Hated Players

[FaaipDeOiad]

When I say English players, I of course mean those who play for the England team.

I believe that about half of them are not actually English.

Okay okay, that was kind of funny.

Glenn McGrath, the bloke is just so in love with himself, no class at all in the way he conducts himself both on and off the field (in the media).

Touche.

And Andrew Symonds is I suppose? Born and bred in BIRMINGHAM!

I hate Damien Martyn... doesnt smile.. doesnt talk... boring boring man.

 

[Shane Warne]

And England would give their left testicle for him to have played for them, whereas England happily take the Australian rejects with open arms.

He was the only guy in the team to get any runs in the ODI series.
(He got 2 centuries, average of 47.0).If you're talking abt. tests, batsmen of both sides struggled on those sub-standard pitches.There were only 3 fifties in the whole series.The highest score in the 2nd test was 39.So he cant be judged on the basis of that series.

The ODIs are totally irrelevant.
The pitches weren't substandard, they were just unusually seam-friendly. And they exposed quite a few batsmen, Sehwag included.

Updated List:

1) Kevin Pietersen
2) Arjuna Ranatunga
3) Muttiah Muralitharan
4) Shoaib Akhtar

Although hate is a bit of a strong word, except for the first two, and the third one I don't have a problem with off the field..

That's only fair, after all.

We started you off with the dregs of our society, now we've got a cricket team comprising the dregs of everyone else's.

Hand picking their sterling-seeking players from a good three countries and get hammered by a country of less than a third their population?

While doing the utmost to hate everything South African other than that which has defected here.

And our dregs have gone on to completely dominate you, I see England have adopted a different approach now. By importing the dregs from other countries you hope to be able to compete against Australia again.

Not a chance mate englishmen are just to physically weak to take on Aussies.

Oh but of course. Anyone who doesn't defect is so inexplicably stupid they should be shot at rorkes's drift at dawn.

I love your patriotism scally, it oozes out of your every pore.


And physically weak??? Wouldn't be so sure.........

Ah, thanks for explaining that - every Englishman who hates South African cricket in every way is now justified (!)

Pietersen actually strikes me as being more "Aussie" than English... (No offence Aussies)

I'd love to tell that to his face

Strauss sounds about as English as a plate of chicken foo-yong... When did he move?
