Oh dear. England 86-4 against Canada.

Trott holding it together for the Poms - again.

by JGK Wed Feb 16, 2011 4:26 pm

This all reminds me of the 1992 World Cup when Aust and India played each other many times over the summer and both crashed and burned in the WC.

England 188/7 after 40 overs. Will prolly still be enough to beat Canada but....oh dear. Twisted Evil

probably explains why we beat them 6-1

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:49 pm

Canadian players of subbie heritage obviously thriving in the dust bowls. Poms 7-206.

Qunt Prior should still get 'em to 250 but.

FFS...Davison is still playing for Canada Shocked

Wow, really??!! I actually had a quick squiz at the Canadian home page before the game to check but couldn't find the likely XI. How old is Davo now?

And he got rid of Trott, something none of our spinners had much luck with all summer. Shocked

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:01 pm

To answer my own Q, Davo turns 41 in May. Shocked

FFS, Warnie would have 1000 Test wickets if he did a Davo!!!! Cool

by Big Dog Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:08 pm

Can England bat out its 50? Currently 229/9 with two to go.
The suspense is killing me. Rolling Eyes

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:10 pm

Amusing. England will probably still win by 100 but.

by Big Dog Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:15 pm

Oh dear..the answer is no. All out 243 with two balls to go.

Aye...a good effort from the Canucks though.

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:18 pm

Poms didn't make it to the end. 2 balls shy. Indeed a good effort by the Moose farkers.

by JGK Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:33 pm

And half the Canucks only got their visas to play in the tournament a week or so ago. So their preparation would have been rubbish.

by JGK Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:35 pm

Davo's career JAMODI all round figures are actually pretty bloody good. Average of 30 at better than a run a a ball and more than 1 wicket a match at less than 29 and an ER of 4.2.

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:39 pm

And who can ever forget that ton in the 03 Gilly??!! Shocked

Are you sure? They may have only just flown in from Pak, Ind, Ban and SL. They may be very well prepared. Cool

by JGK Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:44 pm

The Pak born players were only given their Indian visa recently. I wouldn't have thought the Cricket Canuck had enough money to have a camp outside India before than but who knows.

Aye. And the catch that ended his innings

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:54 pm

Good times. And to think Gilly got to 100 quicker in the 06-07 Ashes Perth Test!! Shocked

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 7:00 pm

We woofed him. Davo gawn for a duck and moose-blowers 2 for 3 after 2 overs.

Third different opening partnership in three games.

A stupid person might think England haven't got a f*cking clue what they're doing...

by Henry Wed Feb 16, 2011 7:42 pm

Luke Wright- 0 with the bat, and now 0/11 off 1 over. And all against the might of Canada. What a star.....

by skully Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:01 pm

Well, it looks like the Canucks may get within 100. This Cheema character seems like he can bat a bit. Plenty of overs left - who knows.
