Anyone interested in this.
England v Middlesex tonight. Eng won the toss and chose to bat. Currently 7/0.
 
Hopefully Flintoff will smash a few 6's

Get on England now if you're a betting man
 
I have no interest in this whatsoever, it's not what sport is about. I can't get particularly passionate about whether an already wealthy set of English cricketers win a million dollars or not in one artificial match of Twenty20

However reading about Stanford making a move on the England wives while the team was out on the pitch amused me! Apparently he's apologised, I wonder if the wives have too given how much they seem to be enjoying it!!! Wag culture reaches the cricket domain perhaps?

Been a rubbish tournament so far. Batsmen finding it extremely difficult to score runs.

Atmoshphere isn't great either. Just doesn't feel right.
 
I know the England players really want the money but I get the feelin they just want to get home.
 
:lol:

Fair play to the Superstars easiest money they'll ever earn.
 
There's something beautiful about having chased the money, but finally coming away from it with nothing more than having had your wife hit on by an ageing Texan...

The only thing more embarrasing than Englands performance is the concept of the concept itself
 
The whole thing was an almighty flop.

Immortalised by one of the worst 20/20 matches ever.

I can't help but smile.
 
Cricketers over the past couple of years, especially those in the England team, have come across as massively arrogant tossers, at least in my eyes.

The fact that they will return home with nothing pleases me.

They thought they had won it before arriving in the WIndies. I heard so many excuses yesterday, but the bottomline is England bottled it, big time. Just look at the shots that were played. Huge bottle job. As for the series, I still can;t get over the players' wife being all over the Texan. They looked like his concubines.
 
The whole thing was daft. I never even bothered to follow it - imagine my surprise as I went to see what happened and checked the final scorecard.

How embarrassing. Well done England.
 
it was on ESPN over here yesterday but I only caught the award ceremony. that's the 1st time I remember cricket ever being shown on a major US sports channel.
