purpleronnie Posted 9 March 2008 Posted 9 March 2008 I can't believe I went against my theory about betting against england and actually thought we would get a draw...I'll stick to betting against them from now on. p.s. Didnt actually bet the draw the odds weren't worth it...but I did think we'd get a draw.
David O'Leary Posted 9 March 2008 Posted 9 March 2008 New Zealand without Shane Bond= crap. Where's that humble pie?
SamL Posted 12 March 2008 Author Posted 12 March 2008 It's the first day of the Second Test and we've started brightly, 35-0 off 12 overs. Could be worse.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 There were a few changes but cant find the team sheet yet.
purpleronnie Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 Anyone think we can bat well then wait for it.... bowl well too?
placidcasual Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 There were a few changes but cant find the team sheet yet. IIRC they dropped Harmison and Hoggard. Broad and Anderson playing instead. England: Cook, Vaughan ©, Strauss, Pietersen, Bell, Collingwood, Ambrose (wkt), Broad, Sidebottom, Panesar, Anderson
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 With Ryan Sidebottom Sorry but his a grade cricketer playing International cricket it makes me laugh everytime his mentioned. With Sidebottom leading your attack your always going to struggle bowling sides out.

Webbo Posted 16 March 2008 Posted 16 March 2008 5 dropped catches and a missed stumping. Why do some people take such pleasure in the failure of our teams?
placidcasual Posted 16 March 2008 Posted 16 March 2008 Why do some people take such pleasure in the failure of our teams? Because they hate their country and wish they were born somewhere else. Traitorous bastards.
Fox You Forest Posted 16 March 2008 Posted 16 March 2008 Did anyone see the city flag last night? hanging off the wall with vines on.
SamL Posted 17 March 2008 Author Posted 17 March 2008 Just won by 126 runs Great result. Two down, one to go. If we win the next Test it would be a great result. Top performance by Sidebottom again.

David O'Leary Posted 19 March 2008 Posted 19 March 2008 Jason Gillespie- 2005 Ashes 3-300 in 5 tests Sorry it might be the only Ashes win for a while
SamL Posted 21 March 2008 Author Posted 21 March 2008 Third Test, first day and we are 4-3. Cook, Vaughan and Strauss all gone. This is diabolical.
Fox You Forest Posted 21 March 2008 Posted 21 March 2008 Excellent start to the 3rd test for us. Strauss =
Uncle Albert Posted 21 March 2008 Posted 21 March 2008 Pietersen will hopefull do something with the bat, needs a bog score i feel. Saying that most of the English batters need a score.
Fox You Forest Posted 21 March 2008 Posted 21 March 2008 Pietersen will hopefull do something with the bat, needs a bog score i feel.Saying that most of the English batters need a score. True but its not only the batsman that need a score im going out all day sunday and im hoping for a to score.
