*Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

[hazsa19]

Should have stayed in bed. Can't believe we're gonna piss away another game of cricket.

 

[Uppercut]

Our best bowler being available wouldn't have made a difference though don't you know.

Either that or Cevno is the latest India fan to feel threatened by England stringing a few results here and there over the last 18 months and as such feels the need to call us crap. Take your pick tbh.

Best 3 bowlers tbh.

 

[pup11]

Time to bring Taity into the attack and ring him back into some sort of form....

 

[GIMH]

Best 3 bowlers tbh.

Oh definitely, but he didn't even mention Swann.

 

[hazsa19]

Wtf is Bresnan doing? Look at the scoreboard!

If all he can do is stand on 1 leg and swipe he should be down at 11.

 

[Spark]

Dispense with the bouncers, please.

 

[Jacknife]

Come on Bressy

Lol.. Give it a rest mate. Couple blokes called Hussey and Ponting kind of evens that out. Neither side is at full strength here tbf.

I stand by my words if Bresnan makes an unbeaten 50 consisting entirely of swipes

Don't think GIMH is trying to claim that wrt to this series, more than writing them off for the WC is a bad idea

 

[Cevno]

...



LOL.

As I say, the batting should be criticised here, but it's one match. And had Swann played, you maybe would have fancied us to get them out for less, so yeah, he'd have made a difference.

And i was criticising your batting only.

The bowling did a good job.

 

[Redbacks]

England lack a link 'man'. Once the batters get out nobody seems to be able to stick around and the tail seem to be left exposed. Collingwood probably the man for that role

 

[Burgey]

I'm prepared to do that, but I hate England

Seriously though, not because Prior missed out tonight, but Bell should open up for the Poms, surely?

Yeah - not making excuses mate - just a comment on the general quality of our side, as Spark said. Although Ponting?! Pfft. When was the last time he scored a run?

[pup11]

If a batsman needs a runner then he should bat at #11 it should be as simple as that.

 

[GIMH]

You said the missing bowlers would have made no difference.

We had Australia 146-8 (ish).

Our top-class spinner isn't playing.

You were, therefore, wrong.

NB - the batting should be criticised, but you seem to think that this one match writes us off for the WC. Laughable.

 

[hazsa19]

You gotta make Twatto captain of your test side. Drop him down the order and ask him to bowl 15 overs a day.

In the 8 weeks or so i've been watching Australia...i've come to the conclusion he's your man. He's your future.

If he were English he would be the next Botham.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah - not making excuses mate - just a comment on the general quality of our side, as Spark said. Although Ponting?! Pfft. When was the last time he scored a run?

He's better in ODIs at three than Clarke tbf, even with one hand.

 

[Cevno]

They have a couple of Batsmen missing though too.

And even if i am threatened what would I achieve to right them off?

I guess time will tell(I maybe wrong too) ,but I don't see England as a real big threat for the World cup for some reasons.

I guess we have to agree to disagree for now.

Remind me how Botham as captain please.

I'd rather our captain not be a man who uses the referral system at any opportunity in any case
