  1. I am not sure if many people saw it by Nasser really laid into Giles He also kept mentioned foreign coaches without naming names He and nick knight also laid into bumble and the cricket fraternity - bumble was grumbling about SL bent arm spinners - he has to accept cricket has moved on and to be number one England must move with the times eg develop unorthodox cricketers
  2. Delighted by the win against NZ - they completely bottled it England could do worse than either SL old coach - Ford or our current coach Farbrace NZ look a good team though
  3. If Giles gets the job, the ECB should go into liquidation What are peoples views on Peter Moores? Giles has loads of mates in the media (Newman at the Mail , Agnew) so he doesnt get slated England need to look at Moody at least
  4. Were you at didcot as well? I didnt think he was great - I sat next to a couple who didnt laugh through the whole thing (apologies if that was you!)
  5. I literally have thrown in behind last installment. Fingers crossed
  6. Just got back from the races If only I has read the thread before today.... Lost heavily but good day After Valtour won with RW I think the crowd and me lost our nerve and piled into Hurracaine Flyer and the collective groan over the last when it came in 4th Great day, good fun. Would recommend to anyone (I don't bet or understand racing) Would appreciate any decent tips to get some of the money back! Irish lads all good fun
  7. I am happy to put my hands up and say - got it wrong - Aussies dominated and deserved that Test cricket still lives
  8. Been distracted by the Asia Cup - just looked at the Aussies vs SA score - wow that is going to be a crushing defeat for SA Where is Siddle - injured? Didn't realise MJ is 32 - probably only got 1 - 2 years at this level before he deteriorates. I reckon he will get to 400 wickets if he gets the chance though - needs to play a few of the Asian teams in Australia to do that Just to say - Afghanistan are actually a decent team, and certainly bowl better than Ireland and Bangladesh. I would laugh if England came up against them in the Sub-continent Never rated Smith - completely overshadowed by Kallis and now AB/Amla - Good player but not a great
  9. Good Australia lost Enough of this garbage that this is a good Aussie team (and Lehman is good) Steyn also put Johnson in his fucking box with that spell Steyn average of 22 takes some beating Note to A Cook - watch AB first innings on how to grow some balls and face upto Australia. Wish Australia bought Patrick Cummins on this series as he is ace. This Cape Town will be a seaming wicket so think SA (minus Parnell) are favourites Special mention to the SL legend umpire who seemed to extend play for no apparent reason
  10. I agree with this I am really struggling to watch this and I really don't see the hype It is very turgid and in many ways incredibly unfeasible
  11. Froch just on talksport talking about potential venues of Upton park or the emirates Also talking about an Andre award fight down the road.Brave
  12. Wow Maybe England werent that bad Amla just took a bounced flush on the body. He looks unruffled They are missing Kallis
  13. http://www1.skysports.com/cricket/news/12173/9159055/lack-of-trust-behind-ecb-decision-to-axe-kevin-pietersen Somehow Cook is coming out worse...
  14. Gatland has to do the right thing and pick Hook There are a few good 9's are at the Blues I think Warburton needs bench time - Tipuric and a faster number nine would transform our team I think for the first time Ireland have tactics - I reckon they'll have a different set for England and France as I don't think they'll win an arm wrestle Didn't watch England vs Scotland second half - Lawes and Billy looking awesome If England dropped Robshaw and picked the Toulan number seven Armitage they would cake walk the 6 nations IMO
  15. I called that correctly, sadly That Irish man of the match - fantastic player - where has he been hiding? Much deserved (off to get stick of Irish mates) Garland needs to pick Hook Agree about halfpenny - folau is no 1 I think if England get sam burgess they'll have one hell of a player
  16. Dan Lydiate isn't playing at the top level pre injury which is a worry but Jamie Roberts actually looks fit so that is good Ian Evans is severely underrated player and is being missed by us I really don't get Scotland's poor performance Good on paper poor in practice
  17. Always back Wales - but this new Irish side look impressive Actually think Ireland will win comfortably Disagree that England were poor but missing Tuligau and Croft Standard overall is poor and I think NZ, SA and Australia would be looking on happily
  18. I said earlier on this thread - he went to school with mate Says he is a toff and very dim Gary Kirsten signed for Delhi Daredevils so will coach abroad if you pay enough
