And he's still going on about this fast young bowler they've got, that can't bowl faster than 83 mph.
Why not read the post and reply to whats said rather than rambling on about something irrelevant.

what's.

I did. And I've replied to your post in the football forum.
 
Here we go, play due to start in about 5 minutes.

England need Freddie to really step up today.
 
On a side note, the groundsman said that all 5 days of this test were sold out, but once again the groud is nearly empty.
 
Collingwood having a few problems with an injured wrist but still moving along quite well.
 
Flintoff struggling a bit at the moment, especially against Kumble.
 
England going off for bad light.

Doubt there will be a result in this one now. Stupid Indian weather.
 
Bloody India, all it has to do is be sunny and it can't even do that properly, stupid country.

It's not quite the Ashes, is it?
Noone said it was.

No one invited you to play here either.

On a side note, I may be going for the Delhi game on 28th.
 
The ICC did.

No one wanted you to come.We knew what the story would be.Your fairies would complain about the food, the water, the accomodation, the media and whine about the pitch and the ground and the spaghetti bolognese.

Atleast they put up a good fight on the pitch.

At least is two words. I believe this point has been made before.

Apparently the hotel is very nice.

The locals are very friendly.

So is your bowling attack.
 
Play abandoned at 200-5.

Forcast for tomorrow: more rain.

Looks like a decider on the dust bowl at Mumbai.

So you behave spastic only in the cricket forum. Good to hear.

You lot should be the last ones to complain about weather. Shame really, was turning out to be one of the better series' in recent times. Wouldnt have been a cracking contest had it been a 5 test series with no weather or visibility interactions. Mainly because theres little to choose between both teams.
 
You might think the delays will suit England for a draw. However....

IMO the english seemers will finish the indians off in no time with the ball swinging as it has done. Shame....

We're not even on form.
You are. We arent.
Ok let me put it this way. Our batting is far ahead of Englands. Whereas England have a better bowling attack. Especially in the pace department. We have better spinners(lets not get into this argument) and more talent coming through the ranks. All in all, we can ramble on back and forth between which team is better, but these are the two upcoming powers in cricket.(along with Pakistan maybe who are a little behind)

Bollocks. Monty's better than both yours put together.

We're not on form. With exception of Cook and Collingwood, our batsmen have all been getting themselves in and then getting out. We are disappointed with our first innings totals in both tests, especially since we were batting first.

And of the bowlers, only Hoggard and Panesar have excelled. Harmison is capable of much more, and Flintoff is not at his best. And we really miss Jones.

We were disappointing in Pakistan and we've only shown slight improvement so far. The main difference is that we are playing a poorer side. We're not at the level we have been performing at for the last two years.

Your lot are just shit.

not sure how you can say that when half our team is missing.
You have 3 players out, one has been replaced by a younster who performed quite brilliantly in the first test, so trescothics absence hasnt been felt, yet.

But even otherwise, England have been doing well in recent times. The ashes, before that, theyv developed into a good side. A loss in Pakistan but thats to be expected in the sub continent. We became a good side, went into a slump, got out of the slump and were still really finding our feet under the new Chappel-Dravid leadership. Lots of young seamers coming through, a 17 year old getting picked.. this team will take some time to gel completly.
