Being an England cricket fan

Is a frustrating business. Sometimes I wish I didn't follow it. Seems like they can't get through an innings without a collapse these days, even on the most tame of batting wickets. Grrrrrr. Pile of dung.

WTF ??? It was 41-0 when I last looked.

Strauss was waltzing along nicely then stood on his stumps. Vaughan was out next ball (another duck - obviously), and Pietersen played with usual impetuousness and made it to 4 before being given out caught (when he should have been given out lbw). What a shower.

Apparently Michael Vaughn has had wheels attached to the bottom of his bat to save him carrying it back and forth to the pavillion...

This summer must surely be Vaughan's last as captain now. He'll be lucky even if he manages to keep his place.

Well he's not in the team for his batting at the moment!!!! Who would you make captain instead though? I think a batsman usually makes for a better captain, so that only really leaves strauss - and I don't think he's up to it, so its a tricky one. Maybe Ian Bell or Alistair Cook? not sure either could stand the pressure that goes with it though.

Anyone going to the Oval?.. care to join me in a chorus of;

The wheels on the bat go round and round, round and round..

Who will take his place?

The umpire on the field says off you go, off you go, off you go ... All day long.

Make Pieterson the captain.

No i think it has to be within the strict selection criteria of the surname being Vaughn.

Perhaps Jonny Vaughn
