We have 1 world class batsman in Tresscothick and 3 half decent ones in Vaughan, Pieterson and Flinthoff. The rest are either unproved or just plain shit. How come?
Why can't the English bat?

Thats a good question.

can't see anyone justifying that with an answer to be honest.
I think one world class batsman like a Dravid or Tendulkar and England would have an awesome batting line up. Some one who is technically that good. The problem with the England batting is that fine if you're on top, people like Flintoff and Peterson can thrash the ball around and give you the advantage. But when they come up in conditions like these.. playing Kumble in conditions that even help the spinners a little, or other situations when the ball is moving around everywhere with wickets down, you cant depend on these people as the backbone of your batting line up.
Yes... England are just one quality batter away from a strong batting line up.

We beat South Africa in South Africa.
South Africa = Rubbish.
And you'll never meet a decent South African. Why? Because they're all cnuts.

I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner but I've never met a nice South African.
Even their nicest man, Nelson Mandela, is a convicted murderer.

Yeah. The terrorist.
But it's ironic that the nicest South African is actually. . .Black.
I would start a 'Free the Blacks' campaign. But I think they've already done that one.

You don't read this forum much anymore do you mate?
Interesting. Slabber and Spoony turning a perfectly normal thread into something racist and pathetic. Nothing new here.

Bollocks.
But anyway. A good South African is a dead South African.

Were you born without a sense of humour or did you have to work at it?

Which makes you a South African.
feck.
I wonder what Slabbs thinks about this.

I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig but I've never met a nice South African

Are we disliking GG now?
Maybe an anti-GG campaign is in order?
She must smell like a baboon.
I bet she's arrogant in real life.

That is some insult coming from a South african.
You've gone some way towards deserving it.Slabber said:
