It was such a convincing win really I can't see a way back for the Aussies......unless they are really going to bring back Warne & co.....that would be amusing enough.

I suppose some people forget that England is part of the UK as well... SC Edit: and in a similar vein, I am sure that you are all as disappointed as I was that the Scottish gents didn;t make it to the play-offs in the European CHampionships. I watched a few of the games - its not often that Astro shows Curling... I guess its not a particularly popular sport in SE ASia...

tigerfish Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) the welsh as far as i know are the only ones who qualify automatically to play for england, without any red tape to go through. then you have players like pieterson, trott and strauss along with eoin morgan, born i think in southern ireland who choose to play for england. after going through all sorts of optional avenues like, maybe having english ancestry or connections through family, choosing to settle in england, playing in the leagues for a certain amount of years, all sorts of stuff like that. and then you have players who have been born in england, but have say indian, pakistani, west indian parents that opt to play for the country of their birth.

We'll lose this test match, probably and to be fair they have been the better side. It would be nice though if the Aussies won with more grace than they do when they lose. Typical backslapping performance from the English in this test. Thought they had it won after the first innings. Hopefully they will learn from it though.... Yes well, the Third Test.

tim armstrong Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I was waiting for the convict comment. Actually its now considered to be something of status to have a relly who was one. But now about the pitch at the MCG. Even the English players are trying to downplay this one. God forbid that both sides will stop sledging!! Does it always have to be up to the armchair commentators!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it always have to be up to the armchair commentators!? Its likely to kick off fairly quick then settle down a bit so hopefully the Aussies will be first to be tested out there. Mind you if you really can produce a fast wicket then your pace bowlers might nick it.....anyway confidence will be high from both sides and with a bit of luck it will go to the wire.

carmine Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I'll add to that, that after watching play this morning, Ponting is a whining bad loser and his behaviour is unfitting of a test team catain.

Mind that's one of the thing I love about 'em....its just never factored into their mindset.....just makes it all the funnier when the inevitable happens!
