I knew we'd lose, i just knew it. I said at pub to my mate last night that we would.

If we win the series now i will chop my nob off.

MONTY! :cool:

Thing is, if they play him now which they should - he will be under immense pressure to perform and I can see him having an average game and then getting dropped for the 4th test.

I think Englands selection policy in general has been poor.

This is exactly what WILL happen if selected.

fooking awful. tbh the only players undeserving of a loss in that test were Collingwood, KP and Hoggard. The rest of the players were embarrassing, and it wouldn't suprise me now if we went on to lose 4 or 5 zip.

What a bunch of losers! All out for 129 is terrible. Cannot believe we lost that, could have definitely won it.

Wait a minute, I can believe it, it's England. :banghead:

Ashes to ashes, hopes to dust....

I cannot bring myself to watch the highlights again - it is too painful. I feel dirty, used and cheated.

As a team, we batted like feckless idiots today, although I have a certain amount of sympathy for Collingwood, Pietersen and Flintoff (although his tactics today demand some scrutiny). Hoggy bowled really well too.

The real villain is Duncan Fletcher. Let's just examine the series stats to date:

AF Giles 3-262 @ 87.33

JM Anderson 2-303 @ 151.50

SJ Harmison 1-288 @ 288.00

GO Jones 4 inns 63 runs @ 15.75

Dunc - we need to take 20 wickets, and preferably not let Australia have 500+ in every first innings. I beg you to pick the following team for Perth in order to save further humiliation.

Strauss, Joyce, Cook, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Flintoff©, Broad, Read(+), Hoggard, Panesar.

Of course, if Freddie's not fit, then that line-up, and England in general, are screwed.

Well it's time again ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sure we'll managed to kop another hammerin.

If 'nationwider' desired team play I WILL eat my own head!!! :w00t:

Your head is safe Marko! My team was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. But England have done the right thing by getting rid of Giles and Anderson.

Tea Day 1 - Australia 184-6, M.Panesar 16-2-69-3 :)

why why why didn't monty play the first two tests!! he's now got 5 wickets for 90 runs on his ashes debut. shane warne's best ever at the waca is 4 for 83.

absolutely colossal performance

lol

A good start but after we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (well a certain draw at least) in the last test I'm not getting too excited.

I'm not either. Also remember the 1st day of the 1st test in the last series?

Can we re-do Sports Personality of the YEar...and give it to a real sportsman with personality?

Is it just me who thinks elvis is reading the www.sporting-heroes.net writeing above him? Spooky.

The pressure on Monty's shoulders must have been fairly huge aswell, given the situation this shower now finds themselves in. Yet, he goes out and destroys the best spin bowlers figures at the Waca in his first ever day there! Sublime.

Well done Fletcher you absolute cretin, high five Giles all the way back to the hotel. You've done well, have a tea and a scone to celebrate you fat ****.
