    Should the England jokers be stripped of their OBEs after today's humiliating NINE WICKET defeat

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.
    Can't strip them of their OBEs. Shouldn't have got them in the first place, but to take them away 'cos of a handful of abject performances is petty. No-one would keep their honours if that were to be the case.

    That said, there needs to be a total overhaul of the coaching, the management and the team. We have some world class players, but not a world class side. Something's going wrong somewhere.

    did you see the score comparison after about 7 overs?

    something like
    SA- 55-0
    ENG- 7-0

    graeme smith only 9 dot balls in his 50
    michael vaughan- 20 balls to get off the mark

    We were embarassing. Sadly, it wasn't surprising. We've hardly turned up to this tournament.

    Wrong players taken. Flintoff should have been sent home after the pedalo incident. Mahmoud, Vaughan not up to one day standard. Why they didn't take players like McGrath is beyond me. I think we need two teams, one for 5 day and another for the slog it type.

    The very idea of them getting MBEs in the 1st place was a joke

    The number 2 side in the world beats the number 1 side in a two horse race for the 1st time in 18 years and they get rewarded with MBEs???

    Agreed

    should be given out in terms of long term success. Were an abysmal one day side. Id rather watch countdown than watch Vaughan getting out.

    you get what you put in. Australia's government are obsessed with sport. They give their governing bodys **** loads of money for facilities etc. They dont have to spend money on trying to get obese people healthy or bombing Iraq.

    obese people and Tony Blair are the reasons why we didnt win the world cup. Or summat.

    Yorkshire yesterday

    in a four day match managed 35 off the first ten overs, considerably more than England's total.

    Ok, so the opposition were not as good but they are of about equal quality to Yorkshire. Just saw the score on SSN yesterday and realised just how pathetic and humiliated England had been.
