But I specifically mentioned him, apparently that's enough to suggest that I like something. I have also mentioned Ebola and the Islamic state as well.

Shame that Trott has given it away for good. Couldn't he have waited till the end of the year? He was going to be a handy part of our tour there in a couple months I would have thought. :|

You'd probably lose to them too if they did.

I wanted Gillespie bit as I also said before - I don't really want anyone who would take the job.

No middle order, no spinner - aside from that we're great.

If that had been Australia all out for 77 , B Toomer would have posted within about one minute of the last wicket falling.

I only knew about it via FB (Carl Maynard post 8) ) and when I just checked the Oz cricket score on domain app (even though that's been down a while :roll: )

Series loss to England in the WI. Going to be a great ashes series. First team to 100.

Where's Bum Toomer?

He usually pops up like a fart when the need to defend queen and country is required

Terrible series. England paying the consequences for not playing any long form warm up games. Need more patient batting, it's not 20/20 - bat time as well as for runs.

He's probably too busy enjoying his life in the Country he is always bagging.
Only sings when England's winning or Australia is losing (which has been quite often lately).

I think its good for cricket to see Windies look dangerous again. Well, sort of. 8)

England doing what Australia had done of late - forgot how to play test cricket.

Playing Sri Lanka at home has possibly made us look a bit better then we are, BUT you can only beat who is in front of you.

Should be interesting to see the first eleven for each team come first ashes test.

Completely agree. This W Indies side has a pmayed decent cricket. Proper Windies fast bowling, patient batting.. Meanwhile England didn't even have a warm up game, they expected 3-0 to come easily.

Australia will have three players back in contention and I can see all 3 playing. England recently beat Sri Lanka away 3-0 whixh is never easy and beat India at home.

Is this just another case that away series wins are becoming rarer and rarer.
