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.

Oh wait...
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

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.
Oh wait...

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.

Originally posted by ClipheadEngland 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.

Originally posted by wendigo100I'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?
