Yeah it's a bit contrary to say we shouldn't limit immigration and then express prejudiced views towards people from another part of the same sovereign state. You're going to remove the borders from the UK and reinstate Offa's Dyke?

He is young though isn't he?I guess they felt england couldn't just chuck him into that high pressure situation straight away.

Not sure the runs and wickets against the Windies have been the best test?
I hope they wait before playing him, although I'd love to see him play. Hopefully after years of early debuts and faltering starts to careers like Flintoff or Ramprakash, Ben Holliaoke, Ricky Clarke etc. they realise it's better to wait until he can play to the level we all hope. At the moment he'd go for 5 an over.
I'd let Broad have a go on a pitch that's not flat, as a 4th seamer, so he can look like the 90mph bowler he's now supposed to be.

how.sad.are.you?
so wrong and soooo creepy, don't you have a newborn to look after rather than trawl my posts and make all kinds of judgements outbursts and threats again? weird
I am afraid you have shown yourself for the cock jockey you are on this thread. Your views are totally contradicatory. My wife is English by the way - what should i do Ddraig? Get some petrol out and burn the house down in my sleep tonight? Would that make me 'proper' Welsh?!!
Anyway, back to discussing the cricket - something that you have not even commented on thus far on this thread about, um, cricket strangely enough!
what a wanker you are trawling cricket threads that you have no interest in to trot out your out of date bollocks. How was Brighton / Bourenmouth / London the last time you were there by the way? or did you arrange to not bump into any English people so as you could enjoy yourself properly? Back in your box there's a good boy.

On behalf of Welsh people everywhere I'd like to apologise for DDraig, who comes across like the kind of petty provincial cock jockey who writes to his local paper in green ink. Knobber.
I'd also like to take the same opportunity to apologise for some of the English folk who spent days bemoaning just how lifeless the wicket was. You know, the same folks who are praying for rain as England hang on today.
And whilst we're here, we may as well apologise for the Australians being typically cocky and Australian. I just don't know why people enjoy beating them so much.

Ha ha. I don't know which i dislike the most. What a choice. Brainless welshman, wooly English and arrogant Aussies.
I almost feel quite sorry for him at the end of the day.
Like most nationalistic, racist little cunts, it must be pretty miserable being so pre-ocupied with hating others that you actually have no life yourself to speak of.
I think it's ok to be proud of where you come from.
It can be a bit dull. When most folk go on about their pride of where they come from, I take it with a pinch of salt and usually glaze over.
I hate nationalism of all colours to be honest. As a mixed up Brit who's lived in both Wales and England I can confirm that there are jumped up frothing turds on both sides of the border.
Fortunately they're not typical of the population as a whole. Weirdly it doesn't really matter what side of the divide they're from - that petty chip on shoulder obsessional nationalist zeal is shared by similarly obvious tragic cunts the world over.

I think a lot of English get a bee in the bonnets about lifeless pitches (in the sense that they're not offering easy wickets) as they're arguably the side least equipped to actually deal with them. It comes down to perserverence, confidence and patience, and I just cannot see which English batsman would be able to do what Ponting did yesterday.
On firey pitches I think England are a difficult team to play, on ones requiring perseverance and discipline I think we're awful.

blah blah blah
Other than 3 English batsmen, I don't think we've played any worse than the Aussies. 3 of our top order should have gone on and got centuries. That's the only difference.

I agree entirely, but that's the fault of the batsmen.

running from law and the press and the parents
Why has broad been getting it in the neck, seems all the bowlers lacked any penetration. There isn't much between any of them in the figures. As for the batting, I liked the comment that was made that the press lambaste the top scorer on the team. Yer it was a cheap wicket, but so were some of the others, chips and dolly catches all round, and i bet swanny didn't talk to Panesar for the rest of that day for leaving him stranded on 47 either!
My random prediction for todays outcome: England will bat past Aus total but I can see them getting knocked over soon after leaving a last innings chase of less than 100.. The question will be whether there is time enough for Aus to bat and get the runs

I am glad other people feel the same way. Its pathetic really. His silence is deafening now that he has been shown up. All because his cycle to work takes a little bit longer than usual!
Now on the cricket, i cant see us batting this day out. Someone is going to need to play a blinder if we are. Maybe Strauss and Collingwood can hold out for the day?TrippyLondoner

Did you see what i did there?! There was no point including Pieterson in my post as it was blatantly obvious he was not going to be able to play a match saving innings. Fair play he can play match winning innings', but match saving - no chance! Crap shot - he just isnt interested unless there is a sniff of glory to be had. Great player, but not for this situation. Bring in boring Collingwood!
