The sookiest team of the decade

Entries on the back of a postage stamp

banindia has been the most consistently sooky

the pomgolians and their fans are close behind

for a period under Sniffy's leadership the saffies went for the tissues quite a lot - tho that has long since stopped

NSW are renowned sooks in Australia

Quantity or quality.

"Spirit of the game" circa Ashes 2009 would be a pretty good entry for Oz.

What have the Pommy team sooked about of late?

Was going to say that we'd be pretty low on the list, can't see many fans from other countries still stinging whilst their team are getting thrashed around the park, and I can't recall many sooky captains or players from this decade from England.

Quite, my thoughts exactly

what are you lads sooking about now?

well put tac...every player other than freddie sooked and pretty much tossed it in 06-07...the barmy army were trying at the melb test to flog their day 4 tickets even before play had commenced on Day 3.

Oh clearly: Ricky Ponting's Australia, Graeme Smith's South Africa, Chris Gayle's West Indies (in recent times).

India whenever Ganguly or Yuvraj Singh opened their mouths.


Don't hear Sri Lanka grumble about too many things. Weird that. Must be the Murali factor.

Chris Gayle baited me and I want my Mummy

Report him then!

That's not in the spirit of the game

SL is close to exemplary since the bad old days of fat arjuna...they handled getting shot up in Stanland with bravery, great reserve and dignity...

I have never heard the bangles sook either..

India prior to gavaskar were renowned good sports -

In all fairness, what are Bangladesh going to say?


"Stop being so mean and let us win one?"


Windies D team obliged.

For me, this pic perfectly sums up the decade's sooking-

Did Bowden give Ponting a big ten?

I admire their efforts after so many beatings to not sook when they must be tempted to have a whinge..

this is in contrast to the pomgolians during their 16 year horror stretch when they were regulalrly flogged and as regularly sooked

You can thank Steve Waugh for that Horrie.

hmmn...he did bat well in 89 - but the english angst certainly against Australia had as much to with other Oz players (eg TGM and tgm, gilly) and owed a lot to the defeatism of the English

Just admit he was grouse, and move on.

phurt...he had a very good team for the most part - some excellent players and a couple of champs...would have been far better had TGM been captain and Ksnr and Kjnr played fewer tests.

If Steve Waugh was given the side that Ponting has now, I personally reckon he could mould them together and he certainly wouldn't allow two Ashes tours to slip through the net. He wouldn't stand for it, as a batsman or a captain.

IMO he could probably get by without two all time greats in the side, and still produce convincing results and he wouldn't declare on 454 either.

Because that's what "I personally reckon" . . . . and I've actually seen Waugh play a few times . . .
