The English Cricket Team
 

Are awesomely shit.

That is all.

they won the Ashes :cool:

Re: The English Cricket Team
 

They were today, but to be fair, had pulled a couple of pretty decent results (and a couple of shockers ), so it was always going to be a bit unpredictable.

Well done Sri Lanka though, they were pretty good. Just looking forward to the Pakistan v India semi final now.

Winning the World 20:20, then The Ashes before reaching the semis of the World Cup..... I wish the England football team were that shit too! :huh:

Re: The English Cricket Team
 

Beating SA and a tie with India isn't exactly shabby either.

It's nice of the OP's parents to let them use the computer though ;)

Re: The English Cricket Team
 

The 'exhaustion' story (normally a crap excuse) may have some merit this time. Teams who have just had long tours/series have mostly looked sluggish in this WC (England, Australia, South Africa).

Poms are so funny when it comes to cricket :)

You know what?

It's not the eternal disappointment I hate - it's the occasional optimism......

from Sky footage this morning...

Strauss when arriving at the airport greeted by his wife son and had a gushingly sweet embrace and dialogue about whether there was a present for the boy in his bags.

Punter when arriving at the airport greeted by wife and daughter...'where did ya park the car, Sheila?' :thumbup:

Noted both had their golf clubs with them on the trolleys!! Punter Titleist, Strauss Taylormade!!

Re: The English Cricket Team
 

Did Punter's wife ask him again if he had brought The Ashes back?

Re: The English Cricket Team
 

Its only occasional because once the English cricket team win, the defeatist nature of their supporters worries that they have to keep winning.
