Heavens to ... ?

The Dutch coach looks like an aging porn star....

I'm just wondering whether Gilesy isn't the guest commentator.

Specialist in changing his tune through 180 degrees within two minutes.

Bops perishes to the medium-pace might of Bogan fun Leak.

76/8. Oh boy.

Always some good late night entertainment when the poms are up against a minnow. Smile

by PeterCS Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:24

What's the next step down from "a minnow"? "A Giles team"?

by PeterCS Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:27

The good news is that England are one big happy family.

Clapping and cheering each dismissal that brings yet another of their beloved brethren back to the hutch that Giles bulit.

I can think of one or two things that might fit the category . . . . but . . . we won't go there.

Hold your nerve, Dutchies. Don't panic. Leave that to the amateurs.

hurr hurr

No Sammy to bail them out it seems.

by Red Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:36

So a win to the Netherlands here could be mutually beneficial - a Giles axing and a David Boon for Dutch cricket?

Good to see the Poms copying the Ozzies and getting rolled for 80 odd by a minnow

Stick that one up your shitbox Giles Clarke, then suck on my fatty. You absolute cock.

If anyone who cares would like to know Ashley Giles' record as full-time coach it goes a little something like this:

ODIs: 30. Wins: 13.

T20Is: 19. Wins: 6.

Credentials.....

Still, I heard he's got two good drinking games and three good card games up his sleeve to keep the little guys happy.

The Clogs did it with a leg in the air!

by LeFromage Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:38

Bowled them the f*ck out! You ripper! Thrashed by 45 runs in a low scoring game!

Well played, Holland. Spliffs and prostitutes all round.

by PeterCS Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:39

The Giles Era rolls triumphantly on.

Only a few thousand mashed under the wheels of the great juggernaut that is the "Giles & Giles" Ego Trip on its way to hell. That must count as a victory.

by Neil D Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:40

I forgot this game was on, then actually laughed out loud when I tuned in to see we've lost to the Dutch.

Oh, the hilarity. Oh Giles, you'll still get the job because literally no-one else wants it. Who can blame them?

by Red Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:41

Save for the Lanka match the Dutch as the putative bunny team had a pretty good tournament.

by PeterCS Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:43

As did Ashley Giles.

by buckSH Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:45

you sure this wasn't fixed ?

by PeterCS Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:46

What, Giles' appointment?

Defo.

by LeFromage Mon 31 Mar 2014, 13:51

MP Vaughan not backtracking on his insistence that best mate Ashley Giles should get the top job:

Michael Vaughan ‏@MichaelVaughan 40s
Collective shambles from English cricket for the last few months... But it's the players who have to hold their hands up..

Michael Vaughan ‏@MichaelVaughan 8m
And don't give the players any excuse ... It's down to them.. Not the coach...

Michael Vaughan ‏@MichaelVaughan 10m
Btw... It's the players that lost that game not the Coach... Don't point the finger anyone else but the players....

----

Yeah, we get it - lovely Ashley bears no responsibility for anything. He might as well not be there. No coach in the history of the world could've done any better.
