it's not that so much. We were missing 2 of our best players, vaughan & simon jones. take ponting and warne out for you & You'd be a different side. Add to that some poor management our end from fletcher, the selectors & the bbc side of the media & we were screwed before it began. I said on day one (to my brother, not sure if i did here) that we deserved to lose 5-0 for repicking g jones & giles & fletchers poor warm up for us, and I still agree. Maybe if we do lose it 5-0 some changes will be made. Freddie isn't captain material, he's a guy to inspire everyone but he can't handle himself or others in the way vaughan can

chant of the day was definitely the barmy army's rendition of "we all live in a yellow submarine"

the barmy army's version was "you all live in a convict colony"

yes but macgill & hogg were of a reasonable age back then Now I look for 'new' aussie spinners & only see maybe 2 people, neither of who would come close to Warne, not even combined

In the town where I was born, there lived a man who was a thief
And he told me of his life, stealing bread and shagging sheep.
So they put him in the nick, and then a magistrate he went to see
He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony"
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony

it's good

Heard the funniest cricket call yesterday.

Mark Taylor -

"He's come out willing to use his bat looking to hit the ball"

LOL, No fucken shit!

at least you got commentary. Most of our broadcast was spent with ian botham taking the piss out of nasser hussain who'd declined to go on a nye bender on a boat somewhere off sydney with beefy & some others & was generally taking the piss out of nas & atherton too. Then Ian Healy decided to wind Athers up, telling him that Richie Benaud's advice of "standing an extra pace back at slip to the spinners at the scg" was just so he'd drop them all from being too far back. Good days.

Don't worry Ian, the English aren't the worst cricket team I've seen recently.

Went to a state 20/20 match on monday, SA dropped 4 catches in the field (3 by one guy, and 1 where 3 fielders stopped to let the others catch it and it dropped inbetween them all), and then managed to lose 4 wickets in 3 legal balls

what the?

hayden just went out, langer made 26 in his last innings, oh well

Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc, but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

"My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer is really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him."

The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to ask him if that was really true.

"No" said Billy, "He plays cricket for England but I was just too embarrassed to say."

run out on a wide
caught
run out
bowled

therefore 4 wickets in 4 balls, but one was a wide

haha cool, was thinking there was a no ball or something in there, forgot!

4/188 at the end of the day

5-0 and it's to be expected. I said at the start of the series that we did not deserve anything from this series & that's to be the case. While duncan fletcher puts clowns like giles & geraint jones in the side, we have no chance. Cook is not ready, we've missed vaughan & trescothick but it's not an excuse. Flintoff didn't do enough with bat, and read hadn't got a chance, You can't be dropped for 3 matches, no cricket and then is expected to score big runs. Wtf are they thinking.

simply put, fletcher out, Botham in. Restore pride, and see you at test level next time (hopefully with guys like steven davies, stuart broad, simon jones etc able to play.

they should let mcgrath open the batting

ok. step one in rehab for the england team. captaincy goes to a real leader. Even with a fucked up knee, vaughan inspires us so much. And we need that after the england management realised that as much as a hero as flintoff can be with bat or ball, captain he is not.

go twenty20!! haha got the tip from gumble to put jjj on for commentary, love it! time to fire up the wok kylie kwong!

"the english incompetency is at such a level that even when they try to get out they can't"

lol

so 5-0 thrashing in the tests, now hammered in the twenty20, maybe they can salvage a tie against new zealand in the one-day games?

having fun in here talking to yourself Philbs?

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.

The second sign is when you start looking for the first sign.

The third sign is when you actualy find a sign that tells you where the second sign is.

The fourth sign is finding the second sign which tells you the first sign is not even there.

Then you tell yourself, "this is crazy, I'm seeing signs everywhere" (The first sign)

BINGO .... You're mad!

what do you mean talking to myself, philby was here the whole time!!


man i think i saw more reverse sweep shots in that england innings than i've seen my whole life! and about 3 of them came off properly! lol
