ex aussie cricketer says england should pick the same team for the next test http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/australia/8191987.stm

i bet he fucking does!

Yeah well he could be trying to give your lot a bit of good advice.Your team could learn from"team men",not individual players with their own adgenda.Some of your team are not being team men are they?.Then again English sides have always been about style and class rather than grit and determination

Wrong. They're just not up to it.

Wrong except England being about class and style, obviously.

 

[Corax]

If Bopara gets picked for the next one then I'll be on top of the scoreboard with a sniper rifle.

 

[Upchuck]

They're talking about recalling Ramprakash

but WHY not?????Your lot invented the fucking game but cant play it for shit when it counts.You have 6 times our population which should equate to 6 times more to choose from,but you keep getting players from around the globe to help you out.
Sack the ECB,install young blood to run the show and get some spine dammitHave a fucking go,believe in yourselves and your team mates.
One word"TEAM"

Bring some much-needed mental solidity.

Is the weather the reason you import Sth Africans to play for you?

Is that the sort of team where Katich and Clarke hit each other or the one when Kim Hughes was captain?

 

[strung out]

harmison got 49 against SA last year remember

They choose to come here for some reason. I can't put my finger on why.

 

[paulhackett]

Even the South Africans the Aussies picked come back here, like Wessels, or when we give them our best talents like Symonds, they end up pissed or like Roebuck they go to SA.. it's very confusing

 

[mattie]

Clark going for 7+ an over. Something's not quite right here.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

wow were still batting? been watching the football

 

[TrippyLondoner]

bloody hell i seem to jinx it now everytime i post here

 

[mattie]

9 down.

 

[Upchuck]

Out

 

[Badgers]

Should still be ok

 

[mattie]

Harmy can give it some beans.

Keppler played for us because your lot would not give him a go and i might add he is the ONLY Sth African born player to have played for Aus.Roy Symonds is a pom thru and thru,loves it there,can do plenty of fishing and drinking in tropical old EnglandWho gives a fuck about Roebuck??

eta 1-1,its still OURS xxxxxxx

 

[mattie]

God almighty, it's like reading Kerouac.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Crap

 

[mattie]

That be that. Nice little knock from Broad and Swann, England turn up to one session of the entire Test.

Well played Australia.. means we have to win at the Oval, which might relax the minds a bit, win or bust

 

[Kenny Vermouth]

With the prospect of not winning at The Oval, we can safely say England threw The Ashes away on day 1 at Headingly.

 

[Badgers]

Fail

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Pathetic that it takes them 3 days to wake the fuck up.

 

[baldrick]

yeah that was dismal, but i think england can take something good from today.

 

[liquidlunch]

I think your batsmen failed miserably tbf.You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear
Then again,the inclusion of Sturt Clark help take pressure off the bowling dept by tying down his end and allowed the rest to bowl inside their game.Pressure is a wonderful thing as long as your not the one under it

You didnt throw it away,we took it and would not give it back.Schoolyard bullies usBetcha all wish you could push us around the way we push your lot around
