The problem is Australia have a better cricket team.

Typically unsporting them - for hitting poor Little Joe in the spondoolies, which crippled him, and then getting him out.... He was in tears when he left the pitch, not sure of the reason though ;)
They're absolute cads and rotters. I hope Joe's Mum gives them hell.

Did England actually play cricket?


Interesting comment that issue is that we've squeezed the county matches to the start and end of season. We need to mix up the whole and multiday matches with the shorter format through the whole season. Then (for home tests) we can drop players to county if need a bit more practice and bring up others as needed and they already have some practice in longer formats.

Who is going to pay? No one wants to watch 4 day county cricket, and the ECB/County chairmen are only interested in money and 'marketing' the 100 and 20/20's. They get no money for winning the Ashes.
Nationalising cricket is the way go :)

And all the world over, each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practise beforehand, which ruins the fun!

So up with the English and down with the rest!

4 -0. Pathetic to the end. At least we're consistent.

Because we're concentrating on money making shorter versions and forgot about real cricket. Basically greed from broadcasters, advertisers, county chairmen, ECB.....

The Test we did draw was only because of rain! Well done the rain, our best player...
