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.

[buriramboy]

england 246 from there 50 overs and apparantly the highest chase under the lights is 260 on this ground, so England still in with a good shout.

COME ON ENGLAND

[buriramboy]

convicts 33-2, i can sense a white-wash for England.

[buriramboy]

still not a murmur from the convicts as they slump to an embarassing 63-5.

[Old Croc]

murmer, mumble...

[lampard10]

murmer, mumble...

Glad to see someones still got a sense of humour :D

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"

No excuses Lamps, If the limeys win its because they were the best team on the day .

[buriramboy]

20 overs now bowled, the white-wash is as good as complete,

[lampard10]

England completed the whitewash by 34 runs

well, we were forced to eat it

[buriramboy]

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

[Grover]

what a disaster

[Old Croc]

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.

And that statement nicely sums up your sporting mentality, a bad loser and a worse winner

LMFAO

The 'convicts' were pommy criminals

[gburns57au]

Bloody Poms will pinch anything.....

They even came here and stole the bloody show....

That's the only shot the soapies have got at us Doc.

and thats over 200 years ago, talk about get over it, gits

Stupid Pommy criminals please. Us clever ones never got caught.

[jezchesters]

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

[chuchok]

Australia 148 all out.New Zealand 149/1.Biggest NZ win over the South Pacific Yanks.

Aussie lose 4 in a row..........

[Pink Mist]

they need to re-group, had a bad run with injuries you must admit chucker

[jezchesters]

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

[Pink Mist]

not making excuses, but the reality is, skipper, vice skipper, fast bowler and all rounder gone.

we can re-group

[chuchok]

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..........

[Pink Mist]

we have depth, as I said we need to re-group.

[chuchok]

we have depth, as I said we need to re-group.

what exactly does re-group mean?

[jezchesters]

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

[bendix]

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.
