Boris Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 needed now for England to win the second test in NZ. At last some half decent cricket from the team. Long overdue. Indeed. After the debacle of the first Test this is a wee bit more like it. As an aside, have you seen the price of the tickets for the Scotland v England ODI in August? Asking for a Bullseye is a bit cheeky imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 For some reason I quite like England doing well at the cricket. Well there is no Scotland to follow in the tests is there? I also like Freddie Flintoff as a role model, out boozing, falling out of pedalo's etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Aye, well done England on beating another 3rd rate test playing nation, Australia must be quaking in their collective boots as the ashes is only 18 months away, still another set of MBE's come the queens birthday for a bunch of talentless wasters.

JWL Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Australia... Oh, and JWL, NZ are not third rate. New Zealand are pretty poor just now, England should be ripping them apart, there are only about three decent test playing nations just now, Australia, India and Sri Lanka, South Africa will come good again but New Zealand are not what they were a few years ago, they have lost too many quality players for a nation that size. Cannot handle England winning at the cricket, they always think it is the dawn of a new golden era, the only reason they won the ashes in 2005 ffs is because the Aussies were so arrogant they only thing they tought they could do was to turn up, but England had a decent if not great bunch of players and probably the most exciting in the world at the time in KP, now look at him, 47 of 130 balls or something in the first test. Christ, that was a long rant, anyway as for the ODI 48 QUID!!! NO WAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 England have set it up nicely for the 3rd test. Top bowling fae Siders and the Burnley Express did the bizzo. Totally right to drop Hoggie and that depressing clown Harmison. Hogs will get his game again, and deserves to, Harmo can fk off back to Durham and sulk, I hate that geezer, getting paid to play cricket in perpetual summer but it's not good enough. Ungrateful get. He should never play for England again. Looking forward to more late nights for the 3rd one. And yer right, 48blabs for Scotland v England is ripping the pash. Think I'll stick to going down south to watch some proper tests and odi's instead of that. Me and the DFYL crew went to Old Trafford last summer for game v India and it was cheaper than that.

An ambition of mine is to take in a Test at Lords, but if they use Chester-le-street again this year I may try for that. Lords is a wonderful experience. My first time there was the first day of the 2005 Ashes Test. Something like 21 wickets on the day in brilliant sunshine. Great stuff. Would you believe that you can watch real tennis while you are at Lords too? Strange game, but interesting to watch for 5 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_vlad Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Can't stand england winning at anything ! Defo hate them winning in the cricket because they come out with the same **** every time they get a half decent result ! freddy, peterson, vaugan the most over rated players in world cricket FACT ! Nice to see that they are the biggest bottlers in world cricket aswell ! The only 2 teams that i hate more than hibs, are the English Cricket team and the ****ing aussies ! What a bunch of total tossers ! I hate the fact that they refuse to travel to pakistan or india on safety grounds even tho every other nations goes and there has never being a attack on a cricket ground in both of thoses countries. Then when you do go over to OZ they gp out of the way to get into your faces and their media is even worse than then english. Bunch of really bad losers as well ! Test cricket is real at a old time low the now because of countries like west indies, pakistan, sri lanka not being able to produce the goods over 5 days. I would put england into that group as well as they are no better or worst than the teams mention above, Aus, S.A and india are in a wee mini league of themselves to see who comes out on top.

Chester™ Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Was very tempted to head along to the Grange but 48 quid is ripping the proverbial. Is that a complete ****take? Tell me thats for some corporate seats? My ticket for the Headingley test versus the Saffas is less than half that FFS! Im with Andy about supporting them in Cricket. Cant stand them at anything else though. Make a yearly trip to Leeds to see them. There something about sitting in the sun there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadKiller Dog Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Cricket is the only sport that i support england in ,except when they play the windes ,i grew up in the era of Greenage,Lloyd,Richards and Marshall,the 5-0 black wash etc. County club is Surrey visit the oval a few times in summer months. Dont like the Aussies they get away with too much on the edge of cheating. Would not say that the Black Caps are third rate ,but they have concentrated on the limited over game in recent years as the sub continent sides have done also(where the money is)Which is a shame as the test match is the real test of abilities. The english side are too scitzo ,most likely there best squad since the mid 80s but just dont deliver enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what Nelly, we're going to have to whisper about our shared interest in Cricket in Section N, they'd get more mileage out of that than Larry and Pinny's beach holidays! I've made an effort to get to both the ashes series, will definitely be going down for the next one. Scotland vs England, probably give that one a miss at 50 notes unless I can blag some corporate hospitality like I did for the India game through in Glasgow last year!
