I suppose you could use it for South Africa and Australia too.


New Zealand and Sri Lanka also....

Oh and West Indies.

I think Gus put it most aptly - simply the English batsmen are a bunch of twats. Crammed full of hubris and a sense of having a right to be there. All well and good, but it seems to make their shot selection the biggest bag of shit this side of Pakistan.

As a microcosm - when your top player, a bloke you rely on heavily, wildly slashes at a wide one very early on in the 2nd innings after the opposition just romped to a massive lead then you're basically f*cked. Combine it with a pants, timid fend off to a ball high and wide of off and your dick of a keeper thinking he'll just get runs however the f*ck he wants then the situation becomes all the more clear.

You might have thought that Prior's narrow escape off the first ball might have caused his shot-making to be a tad more judicious! He might have more ability with the bat than Boucher but the latter at least bats according to the occasion.

Exactly what I thought. I just couldn't believe my eyes. Sums him up to a tee though, thinks he's the daddy.
