Post by: larwood on Thursday, January 25, 2007, 16:19:21
I'm only posting this because i'm bored,sorry :(  Starts tomorrow at 3.15am really hope no one is going to bother getting up to watch it!Lewis and Anderson are injury doubts as well, just to add another layer to the pie of unhappiness that is watching the England cricket team at the moment  :cry:

i will get up to listen to it on sports extra. Also it is Australia day which will make it worse. The Aussie press want then to score 400 against us.

Oh the usual arrogance from those wankers!

In Kevin Keegan style "I'd love it! love it! if we get a result against them!"

The aussie press suggested that last week and they only won by 4 wickets. I hope we win tomorrow. Would like to see Loye sweep Lee again for 6.

Errrrrrrrm there's no chance of Australia scoring 400! we were all out for 110.

Send the fuckers home.  :evil: and ship out Blunsdon to the WC to take their place.

Dreadfull, Spineless, Shocking Batting Performance. Collingwood also dropped Ponting.

110 :soapy tit wank:  What a joke, who said they would win the Ashes? Have they won a match on this tour yet (other than against Sunday League teams)?

True though,the Aussies are so much better than everyone else its untrue.Our ODI form leading up to going down under was very poor so its not much of a shock that we've been losing,but its the style of the defeats,they are slaughtering us :( Its painful now ,wish they could just concede the remaining games and come home.

DONT QUIT..They should grow some bollocks and show some pride.As you know im not a cricket fan but even i can see that they are a joke.From the outside some one like myself looks at that cricket team and just see some young lads who have got caught up in there own hype and glory after the ashes win..

What, any difference? EVER?

Of course, it's too late for the World Cup, we all know we are going to fail miserably out in the Windies whoever is in charge of the team. Might as well replace him now, the sooner the better, as you're alluding to, he's only going to be booted out after the WC, why wait?

:?  Before he was injured?

He was our best batsman in the Ashes just gone, with a reasonable average (given the circumstances) of 54.4

he has been our most consistent batsman in ODI Cricket for the past year with 600-700 runs with 6 scores of 50 in about 13 matches.

KP is currently ranked the world's 2nd best ODI batsman, and 3rd best test batsman.

we can't keep using injuries as an exuse though. yes KP is a big loss but someone else who plays should be half decent

id prefer Bopara yes. but the point im making is the replacment for KP whoever it may be is good enough to do a job. so why are they underperforming? (i will make an exception of Joyce's inning against New Zealand the other day). Also if we are not performing well as a team (and we are not) then its because we are playing crap not because we have injuries

Rich i do agree with you mate. I think they are lacking Confidence i think do not want to be there and they have got into a losing Mentality which they need to get rid off quickly or the players and team will suffer. I think there will be changes on Tuesday in Perth against NZ

when will strauss and bell start playing like the class batsmen they are and hit through the ball as opposed to trying to work everything down to third man in strauss' case and prodding about for bell
