Should be a cracking final weather permitting.

Indeed, I have money riding on SL who I backed at the start of the tournament, so obviously I would like to see them win, I wouldn't be too upset if India won as they are a great team to watch and have so many talented batsmen. I could lay off 50 notes on India to guarantee at least a 30€ win, or just go for the bigger pay out.....decision decisions decisions.

 

Hope our ladies can pummel the Aussie baitches. Guessing a lot will depend on our openers Taylor and Edwards although we have a good bowling unit and the girls look up for it (plus a few of them would deffo get it.)

After seeing that interview with Peter Moores yesterday, I'm convinced he'll get the job now. Primarily because he won't want Pietersen back, and Pietersen wouldn't want to come back. Giles has surely blown his chance.

There you go mate.

I'm not a Moores fan, he's done well with Lancs but he just doesn't appear to me to have the qualities we desperately need at the moment.

 

I have no problem with him wanting the players to be super fit though and it pisses me off when people try to use that as a criticism. They're professional sportsmen, of course they should be fucking fit. It would only ever be a problem if the fitness work was at the expense of technical preparation and I don't believe that was the case last time around.

He wouldn't be my choice either but I'd definitely rather he got it than Ashley Giles.

That goes without saying mate.

England women struggling to hit the ball off the square against the Aussies in this final, 58 for 3 after 11.

 

Perry looks a good bowler. In fact, she looks pretty good full stop.

 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Our women are getting bummed mate.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Looks like rain could play a part in the mens final.

[Red Banjo]

Great to see one of crickets finest ever players bow out winning a trophy and hitting the vital runs along the way.

 

Sangakkara, tek a boo son. You're a certified legend.

[Jairzinho]

Happy for Sri Lanka, and especially my local shopkeeper who always fears the worst when they meet India.

[Guest LFD]

Glad Sri Lanka won.

 

Still don't like the way Malliga bowls.  I know it is within the laws of the game, but I don't like the law.

Kev has signed up to do a life stories programme with that prick Piers Morgan.

 

The programme will air in November and apparently the gagging clause for both parties expires in October.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I dare say the money swayed his decision to do it.

Programme to air coinciding with the launch of his autobiography.

 

I was really surprised too.

Ha, that will be compulsive viewing with the two of them sucking each other's cocks. Fucking hell!

Why wasn't Jimmy Anderson in the Twenty20 World Cup team?

 

5-55 today.

A cunt off.

Giles didn't get the job

 

Moores and Fairbrace in

[sir roger]

Was Fairbrace in 'Right Said Fred' ?

[Ian Sea]

Just seen Giles linked with the Lancs job. Fuck that shit.

 

I was convinced Moores would get the top job after the mess Giles made of the T20 World Cup, given that there's not a chance he'd want Pietersen back. Decent choice in my opinion, he was my pick out of those interviewed.

[Guest LFD]

Not convinced about Moores but hope he proves me wrong.

That was the problem.
