Okay, the new Australia then.

The carrot-cake and the stick.

Needs a bigger cake, he's missing out on long hops.

And now he's protested the lack of his carrot cake.

by LeFromage Tue 27 Mar 2012, 08:54

Now he's gone. Knew he couldn't last for that amount of time without a snack.

Look out, dressing room fridge. You're about to get absolutely violated.

by tricycle Tue 27 Mar 2012, 08:58

fridge, Sam has made his way to the dressing room already. A fine life lost to the power of hunger.

by LeFromage Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:01

These are the real Hunger Games.

Topical post there. No idea what I'm talking about, but I believe it's a kids' film that's doing the rounds at the minute.

Jebus, what has possessed Stuart Broad? He was one of England's best batsman in UAE too though.

He left behind a yoghurt in that fridge.

"They are quality players who have all got averages."

Logic, Vaughany style. Chris Martin has an average too.

Explains Samit's gashness with the bat, a bucket of yogurt must be his Popeye spinach.

Doesn't like red ink then? No wonder he hung around for so long and got out cheaply every time.

Don't know why they're bowling Lakmal. Get a spinner on. Any one will do. Even someone who has never bowled spin before in their life.

by LeFromage Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:13

Yessssssss!!! Go f*ck yourself, follow on. You're outta here.

by tricycle Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:14

Wonder if Randiv is the Lankan Swann.

England not following on. That can't be good, they're batting last surely now, should have been left to chance and declared before that four.

by LeFromage Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:15

Although, now I think about it, England's best chance of winning was being asked to follow on and setting a big target for SL to chase batting last.

So that's another thing they've cocked up.

by tricycle Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:19

Is Nick Knight paid in real money to talk the dross that he does? Shipping truckloads of manure should be enough.

Randiv finally bowling.

by tricycle Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:24

top shot from Broad, sweep a full ball. Intellligent.
He's gone and five for Herath.

by skully Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:26

Lordy, Herath's straight-breaks are scything through Engulund. Shocked

by LeFromage Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:27

And imagine how angry he's going to be when he gets back into the dressing room and finds out what's happened to his yoghurt.

by LeFromage Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:28

Graeme Gooch's first act as full time batting coach might be to fire himself.

by skully Tue 27 Mar 2012, 09:28

He could end up with a Michelle of lbws here.
