What do you expect of the captain of England? Its a tough job!

 

[Rik]

England may have lost but in no way was it anywhere near a thrashing. Good to see England's bowling somewhere close to clicking.

 

[marc71178]

I'm guessing the pitch was a bit bowler friendly judging by the scores...

 

[Blewy]

Great start by England to their only chance of winning a game on this tour...

They are 4/53 after 15 overs against the PM's XI....

Paul Rofe 3/34 from 6 been exspensive but taking wickets.....

It doesn't help if God isn't on your side with Injuries...but now he seems to have shifted his attention onto the players' performances too

 

[Tim]

thats now 58/5.
Blackwell gets dropped & then next ball plays straight to mid-wicket.

None of these players appear to be in any form what so ever.

 

[Blewy]

Carseldine, an Mediocre bowler at best has taken 2/5 from 4 overs...
Whats Doin there???

Errrrm...why are they even bowling him? He has like 2 Wickets in 19 Domestic OD Games...

 

[Tim]

Maybe because they thought he'd get a good chance today to imrove those stats, lol

 

[Blewy]

Maybe England should swap their Blind team for their Main team, seems as though they couldn't do much worse...

How can you imrove them?

 

[Tim]

imrove is a new word...
it means change your statistics very quickly.

 

[Tim]

Flintoff & Shah seem to be doing alright
their partnership is now above 20 which is good going.

 

[Tim]

Oh...and then Flintoff awoke from his dream & decided to throw his wicket away.

84/6.

 

[Blewy]

Well done tim Flintoff OUT!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

6/84

 

[Tim]

oops, there goes Shah aswell c & b

85/7.

in all seriousness...this really is a disgraceful performance against a team which really only has 3 or 4 well known players in it.

 

[Blewy]

and another one...

What a carve up......

CL White (LBG) 3 0 9 2

 

[jaspalsinghrana]

Oh my lord, i can't believe what's hapenning, the English team is worse than what i actually thought about them(and you know how i regard them)
Untill now people have been saying that the English team have been losing to a strong Aussie team, but their performance against a virtually unknown players is a real disgust!

[warrioryohannan]

Well atleast they reached 152, at one stage even getting to 100 looked difficult!

 

[Blewy]

Yeah, i think they are in with a chance though, the PM's XI batting isn't the strongest and the conditions look tough...

Should be a good chase....

C'Mon PM's XI u win and my bet is as good as safe.....
