</p>
<p>But Watson, allegedly so rattled by tales of aristocrat Lily Lumley's 14th century murder at Lumley Castle that he fled his room in the middle of the night and slept on team-mate Brett Lee's floor, didn't see the funny side.</p>
<p>He chuntered under his helmet as Gough went back to his mark chuckling in the knowledge that it wasn't only the blinds in Watson's room that had been rattled.</p>
<p>Five years ago at Old Trafford, Gough startled West Indian batsman Ridley Jacobs by pulling a face in delivery stride - later christened Dazza does the Haka - and his sense of humour remains undiminished.</p>
<p>Although Australia recovered from a mid-innings wobble to reach 266-5, this will always be remembered as the one-day international where the World Cup holders went from fair dinkum to scare dinkum.</p>
<p>On a slow pitch, England's bowling was more Boris Johnson than Boris Karloff, and England and Wales Cricket Board officials declined to decorate the occasion by including snippets from Monster Mash among the musical jingles between overs.</p>Scott Wickstein commented on 'ENGLADESH'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0105364d0c4f970b2005-06-24T08:39:45Z2008-12-09T21:02:56ZScott Wicksteinhttp://www.ubersportingpundit.comThese day/night fixtures are playing hell with my body-clock.

<p>Adsy: Indubitably. The great man to the rescue.</p>
<p>Steve: You're better than you've been for years. It will be close. The key will be; can England grasp THOSE moments? You know, when Australia is in a bit of trouble (as it generally is of late), can England press home the issue? I reckon there's a good chance that, this time, they can. Of course, I hope not.</p>
