You forgot Brian

& it is cover.

Jesus is alive.

Joyzus H Crikey. Poms 6-61. Fark me, how carp have they become?????

You're a bit late with that comment, meaty.......

That specialist batsman Ravi Bopara now averages 14...

WHAT A FARKIN BARREL OF STEAMING SH1TE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am not a Bell basher, BUT HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE RUN HIMSELF OUT!!!!!!!

FARKIN BELLEND!!!!!!!!!!

Have to say, the Vorn and KPratt dismissals were very good deliveries.

Words are no longer adequate to describe the absolute shambles in Galle.
It's gone beyond anger ... beyond embarrassment ... beyond frustration.
It's a f***ing disgrace.

As in any industry when things go badly wrong, and then continue to go wrong with no possible signs of recovery ... it's time for a clear out.

How that takes place Gawd knows - what with control-freak Vawn's unrelenting vice-like grip on the selectors ... and with an impending vacancy for Graveney's job in the offing.
The fave to replace Orangina is Geoff Miller ... but is he going to be any different - or just another Vawn clone?

England is reverting back to type ... ie., picking teams with personal favourites in the side, sticking to age-old script, lack of invention to create something different and the enthusiasm to carry it out, and when all that's done, losing the plot so hopelessly it becomes a disgrace.

The present team don't look like they're hungry for success anymore ... so if that's the case - rip up their central contracts and start again on a fresh page.
Orangina keeps telling us that no one has a god given right to pull on an England shirt ... it's time he pulled his finger out of his arse and made bloody certain that is the case.

Was it Michael Henderson of the DT that said ... Can't bowl, can't bat, can't field. Time to pack the game in.
There's no time like the present.

Jeez, Widebottom is getting a right working over by Slinger

Just seen KPs dismissal...what a farking ripper.

And Vaas's send off of Prior was all class...

Yeh, the send off was good wasn't it. Seems that The Priory is not flavour of the month in SL.

The kp, Vorn and Prior dismissals were great deliveries.

KPs was a classic...class batsman being undone by a snorting short ball...

I've got a hard on, just thinking about it.

Quite simply, Vaas is Sri Lanka's best bowler ever.

Hmmmm, a bit to much information there.

Cor, what a bunch of weak little qunts they are. Didn't think we had the necessary lack of spinage for this display. Was I wrong or what. Well, at least the rain saved us for once. We can 'regroup', 'take some positives' and go out tomorrow and play Murali as badly as we did in the 1st innings of the 1st Test. Disgrace is a word that can be bandied around liberally, but this lot stop nothing short of a disgrace. They aren't a team. They are nothing. As Mudge said, we'll probably pump NZ as they are ignominiously bad but that won't mean f'all. Not saying Shah would've been a miracle-maker on this tour but it sure highlights how Vaughan really doesn't like him, that we're incredibly rigid in our selection because 'continuity' is dead great apparently. Bunch of weak pussies. The way we have been of recent times embarrasses me more than our 'lowest ebb' in 1999.

Maybe a little early but looks like Strauss will kick Bopara out of the side for the New Zealand tests. Priors position is in peril once again after two good games and one bad one. Mustard and Ambrose being the main threats to him. The seamers have been fine and will welcome the Kiwi conditions. Monty needs a kick up the arse but there is no threat from Swann or elsewhere and we shouldn't forget how good the Lankans are at playing spin.

I don't suppose Flintoff would happen to be fit would he?

The little cheating runt gets Front Bum.

WiBo GAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! to a Murali doosra

And now Woody is gone too...

72-8 Collywobbles clean bowled to give Wudiwhatsit his first test wicket.

And it just gets better . . . . 8/72.

72-9...Hoggy GAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Yep it's all falling apart. Bet Duncan Fletcher has a grin on his face now.
