In the whole history of English cricket, you picked the worst time/team to get into it!! That sounds like something I'd do.
Sorry if that offended you but you put my name in to a thread which I didn't post in. You will know that this isn't normal for England. It's mentally harder than any other tour but he will have learn't from this and it COULD be a big thing for England. I've said it before, but the amount of young players around sport at the moment is great and cricket have there fair share. Get what ver team you want. I would stick with Barirstow and that for the summer and take on Sri lanka and India. The latter are a very good team but there beatable. SA play very similar to England and they got done in SA in that second test.
I think that people have been saying it for a while and you have been ranting at them for saying it. I think Phil it is time you accepted that you really dont know everything and sometimes what the commentators say on TV, no matter what channel, is just to stir up a bit of a debate and they do not really mean it, just like the football commentators dont really think England can win the World Cup , but they will build them up until the get to Brazil. It makes people watch their programmes. If you continue to say that this England side is fantastic and the players are the best in the World then you are just making a heavier rod for your own back !!
There have always been young players around sport Hemsie, that's how it works. Even Botham, Gower etc were young guns back in the 80s y'know - they weren't born old and ruffled a few feathers at the time some of 'em. Much better than this shower of ***** you keep sticking up for. Botham played football too for Scunny United, did you know?
Started getting interested 2003. But I bet there isn't 1/4 the posts on here in the summer thats been on this winter and most people are a sleep for 90% of these matches.
There were loads of posts about the cricket in the summer. Just because you choose to remember it differently doesn't make it so. There were many saying that we were lucky to win the series. Are you a reyt fan of cricket too because you stay up to watch on your free sky?
What about the India tour. No they didn't because the doom merchants didn't have too much to pray there doom on after test one.
Do been watching sky sports since you were 11. You are now 22. Yep sounds about right. The normal people of the world are asleep around 3am due to it being a natural requirement to ensure a good day at work or looking after family. You have so.much to learn Annakin.
