Fifth Ashes Test, Sydney

As I said, you'd get stuffed in England. We drew out there, in your backyard. That should give a huge fecking indication, as to how poor you are. Losing in SA is a pretty poor effort as well. They're very average. But as the standings suggest, you're more nearer to the level of NZ and Sri Lanka, than the big boys of world cricket.

that's a whole lot of bullshit. how the feck can you assume that we'd get stuffed in england. i think we'd give you a good fight and maybe pull off a series victory. on the other hand, i think you'd get stuffed in SA and lose the series. everyone knows that SA are better than england. ffs all you haven't done much in the last many years besides win the ashes once.
 
that was 2 years back. i meant now. of course that's just me speculating, just like the one you made about england stuffing india.
 
3 tests and 7 ODIs when in June when India come to England. I'll make a prediction now that we'll draw the test series 1-1 and win the ODIs. after which you all will of course claim that ODIs don't mean anything.

also, the last time we played in england, in 2002, we drew out there, in your backyard.

You're honestly not judging your team from those ratings are you...your team are shit.We aren't too far ahead buit we can be assured of the fact that we are a much much better side.5-0...are you fecking kidding me?!

Unless I fell for a "Lara>Tendulkar"-esque wind-up...;)
Thats all they have to hang on to. ICC Ratings!!

And for last time Spooney, we drew in England last time we went there. So its amusing how you're going on about drawing in our backyard. Besides we've battered you in one dayers again and again.
 
one dayers are gay and aren't cricket.

You'll be below Sri Lanka in a few months.

Sri Lanka > India.
 
you simply must wake up to the fact that one dayers are like a little brother to tests but are an almost equally important form of cricket. i suspect you'll only realise this the day england have a good one day team. and that day may never come.
 
England have made the world cup final three times, I think. Or is it four? But it's not real cricket and for this matter doesn't count. What next? 20-20? I bet that takes off too. The game will soon become a kin to baseball.

Very true, I've been up every night to watch our lads during the Ashes, but no way I'm doing it for the crappy one-dayers. They'll next get my viewing for the world cup, and even then thats only because its full on competitive competition, and we probably won't last very long anyway...

I don;t mind the world cup, as you say it's a full on competition. But one day series have always been pointless. I can;t believe people even mention them.

I'll agree with that.

SL will win the World Cup.
 
Sl wont win the World Cup. And one dayers are great. Everyone likes them apart from the English who surprise surprise suck at them as well. They're not very good at anything.
