Australia are not just delivering the most humiliating losses in cricket to this team they are quite literally ending careers out there

Swanny you are a joke son

MTVN
23-12-2013, 11:10 PM
I mean, fair play if he no longer feels up to it but announce it end of series, not mid series when we are 3-0 down and need our experienced players more than ever

Jumped before he was pushed I reckon, think he was gonna be dropped for next test and chose to get out now, I love the guy and he's an amazing bowler and has been amazing for us last few years, but retiring immediately now is poor

Legend killer
23-12-2013, 11:19 PM
Watson FINSHED his career you could not make this stuff up TBH

MTVN
23-12-2013, 11:23 PM
Watson is a bit of a twat as well mind, even most the Aussies dont like him

Legend killer
24-12-2013, 12:08 AM
Twatto does his part to make this Aussie team the most entertaining in history

BRB his constant sledging even when he is scoring no runs
BRB getting out to a **** dismissal every time he gets in
BRB said slumped reaction after getting out

He is right up there with Warner in the legend stakes

MTVN
24-12-2013, 12:13 AM
Best thing about him is when you always hear him go "oh no" on the stump mic as he edges one even before its caught

Legend killer
24-12-2013, 12:35 AM
He has to be the most negative bowler I have ever seen. Never seems like he wan't to bowl and when he just strolls back to his mark every ball ****ing love that guy

Root needs to be moved from 3. He is THE MAIN BATTING ISSUE he sets the negative pace thoughout the whole batting line up

Just a shame it's taken till the 4th test for them to be exposed

Legend killer
27-12-2013, 12:26 PM
England's over rate PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even when there up top there still playing negative

Fair play to the Aussie curators they could have took England's lead and just picket 5 pitches that totally suited there play (in this case 5 bouncy pace pitches) yet they have provided and even enough series in terms of pitches 2 of which including this have suited England more

Which makes the battering even more funny

Petersen for captain. Cook should of been shoving monty down australias throats. Not a bloody part-time bowler?

This is why england will never prosper in any sport:joker:

Legend killer
29-12-2013, 02:07 PM
Kevin would be a worse captain that Cook TBH purely cause no one in the dressing room likes him

Think Barbie is probs the best man for the job

MTVN
29-12-2013, 11:25 PM
No good captains in this England team, Broady is a possibility but still too young and arrogant plus he's a bowler.. Bell maybe but then not sure he really wants it or is up to it

England needs a complete overhaul, last couple of years has disguised that we're not as good as we think we are. Watch India-South Africa going on atm and you can see how strong those two sides are, we're not near that. The England team for the next series in 2015 will be a lot different to this one

MTVN
02-01-2014, 11:11 PM
Ballance deserves a go definitely, would have preferred Carberry to miss out instead of Root though, think Carbs has showed he can't cut it as a test opener and Root is the future.

Dropping Monty is risky as well, Borthwick can be a bit all over the place apparently, big ask for him to be the main spinner on his debut

Legend killer
02-01-2014, 11:14 PM
Root was YOUR MAIN BATTING PROBLEM. Him coming in and stinking the place up at 3 set the tone throughout the rest of your batting line up unacceptable his strike rate

MTVN
02-01-2014, 11:16 PM
Root has at least had one good innings and has shown how much ability he has in previous series, I think confidence is his main problem atm. And at his age it's obvious he's gonna be in and around the England team for the next decade, Carberry is 33, it's now or never for him and I don't think he's shown that he can cut it

Legend killer
02-01-2014, 11:26 PM
Root is a bum his one good innings you hinted at he should have been out of 3 separate occasions how can the future of your team be a player who will be utterly useless on half the world map cause he can't play the bounce. Carbberry is another bum BUT has earned his right to stay ahead of EVERY OTHER batter in the team

MTVN what do you think of the continued selection of players from around the world???

MTVN
02-01-2014, 11:32 PM
He has already scored runs in India and NZ, played the bounce well in that one good innings of his, unfair to judge him too harshly on this series when none of the batsmen have performed. Plus his off spinners would be useful now that we only have Borthwick as a spinner

And I really don't care tbh lol, they've all come up through the English system and meet the criteria

Legend killer
02-01-2014, 11:37 PM
I'm judging him in England where he was also useless don't let one innings where he should have been out of 3 separate occasions fool you. If your going to be scoring at a run every 30 balls you need to be averaging at least 50 because the pressure your putting on your fellow batters batting that way is immense

I think it's disgusting tbh and a big problem how can you expect players to play for your country to the death when they are from another country silly tbh

MTVN
02-01-2014, 11:42 PM
He is capable of scoring quickly though, look at his record in ODIs and T20s. Still say it's just confidence and he can easily break out of this run of form, he'll be back in the summer I'm sure

KP is the only one who's given reason to question his motivation of our foreign born players, playing the highest level of the game in one of the biggest sporting contests in the world should be plenty of motivation regardless of where they were born. Plus they pretty much all have strong connections to England anyway

Legend killer
02-01-2014, 11:47 PM

Bookmark this now

Aussie going to hammer England in Aus

Going into this years Ashes this Aussie team was quite literally the worst in 100 years yet if we are being honest here could easily have won 3 games weather permitting should have won 2

Trott Root and Cook have already been found out and won't get it any easier on the bouncier Aus surface which will also negate Swann's spin. Would LOVE TO see Mitchell get picked was bowling 96mph in India

Will win by at least 3 games

4-0 Aus

Clarke is going to hurt this England bowling attack and Mitch is going to hurt the whole England team with 96mph beamers.

And the most humiliating series loss in history is complete

Don't ever question the Legend's killer knowledge AGAIN I told you EVERYTHING that was going to happen a month before the first ball

MTVN
05-01-2014, 11:30 AM
This Aus team aren't even that good really, an impressive bowling attack but then we've made it really easy for them, it's nothing like the side that whitewashed us back in 06, it's just that England are a disgrace

Stokes is the only positive from this series, Broad has done alright too, hard to say a good word about anyone else. Can't have a defeat like this without making major changes, heads must roll

Legend killer
23-01-2014, 10:22 PM

I'm cricket-aholic! I watch every minute of England's game and have done for years, the first session today was just simply breathtaking, Stuart Broad take a bow son, they will be talking about you for generations to come!

Well it beats the fact that Birmingham Bears lost to Northants.

I have got to say though a fantastic performance from Ben Stokes, even if we'd ended up losing the game I still think that his performance would warrant praise as he came the closest to single-handedly winning a team a match that I have ever seen and probably will ever see in a team based sport.

It was a calculated gamble apparently..

We had a choice of adding another 20 -50 runs and being all out or declare with 20 minutes of play and hope that our bowlers CBs get at least one of their main two guys out ..

Favourite moment ??


I loved the antics from Broad after that stumping nonsense of Bairstow .. when Broad went into bat and he kept asking the Aussies if he was in his area ..

So many great moments:

- Crawley hitting the first ball for four
- Root's reverse ramps
- Stokes innings at Lord's
- Broad's antics at Lord's
- Wood's bowling at Headingley
- Crawley's 189

But best of all was Broad changing the bails twice in this test match and getting a wicket the very next ball

They played earlier this summer, they drew as well but Australia retained it as holders. They have a weird system in the women's:

- one test worth 4 points
- three Twenty20s worth 2 points each
- three 50 over games worth 2 points each

Australia won the test, one T20 and one 50 over game = 8 points
We won two T20s and two 50 over games = 8 points
