Breaker 980 Report post Posted March 1, 2015 Least they got over 150 this time, still 3 losses ....... Think of it as a bad dream, eventually you'll forget it all, eventually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tintop 10 Report post Posted March 1, 2015 Sri Lanka played like we should have played against Australia. Steady as she goes, a couple of runs an over, boundary when you get a duff delivery. I feel the rest of the batsmen, with the exclusion of Williamson, feel they need to replicate McCullum, but don't have the eye or the skill set. Vettori and Taylor used to be class acts, I remember Vettori rescuing NZ from a one day defeat with some very clever batting some years ago, what has happened?

Driftit 1945 Report post Posted March 1, 2015 Tuned into these guys on the weekend. Had a good laugh. Something that I have never done before whilst watching cricket. Ever. http://www.iheart.com/live/alternative-comntry-collective-6693/ Be warned. It is pretty rough. Leigh Heart was hammered drunk and hungover. There was lots of great nick names given to players. Talks about how the Aussie uniforms look like glow in the dark condoms. Breastfeeding talks. Every poor ginger kid in the crowd was found and hassled. A few nicknames I remember.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2914 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 I am just going outside and may be some time!!! Is that because you're going to try and teach the English players how to bowl?? I think my medium paced dibbly-dobblers would have posed more of a threat to the Sri Lankan batsmen than most of that tripe dished up during the run chase, FFS. Either there is no plan, or they are not accurate to execute it properly, whichever it is, simply not good enough. Thanks for the Alternative commentary link Dan, I have been trying to find it on the radio for ages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 705 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 Edit: If NZ make the final I don't think we want to be playing Aus in Aus. Totes - how is that avoided? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dwarf 136 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 1. England wouldn't (read: couldn't shouldn't) make the quarters Fixed that for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard 384 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 ^ if somebody beats Aus (or us) beforehand is the only way!That'd be match fixing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tintop 10 Report post Posted March 4, 2015 lol - even Australia haven't scored 400 in Australia and now South Africa have done it twice in a week... wow. They have now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis91 114 Report post Posted March 4, 2015 Warner could have had a few more there too! I'm beginning to worry about South Africa too, they seem to be clicking and De Villiers missed out last time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Dwarf 136 Report post Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Piers Morgan , quote of the year.... "I wouldn't trust Downton & Moores to run a bath"... Brilliant The only silver lining I can see is that England can't possibly get any worse! That said... Well done Bangladesh, you out played, out thought and out hustled England... Right...

E30 325i Rag-Top 2914 Report post Posted March 10, 2015 Too true, when you think England can't get any worse, they have a habit of proving you wrong.... Absolute shambles, too many players picked for their reputations rather than form or performances. Time for a total shake-up of the team and the back-room staff. The most noticeable difference with the Black Caps (from watching them live on Sunday) is the 'energy' and 'zip' in the field, constantly high levels from NZ, nothing from England..

To badly misquote Monty Python "Look matey, this parrot cricket team wouldn't go voom if I put four thousand volts through it. It's bleeding demised" I've followed them all over the world and I will always support them but it's hard not to feel let down sometimes.... As I said in my first post...

E30 325i Rag-Top 2914 Report post Posted March 10, 2015 Some of us (me & Dwarf for a start) are old school cricket fans that were brought up on the dulcet tones of Henry Blofeld and Brian Johnston talking about cakes and pigeons during the innings. We don't all find the same things funny... Although getting banned by the ICC is pretty hilarious, fun police much?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
