Nothing at all wrong with arrogance if you can back it up.

No. There is nothing wrong with CONFIDENCE.
ARROGANCE aint a good thing mate

A statement like you just made is in itself ARROGANT

 

[GIMH]

yer i can accept i acknowledged englands performance today, but with symonds injuried it seems "deadbeat"?

Fair point, after all, we haven't had any injuries

 

[Fiery]

Come on Cam White!

How do you tweak a bicep trying to play a cut shot?!... you muscle-bound meathead!

Just like NZ aswell. The Sunday match would be our first in the series with a full strength side. Looking forward to it

Why in the blue hell are you quoting me for?

 

[Burgey]

Haha, you over-estimate the stupidity of the media. Don't worry, there won't be any fanfare after this from anyone IMO.

We've been utterly pillaged this tour and nothing that happens now will change that. Tests were all important and we were awful so that's what'll stick in my mind.

I do get annoyed with how people associate what the media say to what England fans feel and think. I certainly don't agree with a lot of what got printed after the Ashes but it seems the brush is out sweeping.

Yeah, fair point. We all like a bit of guilt by association.

BTW, this Bopara fella looks good. Where's he been?

Sorry Jono, that was a mistake mate. Force of habit from you being the previous post

A bit harsh possibly?

As an England fan looking at Australia I feel they have earned the right to be arrogant.

I dont think anybody should ever EARN the right to be ARROGANT

arrogance (noun)
offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.

Cam White gone! Game, set and match.

It was an over-reaction by Kiwininja but I can understand his view-point. These Aussies really think they're own **** doesn't stink sometimes. Nice to see them get a towelling tonight to set up a great finale to this tournament....Nixon held onto one!

Jon Selby writes: "These one-sided games are hampering England's World Cup preparations. We need to start playing someone who will really test us." Here we go ...

WOuldn't call it one-sided just yet, personally, but still made me

 

[meatspx]

Australia certainly are not arrogant.

It's just fun to have a go at the Aussies, even if it isn't true. And from the reactions of fans of Australia and perhaps their team, it might be working.

White gone, p*** off your out!
Who the hell does this team think they are? A slogger who can only hit through the onside batting at 7? Braken at 8? Hah!

 

[andyc]

Last chance of winning goes

"Symonds will not bat under any circumstances," apparently. Australia have more than half an eye on more important contests

Boooo

 

[GIMH]

Oooh oooh oooh

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah, White's dismissal was the end, but really it was probably over from the time Hussey got out, if Symonds was never going to come back out to bat.

Good win for England, batted very well and bowled well with the new ball.

 

[Craig]

Well Australia had to lose sometime, not that they loss all that much anyway. Surely Hodge will never play ODIs again?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Definition of complacency anyone?

Sorry if i offended anyone, or was a bit too harsh. Just trying to say that arrogance is something that nobody should strive for. Maybe its just misunderstanding of the actually word itself.

Yes, gonna be a great finale, unless the Black Caps beat Aussie at the MCG, which im picking. Then the last game wont really matter too much, even while England would still have a mathematical chance.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Did you get abused and have beer spilt on you all day by a really annoying, uncouth kiwi bastard with a shocking Waikato accent? Yeah, that was me.

Fairly close, except he had particular hatred for Symonds and spent the entirity of his innings howling abuse (racial and otherwise) at him. Also, to be fair, he didn't spill beer on me.

When you go through most of your summer undefeated i reckon its fair enough.

Get over it.
