Why do you enjoy seeing England's cricket team get beaten ?

[KL70]

Irrespective whether you dislike or even admire England's cricket team, why do you enjoy seeing them get beaten in cricket tests (whether they're Ashes related or not) ?

This is of course a thread aimed at multi-national cricket forums...

I find it funny to see players of such good caliber just lose so badly at times. What surprises me more is the fact that when they lose, they lose comprehensively !!!!!

I like seeing them lose because SP's response to it on CW is always so fresh and original...

 

[Richard]

I was gonna respond to that but then it'd be "the latest example of my never-ending tirade against him".

This is just the latest example of your never-ending tirade against EX... uhh.. Scaly.

Coz they're English, and I'm Australian.

I have no real reason to hate English sports teams, I just do!

I don't even want to hate them anymore ffs.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Hate England, TBH. Hope they lose every game. Worst team.

 

[Richard]

You've more in common with Peter Roebuck than you might like to think.

BTW, I've always thought there was something dodgy about Flintoff's action...

Not a lot in reality, but a lot in perception, TBH.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Because I know Scaly will be fuming.

True, but schadenfreude is an entirely different proposition.

I enjoy seeing the England cricket team lose at ODI cricket, because it's so obvious that they don't take it very seriously most of the times. I support the Test team though.

I detest the England football teams. They're the international Real Madrid in my mind - full of stars, but not a real team.

Ditto for mine.

I don't really care what happens with the English team results-wise unless they're playing a team I support. I like to see some individuals doing well though.
