:beers:  :beers:

we won! (with blackwell hitting a massive six)

well done lads, bowled well...strauss was the main man batting (retired hurt due to dehydration) and anderson and mahmood (which shocked me) did very well with the ball...

batting still not good enough, reliant on one innings. prior and solanki we need to find someone else now. still at least it's not a whitewash.

interestingly india had 5 singhs on the field at one stage.

Indoor cricket is the way forward. You have to use plastic bats, a tennis ball and if you hit it you have to run. You can catch it off the walls/ceilings one handed using the 'one bounce one hand' rule!

It's certainly the way forward up your way. I'd imagine it's the only way to get through a days play without a rain interruption up there.

It concerns me slightly the number of people with links to the Pox on here.

Half the forum seem to be from O'shire or live there now. Why is that?

Because the Town of Swindon itself is absolutely woeful at supporting its own football team.  :disapprove:

Half our fans originally come from outside the town. Havnt you figured that out yet?

I was born in Swindon and my father's side of the family took me to see Swindon so they are in my blood.

If I am honest, I am glad I have never lived in Swindon as it is a tad on the shit side. (no offence to those of you that live there!)

most of them are injured to be fair and would you rather have freddie fully fit for big stuff like the ashes and wc07 or play in this pointless game

freddie is an exception as he plays his heart out all the time and he needs a rest so yeah id rather he not get injured. we could do with some of the players who played in the last game to play a bit more and see how they get on. worth a punt really. we aint going to get anywhere without changing things thats for sure
