Good post, dodgy. As a cricketer myself, it matters to me.

What I found frustrating is that all that professionalism England built up over six years, with Hussain and Vaughan as captains, seems to have dissolved. We could give anyone a game up to 2005. In 2004, we broke the world record for tests won in a calendar year.

And who's queen is it that hands out MBEs to blokes for scoring seven runs?
Oh wait...

Actually a lot of us do give a tulipe, and so should we. We are all competitive and we all need to feel as though we belong to something whether it be family, footy darts or the local lager drinking club. Obviously there are those of us who live their whole sad sorry lives little lives through their football team, but it is important that sports teams compete to the best of their ability if they are picked and paid to play for their clubs or country.

whether you like players like Shane Warne or not is really immaterial. Apart fom the fact that it pleases him if the poms are upset, it is people like him who entertain and make many people happy. It is also people like him who will provide interest and entertainment for many many years.

To some of you cricket is a pointless sport, but so is anything else we do. Our performance on the cricket pitch and our couldnt give a tulip attitude is symptomatic of the way our society is run in this country.

Well done Australia, from one thoroughly pissed off pom

Yep, you got it.

Your Queen.

Aye. Oz is a sad, third rate country whose sole talent is sport. They're like the stupid little kid at school who can make really good paper aeroplanes and is not good at much else. When he's made the plane he says "Look how wonderful I am, look at my brilliant plane, it's much better than yours - ne ne ne" - not realising that no-one gives a tulipe.

Too late. Some fat Dutch bloke has knocked our top man off his perch.

And none of your lot will be as fat as our very very fat bloke Andy Fordham. There isn't enough food in the whole of Poland!

We're one-all in popes though, and you are one-nil up in chemical elements.

England may not have any chemical elements, but Scotland does (strontium).

FFS, it's bat and ball.

Get over it.

England were pulverised on the fourth day of the Sydney Test as the Aussie juggernaut swept to its fifth win in five with another immaculate showing.

The resultant whitewash was the first since 1920-21, a 10-wicket win wrapped up shortly before lunch on Friday.

The situation was a hopeless one for England when play began: they were 114-5, with a lead of just 12.

And England were blown away for 147 to leave Australia needing 46 to win. They got there without losing a wicket.

"Given the lack of competition the English are giving us perhaps they could consider outsourcing cricket to the Poles? Forget the ashes, we'll play for the ogorky."

Australia has the highest suicide rate in the world and some of the ugliest woman. No wonder you all hark on about the cricket.

[lilelvis2000]

About 12 hours left until the first ashes series whitewash for 80 odd years.

I think under Sharia the english team would recieve 40 lashes for their pitiful "performance".

[GeorgeGregan]

We have the worlds strongest man and we have never lost to Australia at cricket rugby or football. when we get fatter we will beat you at darts also.

I'm trying to think what the Poles could beat England at. They won one out of about fifteen at football. Do Poles play anything else?
