Yeah but he has transferred the promise to tests too which not many expected.

I dunno, I think that's just a fitness thing. When I first came on cricketweb, a lot of people thought he'd be a good test player but there was pretty much no hope for him in terms of ODI batting. Only really turned round after the 2007 world cup.

I'll say that's it's not very funny and we'll leave it at that.

At least, that's what it appeared in the short time I stumbled upon it. Just before you get any ideas. :dry:

I am pretty disgusted with myself that I was talking up McKay to my dad before the match. A definite fail for me there, on this evidence. Guess I should have looked at his figures for Yorkshire.

Ok, let's look at the facts. You posted "They have been beating crap sides and thinking they have improved when in reality they haven't."

Let's see whether this is the case, if we have been poor over the past year and only feasted on weaker teams at home to have an inflated sense of self-worth....

Beat NZ away
Beat Pakistan at home
Beat West Indies at home
Beat India away
Won the Champions Trophy
Beat England (6-1) away,

Those are the facts. Maybe I do need glasses.

I don't think Watson has massively improved in the last 12 months so much as he's managed to stay fit for a good period of time thus he managed to stay in the side and his confidence has improved.

That India away series was epic, I really enjoyed it. I loved the underdogs thing.

Flibbers. There's not a character limit on here, this isn't Twitter, you're allowed to put spaces after full stops and comma's ;)

KP gone. His marvelous ODi form continue. He looks due a score, but just can't buy one. Relying on Morgan again then...

Meanwhile, back at the cricket KP gives it away. Top catch from Punter too. Still a great fielder in his advancing years.

Impending purchase of a fly swatter for YT I think.

Can someone who can think and breathe at the same time (not this ****wit) tell me what's happened in this match thus far please? I've only just woken up.

Give it a rest, flibbertyjibber. No need for any of this.

In other news, great catch from Ricky to dismiss KP. Loved the little face he pulled afterwards, like a bonobo caught in the act of pleasuring itself.

To be very honest only India and Champions Trophy can be called "good" contests. NZ are almost there, but Pakistan, West Indies and England were quite dire in ODIs. What about the series losses at homes against India, SA, and drawn (iirc) with NZ and also away series loss against SA?

Yeah but New Zealand,Pakistan,West Indies and us last year after we had relaxed having won the ashes are hardly difficult are they?

Well NZ are one of the better ODI sides in the world, but that's not the point now is it. It's your ridiculous claims that we've merely beaten some weak sides at home and that's all we've done in the past year.

Aussie top order was slow, Watto got in and then got out with a hoik, White rescued things, none of them were good enough for the wonderful Broad.

Then the Aussies bowled crap for a while, and now they're pegging things back a little.
