Sri Lanka v England, 3rd test, Galle, 18-22 Dec

Going back to England's problems, you know England need? More Kent players, specifically Robert Key.

I'd say this is proving to be a really good tour for Strauss and Flintoff.

Maybe, but you know what you can do with Geraint Jones don't you?

I want him to play for England just so he doesn't play for Kent.

Soporific, but a belter . . .

This is too inane to analyse.

Not at all, you hair-lipped munter. You like little boys. These is grown-up.

Case #58584 solved by G-Man Private Eye Agencies.

So if I can translate from Moron...

You think that I am advocating the return of Strauss and Flintoff and believe this is a departure from my policy of trying to bring on young players by playing 1 or 2 in the side.

I feel I wasting my effort but I expect that Strauss and Flintoff will be recalled once either has shown any form and they should be as they have records at TEST level to prove they are good enough. This in no way contradicts playing a youngster or two - in fairness Broad and Bopara fit this criteria - I just think that Hildreth should have had Bopara's place.

I hope this helps.

Not really at all. You're contradicting your whole rationale - your whole exsistance on this place, the basis of your whole persona.

Then you throw in some bloke who's spent one season bullying the flattest deck in the country(one that Langer said to the commitee afterwards: "Gentlemen, you'll ruin cricket in this country with tracks like that") after a few years of being a non-entity.

Poppycock of the highest order, you jelly-mouthed gunt.

Yeah

Unique, original and bloody funny!
Fink at his 'Christmas goodwill' best!

We'll see if I am right about Hildreth next season I expect.

Seems too complicated for you to grasp that there is a difference between the England team I expect to see in New Zealand and the one that I would pick myself.

It's all in the height of cuddliness and love. There's not enough hours until I break up to be scathing.



One foggy Christmas Eve.......

FFS, we don't desrve to draw this match, but it's looking likely. Should have been 3-0 really, if not for the weather and conservative tactics from Sri Lanka at Colombo.

Aus is playing?

I really feel sorry for them,

I really do.

Christ, I'm knackered. These native American rain dances are frigging hardwork.

Actually going on his recent posts trev seems to be Indian now, he was Sri Lankan a few months ago.

If India lose i have a funny feeling trev will be a Pakistani by march.

Nah, that was the Gatting tour of NZ in '87. Three bore draws, when it rained and rained and rained.

Just woken up to ... 249 - 5 ...
Why haven't we lost yet FFS?

And noted Bop's average this match was ... errr ... nought!
Poor lad ... nighmare series for him and all down to the dick-head captain,
as yet another one ofhis brainstorm gets flushed down the pan.

Wonder how many Shah might have got .... oh well, we'll never know!

The rain's off and they are batting again. How many overs left? Can't be many now.

Soz Merl, I only did the rain dance for a laugh. I left the house counting my money and now it looks like we're going to hang on. Gutted!
