Picky picky.... :winkold:

Brave words? For stating the fact that 4 of our first 5 batsmen where given out LBW by the same umpire in the first innings? Or from saying that your top 5 batsmen for that innings suffered a different fate, including being bowled (read: stumps scattered)?
-
Mwahahahaha!! You're having a lend, aren't you Nick? In our first innings, 4 of our top 5 batsmen were given out LBW (the other one a dodgy catch, but that's by the by).... and none of them by Billy Bowden. And we have 1 in about 5 genuine, have we? No, I think you'll find your top order usually has the stumps scattered. :winkold:
-
Oh come now! You pommies will find any reason to whinge, wontcha? :winkold: Personally, I like the way the crowd cheers when an Australian batsmen gets hit with a short ball, but ohhh, ahhh and boooo when we do it. As for dubious catches - anybody for a dubious LBW? You seem to get the majority of your wickets this way - though Billy Bowden is not usually the one fooled.
-
I honestly don't think you have much to worry about. We are witnessing the end of an era in cricket.... ... and possibly the beginning of another one - yours.
-
The Forecast is GOOD Never said it wasn't...... ... though a GOOD forecast must be cause enough for celebration for you lot. It's a bit like a blue moon, innit? :winkold: I repeat, ONLY your notoriously bad weather will save Australia in this test. Shame that wont happen.
-
Dunno, ED. You've done your best to hash up the last 2 tests from easy winning positions. What makes you think 100 will be easy for you? :winkold: Seriously - only your notoriously bad weather will save Australia in this test. What I would'nt give for an Aussie batsman in form! Not one of them is any good at the mo. Hayden - who are ya? Clarke - where are you? And don't start going on about England's "world class" bowlers. Yes, they have been bowling well, but if they were world class you wouldn't struggle to get Lee, Warne and McGrath out in a test match as you have in the last 2.5 tests.
-
Eating dinner or watching the test live on free-to-air TV..... .... unless they are meant to be working on their computers :oops:
-
That I cannot argue with. There is still time for him to turn it around.... ... but that would require him to stop being a chav off the field. Can't see that happening, sadly.
-
Why is it that people are quick to point out he was playing well before he got a contract.... ... while conveniently forgetting that his form slump coincided with McCann being injured? No no. He only plays well when a contract is due. :roll:
-
Hendrie.... blah blah.... potential.... blah blah.... goes missing .... blah blah.... too old ... blah blah. Hendrie scored more than Davis last year. Hendrie created more than Davis last year. Hendrie linked better with Angel (and Vassell) better than Davis last year. Hendrie struggled without McCann in the side last year. So did Davis. So what has changed this year? Nothing - only that Davis is being given his chance. He is still not the quality we get from Hendrie. End of.
-
Heh heh.. I can see it now: Opposition Defender 1: "Mark the one with the Alice band." Opposition Defender 2: "But there's 3 of them!" :winkold: (Berger, in case you were wondering)
-
Gotta go on form. That means Angel warms the bench.... ... not that we've seen much of Milan, but Angel needs a kick in the A to get his game going again.
-
The fact that he got shitfaced, climbed on cars and vomited explosively only means there are problems with his private life that need addressing. Perhaps the FA should be offering counselling, rather than probing... ... or is that what they are doing?
-
We need Baros (or another quality striker) and 1 other - preferrably a Central defender. If so then yes - it's been a good summer. However, "I voted it could have been worse". After all, IF we sign Baros (which is the premise of this poll) then DOL would have spent more this summer than any other summer while he has been in charge.
-
White. Absolutely. If not white, then blue. I agree with eston - the claret ones look like you are wearing "ones-ies".
-
You'd think so by some of the posts. Mine's a hypothetical to prove a point. Take Milan out of the equation and it's just more compelling to NOT sell Vassell.
-
Former. I posted the following on the front page... figure it fits here too, so here goes;
-
Add Hendrie to the mix and over one quarter of the team are now headless chickens.... ... and all 3 have represented their country. Give me a full team of 'em, I say. :winkold:
-
No surprises here.... ... I side with Blandy. Davis, Berger, Meh. Hendrie is still the best creative central midfielder we have. With a fit McCann or Gem doing the dirty work for him, he'll shine - as he did when McCann was in the team last season and he was banging them in for fun. No surprise, then, that his influence waned when McCann was injured..... .....Nah. Must have been contract time. :roll:
-
I'm currently inbetween jobs... ... which means I'm contracting to 2 different companies and split the week inbetween the 2. Fun is going to start when both want me for more than 2.5 days a week..... which will be soon, methinks. But, then, that's the nature of contracting. I'm a programmer (which explains the amount of time I spend on here :wink:)

REM == Oasis. One good song (Losing my Religion/Wonderwall) and the rest range from me wanting to rip my ears off to "meh"..
-
Meh. Phillips is better value short term, Beattie (potentially) better long term..... ... but neither player "blows my skirt up", so to speak.
-
Voted Ranson. I live in hope.
