Well no Liz - re one day cricket "which we know they can do".

Their record in one-dayers is worse than in Tests - so there goes your credibility.

Can anyone else here spot a part time cricket fan a mile off?

"Can anyone else here spot a part time cricket fan a mile off?"

Here he goes again!
Hi fuzhead.

Please show me a full time cricket fan fuzhead.

If you consider yourself to be 'full timer' which I suspect is the reason for your patronising comment, That must mean that you watch cricket all year round instead of the usual 5 months a year if we are lucky here in UK.
It must also mean that you play too.

Please explain why you think others must be part time and you full time.
I am looking forward to your explanation.

For the record, I think England will do pretty well in the ODI triangular series.
I also think they will win the 20/20 game by 14 runs..lol

Fuzhead please give me your prediction.

Muck

Perhaps Neil can help me out here - when a person is as their name suggests Neil, what is the name for that as I have unfortunately forgotten? However this applies to Fuzzylogic who appears to have as his name applies........fuzzy logic.
I suggested that the English side would play better in one day games, not because I actually believe that but I thought that letting you down gently using discretion as the better form of valour - if you like.
I am a cricket fan and proud of it - whether I am a part time cricket fan ( I actually do other things in life you know) or a full time cricket fan is really not a situation I care two hoots about and for that matter I couldn't care two hoots about whether you are a fan or not either. My comments are not directed at you solely you see and when I write something you do not come into my mind for an instant. Therefore your stupid comments are like water off a duck's back and a waste of time and do nothing at all to suggest that you are anything other than your name implies - either that or you are constantly dead drunk.

Well done on your 5-0 prediction.
I heard recently that litle Billy was at school and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came out - firemen, policeman,salesman, chippy, captain of industry, doctor, etc but Billy was being uncharacteristically quite and so the teacher asked him about his father.
My father is a exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Soemtimes if the offer is really good he'll go out with a man , rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him.
The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to asked him if that was really true.
"No" replied Billy - "He plays cricket for England, but I was just too embarrassed to say".
This has nothing whatsoever to do with travel, but I thought you might like a chuckle.

Ok so England finally won a game.

I can see the English newspapers now.

"England turn the corner"

"England smash Australia"

"Australia Battered into submission"

Now England are 'fantastic' again, can anyone think of a suitable Headline?

G'day Muck

The Sydney Morning Herald yesterday had the headline - after the Friday night loss: WORLD WAKES TO CALAMITY - big letters, across the top half of the front page.

Although a cricket tragic, even I thought that was a bit much....We'd only lost a single match to the Poms; points were still Australia = 27; NZ and England both = 9....but - it turns out to be about some other unimportant issue - like global warming.

The cricket result was in the bottom corner of the front page, a single line and referred to the sports section. Ho hum!

Hi Margo, I'm as pi@@ed off hearing about global warming as I am about hearing England lose. But there's another thread knocking about here on Global Warming.
Anyway ..They won....
Best thing here is that they think they can beat NZ and then go on to beat you guys again in the final..lol

I knew it was just a matter of time, looks like England have recovered and are once again the greatest touring side in the world !!! lol.

I am looking forward to tomorrows headlines.

I bet they will have forgotten all about the ashes debacle.

I wonder if the open top bus is booked yet.
Wait and see. lol

Nursing their wounds, no doubt.
