**Official** Sri Lanka in England / Scotland - 2011

[Burgey]

It's alright, Australia cling to their big land mass like a guy with a small **** in a big car.

Says the country that still clings to the 1966 Football World Cup like my daughter did to her Teddy bear when she was four.

Changing support to the Stalin that is India from the Hitler that is England in the upcoming series.

Come on Bhajji!!! Or whatever your stupid nickname is.

With Australia's level of incompetence, I guess you're Mussolini.

 

[Bun]

Bull****. One cloud covers the whole "nation".

No. If we were truly incompetent we'd be the English High Command circa 1914-1918.

Maybe 1916-1917, by 1918 the BEF was the most capable in the world.

Recent cricketing history suggesting they're Poland itbt.

I look forwards to the next 15 minute session at 3.

What time's tea?

 

[Burgey]

By 1918 the BEF was having it's head handed to it. We all know who played the largest part in stopping the break through.

And to ignore 1914-15 is a terrible oversight, with respect. The high command hardly started brightly but regressed for a couple of years in the middle.

Shot! Mr Cook.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lovely shot from Cook there. If there's one thing a bowler shouldn't give him is width.

The rain is about to return, and it will be heavy for a time. Players off the pitch for 30-45 minutes I expect.

LOL, another victim of the 'all British Generals were cavalrymen or stupid' doctrine. Try reading around a bit, break out of the pre- school, one dimensional and short sighted view of the Great War.

 

[BoyBrumby]

This is so annoying.

FWIW, given I'm well over 100 miles north, it's caning down here now. So much so that my Sky box lost its signal just as the players came off.

Five gets you all the cash you can think of that I've read a ****load more about it than you have.

Off you go.

On an unrelated subject, this thread is lacking the fun and humour of Migara. Can we all agree on that?

 

[GIMH]

Think I'll play some Footy Manager for a bit

Oh Burgey, thought you were off to bed. Go to sleep FFS

"By 1918 the BEF was having it's head handed to it."

This suggests not.

Quite right. Nothing at all happened in the early months of 1918 which caused the BEF the slightest consternation.

Edit: off to bed here. Frustrating days play this. Could have been a good one.

Hasza, be happy to chat about this at a slightly more friendly hour. Have a good one.

Restart at 4, and tea at 4:40

Why aren't they taking Tea now?! Then they could still have a three hour session from 4 til seven?! Or is it that they wouldn't be able to play past 7 in that case???
