Are you able to hold a piece of Willow for a while
can you throw a red round thing ?
Do you look good in white ?
Then join the England Cricket side, you canna do worse than anyone else :p
Also please tell our guys that cricket is 5 days not 3 cos it's getting majorly embarassing, you don't realise how pissed off we are that we're capitulating, ah well come Melbourne Hopefully Freddie will be back, at least he plays with passion |

Sadly, I think we were trying to do that :(
Times like this make me wish my grandad hadn't moved to england so I'd have been born in Aus and have a cricket team to be proud of
Ah well at least next summer my county team, Derbyshire have Michael Di Venuto and Nathan Astle as our overseas players, should be some decent batting to watch :D |

Just a thought, but have you guys considered redirecting your funds to another area - such as youth development.
It's widely known that Australia's success can be attributed to our development system and how we nurture our future talent. I think you guys have a lot of good players over there who aren't getting the proper attention they deserve. Surely, the Gooches, the Snows, and your other legends (sorry that's all I could come up with :p) could lend some sorta assistance.
Anywayz, that's my remotely-intellectual view for the week. I'm just pissed that I only get to see the Cricket Show three times instead of the proposed 5. :happy2: |

Yes, I'd love that to happen, but the money goes to 3 counties, Yorkshire (gough hoggard vaguhan silverwood & Lehmann was there) Surrey (Stewart Tudor Butcher Thorpe Batty etc) and Lancs who had Atherton & got Flintoff now.
Other problems are that cricket is not played in schools now, since i left mine the cricket pitch was sold for housing and also it's seen as a posh sport, so theres hardly ne youth comin through, IMO we need Under 21 tests like football but so the youth know what its like and can see if they can handle it all, most of the younger cricket fans are cos its in the family, like me, My dads been an Umpire for 25 years now and been as high as first-class games which is cool.
if you think we're bad now, in 15 years I think we'll be dead :( Good job I wanna move back to Aus to the other half of my family, cos I might be able to follow some games then :D |

| Look; Cricket is Boring and should be abolished alltogether from the face of the planet.... My guess is; Brits finally realized its a stupid thing to do and gave less attention to it, resulting poor performance in that so called sport!! My opinion is Aussies giving it too far attention unlike other nations and they keep winning. Simple as that...! Cricket??????? Nahhhhhhhhhh.:haha: |

are we ed ? Pretty much so
We've announed our one day squad, a few decent guys to watch out for
Ian Blackwell - Tall built like a brick house left handed batsmen & off spinner, kinda like Andrew Symonds for you guys
Kabir Ali - Young player of the year, Fast bowler, regularly 90mph+ but may be a bit erratic if nerves show, hope not though
Robert Key - Decent prospect, you seen a bit of him in the last 2 tests, finding his feet and hopefully do ok for us
Paul Collingwood - Weird player, bowls a Damien Martyn Medium Pacer, usually narrow, worked wonders in NZ last March, Useful batsmen, very creative & strong on the leg side, been playing club cricket in Melbourne this winter to keep fit for this
Also Ben Hollioake was finding his feet before his unfortunate death in February in Perth :( such a waste of talent gone, and he'd just broke into the 1 day team. |

ehehehehe we've been playing backyard and beach cricket for the last week at my friend's beach house with tennis balls and we're all average/crap it's been so much fun.
The most classic photo is of nick batting with one hand, beer in the other, and a ciggy in his mouth...
I wanna see the australian team make an effort like that, and play cricket the aussie way ;) |
