India on the other hand....against the world's best spin attack....on turning wickets.....
Cool, England are 4th, but I suppose we are still crap TendulkarMark2? [/quote]Originally posted by Rik

What has that to do with the argument??? The point is that those pitches suits teams like Pakistan more than Australia just like Indian pitches suits Indian team more than Aussie team!Originally posted by Mr Mxyzptlk
Sharjah has very good conditions for batsmen and a flat wicket. Why do you think so much ODI cricket is played there?Originally posted by TendulkarMark2
Australia defeated Pakistan in Sharjah, the conditions were NOT similar to the Aussies
Sorry, but i'm not alone in critisizing England, questions are being asked as to whether Englishmen actually know how to play cricket atall?? If you can't take it then just stop using the net and take a break from cricket!Originally posted by Rik
I'm sorry but if no one has won there for ages and even the 2nd best team in the world loose then I don't think you can claim we are a disgrace. Also England have showed some fight, just look at Key, Harmison, Vaughan...and strangely even Dawson. They have all shown some fight. If you've got nothing better to say than England are rubbish without any real basis for an arguement other than some sort of general problem with the England Cricket Team as a whole then just leave it.
If you continue to lose like you have been doing, then you will soon go down the ladder! [/quote]Originally posted by TendulkarMark2

Again I point out that this is one bad series, and anyone would lose to that team. Aside from that out record in recent times is not too bad!If you continue to lose like you have been doing, then you will soon go down the ladder!
How so? Man for man the Aussie attack is better for those conditions, and the batsmen are certainly better suited.The point is that those pitches suits teams like Pakistan more than Australia just like Indian pitches suits Indian team more than Aussie team!
That they drew the series had a lot to do with the weather - had the matches been concluded Australia would have won at least 2 and possibly all 3!NO team in recent past have won matches in Aus but team like NZ have drawn series (which you choose to ignore).
Unlikely as we won't lose any points for this.Infact if they lose 2 Australia again in the last 2 test matches then they might come down 2 5th slot !
I saw the last over's commentary. The first shot hit for six, they said Waugh 'monstered it' with a sweep slog. I thought that was cool. Hey wouldn't that be a great job to do - any job where you get paid to watch cricket is pretty good!Originally posted by Tim
21.4 Irani to Slater, no run, taken on the pad going a mile down leg, stupid prolonged appeal is ignored
I'm wasn't comparing the two team, just the conditions that were favouring a certain team.Its a fact that pitches on Sharjah Suits Pakistani batters more than the pitches in AUS.Australia had a vastly superior batting lineup to Pak , it wasn't the conditions that suited Australian batters more.Originally posted by marc71178

get your facts right, NZ were denied of a victory in the third test by umpiring blunders, NZ were certainly winning the match.To say that Aus would have won the series 3-0 is insult to imagination!Originally posted by marc71178
