Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
Well we scored 11 moe runs in the second innigs so thats gotta be looked at as a positve from the game. Something else to consider would be instead of looking towards reverse swing hows about reverse batsman order

Cricinfo:
England, well, go home and hang your heads in shame. It has been a pathetic performance from them. They were okay with the ball but the batting has just been the stuff of schoolboys. No discipline, no fight, no commitment, no pride it seems in playing for England.
They have rolled over so meakly that it will take something for several of these cricketers to recover. This final defeat has confirmed, surely, that they are the worst touring party ever to leave England.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
Well done Australia.
England that was absolute garbage and probably the most gutless performance by an England team for a very very long time. Every aspect of our play was sub standard. Fielding, batting bowling just simply awful. It's one thing to lose but to lose to an average Australia like that is pitiful. You have made average players look like worldbeaters.

I'm impressed that Clarke managed to complete a full sweep with an unchanged team throughout the entire series. We also took all 100 wickets, which is quite refreshing after our last effort.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
You really are a funny little man. Check out the title of the website. BRITISH EXPATS, the clue is in the name. How can you expect to come on here and not expect British expats to be a little partisan about there team or country. I could just imagine the reception I would get if I went on an Aussie site and tried to be as provocative as you. Brits in general are pretty fair in general when it comes to knocking there own country, probably more than most other nations. You only have to look on here to see many Brits stick the boot in to there own country.

Cook, he'll have scars, but yes I would keep to him.

Me too but when it comes to cricket my allegiances lie with the blue passport.
The 'Cricket Thread for those who only want to post about the England team by Englishmen' will go a bit quiet now. Mind you it's been a bit quiet for a few months with many notable posters from the English summer disappearing.
