Is this an awful side?

Far, far better than dross we've picked before. And I think KP is absolutely the last person to ever consider things 'hunky-dory'

Any side that picks Ian Bell as an opener above someone like Rob Key, and Luke Sussex, as the bus driver, in my eyes is poor!

There seem to be a lot of county matches on so it seems an awful shame some idiot has scheduled this for Wales. Hope they lose the first test against us as punishment.

I didn't say it was perfect, but it's at least 8/11ths of the way there...

Hmmmm, in fact Luke Wright isn't even qualified enough to be the bus driver. He can be the TFC or the spare pr1ck. Its like club cricket!!!

Suppose your about right to be honest.

And now the suns out...

new inspection 3.45pm (by which time it will rain again)

Hopefully.... innocent

But think of the children...

It would make me laugh to see the Welshies spend all that money on a footy stadium (thats basically what it is), to get their games rained off!!

by JKLever Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:00

4.30pm start

by holcs Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:01

It'll pee down with rain before then hopefully!

by JKLever Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:06

43 overs a side. Eng win toss and bowl...

Ontong in for SA, England unchanged.

by holcs Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:06

Makes sense to bowl really.

Aye, given it's going to rain any minute!!

If it does clear up for a spell though, they'll be batting under lights.

by holcs Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:11

Hey ho, nay bother either way for me really.

Would have preferred to have seen Sussex out and Bopara in really.

Purely because Sussex is FARKING SHOITE!

by JKLever Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:14

Well you do start to wonder what the fark he is supposed to be doing don't you?

At the minute he's batting 8 and not bowling.

Still can't get my head around a Welshman turning up to support England...

I know they are representing both countries but still...

It should really be called England and Wales. Or Britain - NI&Scotland.

But you know the English.....so far up their own.....

by holcs Wed 03 Sep 2008, 16:42

It is called the England and Wales Cricket Board, which I believe is rightly abbreviated to the ECB!! Very Happy
