February 11, 200719 yr but they are very good at walking off Just like the australian National Soccer Team losing 3..1 against an injury weakened Denmark team this morning, as soon as they have to play against a halfway decent european soccer team , they get flogged and of course when they lose the range of excuses is laughable, In the aftermatch interview 2 of the excuses were , the Aussie team had difficulties with the pitch and were not properly acclimatised, that their defence played like crap had nothing to do with it : But then thats Australian sport for you, When they win, they crucify the teams they beat, but when they lose It is everybodies fault but their own!! Nignoy Just about sums up the mentality of the 10 quid pom.

February 11, 200719 yr oh dear..............................they got Freddie miffed now. A spot of rain appeared, and the remaining Aussie batsmen made it the 100 yds to the dressing room in 8.5 secs. On the other hand the groundsmen going in the opposite direction took 20 minutes to get to the middle with the covers. We need to bowl 4 more overs to make it a match, and the Aussies are trying every trick in the book to make sure we don't. If we do bowl them, Australia still need about 10 runs an over. OK play will start in 10 minutes with the revised total Oz need 133 in 16.4 overs. That's over 8 an over. Time to start looking up excuses lads. Don't worry though, we've already used the one " We were terrible"

February 11, 200719 yr well done England, perfect warm up for the world cup, while the convicts will now have to go back to the drawing board after being soundly beaten three times on the trot by a second string England side. LMFAO
February 11, 200719 yr Congrats to the Poms. What's going on? I went to Thailand for a couple of weeks, saw no cricket, and then when I came back, the English had suddenly learned how to play! Tonight they were taking brilliant catches, performing run outs, and good intelligent batting. Worse still the Oz side are playing like poms!! My whole world has turned upside down! All of a sudden, I'm glad I didn't book that West Indies trip for the WC.

February 11, 200719 yr well done England, perfect warm up for the world cup, while the convicts will now have to go back to the drawing board after being soundly beaten three times on the trot by a second string England side.LMFAO The 'convicts' were pommy criminals
February 12, 200719 yr Bloody Poms will pinch anything..... They even came here and stole the bloody show....
February 12, 200719 yr Author well done England, perfect warm up for the world cup, while the convicts will now have to go back to the drawing board after being soundly beaten three times on the trot by a second string England side.LMFAO The 'convicts' were pommy criminals That's the only shot the soapies have got at us Doc. and thats over 200 years ago, talk about get over it, gits
February 14, 200719 yr [The 'convicts' were pommy criminals Stupid Pommy criminals please. Us clever ones never got caught.
February 14, 200719 yr well that's it we play the northern whiners, was a situation I preferred actually.bring it on soapdodgers, you aint on the next plane home now. What is it they say about pride coming before a fall? You never know what could happen with a couple of dodgy Duckworth/Lewis scenarios Well broncers - I did warn you in post #35
February 16, 200719 yr Australia 148 all out.New Zealand 149/1.Biggest NZ win over the South Pacific Yanks. Aussie lose 4 in a row..........
February 16, 200719 yr Author they need to re-group, had a bad run with injuries you must admit chucker
February 16, 200719 yr And I thought it was us whinging poms that were meant to come out with all the excuses? England had a bad run with injuries, you must admit broncs, but we still hammered you guys in the finals By the way, don't do yourself down chuchok - the Kiwis got 149/0, not 149/1
February 16, 200719 yr Author not making excuses, but the reality is, skipper, vice skipper, fast bowler and all rounder gone. we can re-group
February 16, 200719 yr Strewth, jezchesters...it must have been the tears of joy that got in the way...and the fact that the pacific yanks have not been beaten by 10 wickets or four in a row for a while. And as for injuries bloncs,we havent had our full strike team available for a long time.I thought you blokes had depth..........
February 16, 200719 yr we have depth, as I said we need to re-group. what exactly does re-group mean?
February 16, 200719 yr not making excuses, but the reality is, skipper, vice skipper, fast bowler and all rounder gone.we can re-group And England had skipper (Vaughn) best 2 ODI batsmen (Tresco and Pieterson) and best 2 ODI bowlers missing (Jones and Anderson) - and we still beat you! Sorry broncers - if you're going to dish it out, you've got to take it
February 16, 200719 yr All these arguments are fun to read, but they're a bit trite. I'm English. Born and bred and (sometimes) proud, but it's obvious to me that Australia is by far the most talented side in world cricket. Arrogant too, and single-mindedly determined to win at any cost. The English lack their spirit and I don't know why. At the moment, we got a couple of lucky breaks and suddenly the momentum swung our way again. Will it last to the World Cup? I doubt it. We just don't do well when expectations are high. I can only hope though.
