Predictably shite. 

 

It's a one day team. 

 

Probably blame the Big Bash/IPL where many of the batsmen go to play, they then find it hard to adapt back to the longer game.

He’s a cunt. 

I bet he loves it when England lose so he can spout his stuff. Vaughan is another one. 

[lifetime fan]

Always used to like Vaughan, he’s turned into a right bitter rent a quote cunt lately though.

Dale Steyn retires from Test cricket. Great shame, the best of his generation for me, wonderful quick bowler.

[lifetime fan]

Steyn was quality.

There are two people in this series, who are Big Bash standouts and worthy of a chance at Test cricket.

One is Wade, who duly made a century.

The other is his Hurricanes team-mate, Archer.

Over to you, England panel.

Having someone on the first day 122-8 and losing by a mile. Shameful.

Even worse is having them effectively minus 15 for 3 in the 3rd innings of the match and losing by a mile.

No but it's annoying. I usually just go out of the thread and come back in and then it gives you the option to clear anything you've previously typed.

I really can't stand him. 

 

As for Pietersen. An absolute genius of a Batsman but them texts killed his legacy. You can take the South African out of South Africa.....

Click above the left hand corner of your original post, a cross in a box appears, click it twice and press return. Works for me.

Yep, and if you come back and the text is still there, you'll get a clear editor button as below.

Cheers chaps , was enjoying getting to do a bit of moaning though.

Imagine getting a shout to play for Gloucestershire 2nds , turning up with your bat and pads & finding Jofra Archer is in the opposition. No wonder he got a 6-for.

You see the last two overs from Glos against Glamorgan in the T20 the other night?  

[Mudface]

Imagine your own cricket board arranging things so that there are no county matches for over a month around the start of an Ashes series so it's impossible to gauge players' fitness or form in a longer format.

No one could ever question his talent and ability, if they did they’d almost be as big a cunt as him. 

 

But his england career should have been over for good once he started texting the opposition telling them how to get out his own Captain.

A mate recommended a podcast called ‘Grade Cricketers’ today.  Not listened myself but he said it’s great especially if you’ve played or play at amateur level.

It's really good. It's Australian but relatively balanced. I've been listening to it for a few weeks. 

 

Also, if you're searching for it it's 'The Grade Cricketer'

Yes it was very entertaining stuff from your boys , was hoping they would get the win at the end.

 

A boon for headline-writers with Tye causing a tie.
