    ICC teaches FIFA. No Penalties! If game is tied after ET team with most corners wins

    After thrashing Australia/India and beating New Zealand twice, it feels quite 'proper' to us, with the pleasure accentuated by your jealousy.:laugh::laugh::laugh: WORLD CHAMPIONS*

    Final - England v New Zealand

    Do you think so?...I thought his shot to get out in the NZ innings was incredibly irresponsible at that particular stage of the innings.

    ICC teaches FIFA. No Penalties! If game is tied after ET team with most corners wins

    Don't feel sorry for us...we don't care if there is *, a rabbit or a flying radish after the title of WORLD CHAMPIONS.

    8th Match - South Africa v India

    :laugh::laugh:8-)

    8th Match - South Africa v India

    That + attitude is the only way they are going to have a chance here...as Pakistan showed against England, weaker sides can beat far superior sides with an all guns blazing early attitude (including riding the luck their attitude created). As Pakistan showed a great early 10-15 overs puts teams...

    England is number 1 cuz they poached the best players from other countries not fair

    ...who legally adopted him at a very young age.

    South Africa team selection

    Yeah he has been brilliant on his travels ...silly me.

    South Africa team selection

    Over 60% of all wickets in the tournament so far and half of Englands wickets against SA were off the short ball,so the tactics were not wrong from that perspective...the issues is that the people they were relying on to bowl them were awful. Ngidi was carted all over the park early doors and...

    England is number 1 cuz they poached the best players from other countries not fair

    And then we will try and lecture him and his sort on sandpaper usage and the world will have flipped totally upside down!

    1st Match - England v South Africa at The Oval

    Very different...the IPL franchises are very happy with the players living with their families in India during the tournament. International cricket teams will not hear of such things.

    1st Match - England v South Africa at The Oval

    Of course it was not.a stupid time to retire..he has just had two kids in the last three years. ...It is the best time of his life to be there for his wife / family...cricket is just a game in comparison.

    1st Match - England v South Africa at The Oval

    They will need a much better batting line up for that too happen

    England is number 1 cuz they poached the best players from other countries not fair

    I don't suggest going back as far as Grandparents...but are you really suggesting that a lad with English parentage should not be able to play for England. It is an absolute immediate link which is far stronger than just being born in a particular geographical region. My boys were both born In...

    South Africa team selection

    Spot on...both are erratic, but on their day unplayable. It was 'these days' that was needed to try and eek out an improbable win...not playing safe. Faf gets lots of love with the SA press but I have never really seen why really. He is great when his team is on top but something of a bokkie in...

    South Africa team selection

    I think that everyone could issue a different permutation of what the SA starting line up should be...however the fact remains that this SA squad is very poor thus diluting the impact of whatever team is chosen. It was not helped by Faf's captaincy. He knows he has a ridiculously long tail in...

    England is number 1 cuz they poached the best players from other countries not fair

    I really cannot see what the issue is with Archer. His father is English. Are we really suggesting that blood/genetics should not be a factor and only the physical location of the particular sod of earth you were born upon should be considered when deciding upon qualification characteristics...

    England is number 1 cuz they poached the best players from other countries not fair

    and of course righteous indignation...
  18. Pom_in_SA

    England is number 1 cuz they poached the best players from other countries not fair

    And in return we gave you cricket, the toilet and the knife and fork...so it wasn't all bad.
