How to snatch defeat from the jaws of a draw?

I went out for a lunchtime walk today and I bumped into Karl Pilkington. Even with snow on the ground in Toronto and on his round head I still recognised him. What a bit of luck to actually meet one of the world's great thinkers?

I asked Karl what he thought about the England cricket team and "How to snatch defeat from the jaws of a draw?" Karl said we shouldn't worry 'cause we will beat Australia again and they don't have sharks on land - even in Australia. He also told me he had written a poem about the cricket:

Pointing is a scrontin'

when the mighty "E team"
are in Perth next week.
Another loss, so what?
We still have the Ashes and Ponting does not.

Let's rally boys and show Ponting

and he has not
'cause he's a scrontin'
and he'll be found wantin'
