England's plan is to play a fair game of cricket! They play with the spirit of the game, even if it means they're l0sing the match

problem with eng
by kalpesh shah on Aug 14, 2009 09:34 AM

is their player selected on the besis of county cricket which is seems to me very uncompetative, eng player normally perform good in county matches but when they selected in team they forget how to bat or bowl.

he seems to b the perfect batsman to block ausis alongwith vaughan.
let them come out of 'forceful' retirement.

It is funny how the aussies have to even try the verbal diarrhea of an oldie to try and defeat a weak english team. WOW. I guess this is how the high and mighty fall.

M.Vaughan was best choice. But England selectors sacked Piterson from captaincy when he backed M.Vaughan.

true. vaughan n trescothik r the best options who both hv been forcefully retired.
if they come out to the field, then ausis can eat the dust.

Botham at 50 is better than Flintoff who is at best an average player. He has no magic wand to even put them under pressure. English bowling doesnt have the bite to hurt australia on a pitch like oval. Aussies will take the ashes back home

Obviously Aussies look better on paper. But the results so far doesn't reflect the same. It is not about reputation, it is more about commitment and drive. There is no clear favourites going into the decider.

Thanx for the update..... BTW, did they also bribe the 3 Indian "batsmen" who managed to get out in one single over?..... ;-)

I guess it will take about 2,233 years for us Indian cricket fans to forget Sydney, right?.... ;-)
