I have and he doesn't answer. He changes the team he supports every week though, I don't think he's all there.
Re: ENGLISH CRICKET LOL
Probably rolls a die to decide on who is his team on any given day.

Re: ENGLISH CRICKET LOL
I asked him a number of times before this cricket series started who he would be supporting and he said nothing. Pretty obvious why not, he was always going for the side that won.
Many disagree with me on here (and I don't care) but I support my side to the bitter end. I'm English and I'm Millwall, that will NEVER change.

and that's also why the Barmy Army won't be beaten. Aussies need to win and the army are there still supporting the team.

Well I'd be getting blind drunk and singing like a bunch of mongols too if I would have paid all the money to come here and witness this brand of filth the English cricket team is producing. Cheers for helping the local economies!

Half would still mean 25,000 (approx) right?

Re: ENGLISH CRICKET LOL
Also recall Vaughan talking about why so many of Australia's list of highest run scorers average around 50, whereas england's only in the 40's. Response?
"As much as I hate to say it, throughout history whilst england have produced some good batsmen, Australia has produced many great ones".

Re: ENGLISH CRICKET LOL
Clarke only one likely from here, but premature as their cricketing stats aren't yet complete. I'll add the fact they were looking at both lists highest 10 test run scorers. I dont know england's player stats, but cant see any great ones there, especially on this tour. Trott was doing ok from memory but he's still in rehab isnt he?God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:Also recall Vaughan talking about why so many of Australia's list of highest run scorers average around 50, whereas england's only in the 40's.

To be "great" surely it's based on more than one series.
I believe Cook has scored more runs than Clarke in the same amount of tests. If Clarke's "great" then by default so is Cook.
No KP, you wouldn't describe England's 4th (??) highest runs scorer of all time a great. The guys a proven match winner and easily capable of being the biggest England run scorer of all time.

Have you looked at your rugby squad? At least half a dozen are Kiwis, Tongans or Fijians - is it alright for you then?
