you want a bote dodger?????
well wd on retaining the Ashes
i did tell Fred b4 the first test started that you English wikk win
as proud as i am i am also a realist
we are crap and i said that b4 the first ball was bowled

[fred913]

That's true Bobble, I think big changes are needed, too many players coming to the end of their time all at once. The England team will be hard to beat for a decade now, we have strength in depth, batting well and a good bowling attack with the best spinner in the world now Warne has gone.

[Ausangel]

Yep congrats I guess we did not want you waiting another 24 years to retain them I just hope the last match gives us some hope for the future lol...simply out played this time around.

[symbolon]

Ouch........Aus...... you Aussies take it on the chin lol.

Always a match us Brits look forward to, win or lose the spirit in Australia is always unrivaled around the world.

So drink the spirit and Happy New Year heres to the next match!

BBC Sport - Cricket - England beaten by Australia in first women's ODI

Well at least the girls got it right

[fred913]

the Australian domestic cricket set up must be changed, more four day cricket to bring out the talent that must be there. I think they have sat back and wallowed in their success for just a little too long without bringing young players into the team. England were far too good, not Australia too bad, it would be foolish for the Aussies to completely change the team in a knee jerk move, just bring in two or three young players and stick with them. We would have binned Bell and Cook only a year ago but stuck with them and it payed off.

[lordflash1]

yeah england, get in there my boys, lol!

[nolakay]

Congrats England well done i also said we wouldnt win right from the start.Im finally glad to see there giving young unknowns the chance to show there talent. We will be back mighten before awhile but we will.
