Anyone here play? That lot at Headingly obviously can't.

yeah i do, or try i should say, i reckon half the aussies on this site must be queuing/queueing up for a run in our national side... i bet the day rate is crap though..I mean FFS he was just here on holiday wasn't he?

I was there for all four days. It's come to something when our best 4 batsmen on Monday (i.e. those that put up most resistance) were:-

Stuart Broad
Jimmy Anderson
Monty Panesar
Darren Pattinson

That's right, the damn bowlers....

yeah maybe they should just do away with the problamatic decision of the the 5th bowler/extra batsmen and pick 10 bowlers and bring back Jack Russell or a Jack Russell - bound to be better than Ambrose

perhaps we should set up a contractors 11 and challenge them to a match...

what would we call ourselves?

Have you ever read a book called "Penguins stopped play?" It's about a bunch of really rubbish cricketers..... hilarious

yes funnily enough i've read it recently..a good read...alas i think my silky skills are probably up to the standard of the penguin fielding at short leg.
