How many games have you seen at Sofia Gardens to know it's normally green?

How is that doctoring?

Ask your fellow poms to explain it to you.

It's pretty basic really and the sort of thing you should know if you want to discuss cricket

Firstly the England you are referring to is the England and Wales Cricket Board. Even I know that. How many internationals has the Australian nation football team played in England against non English opposition?

Slight advantage to England at the moment but a game very much in the balance

Definite advantage to the poms. When we are relying on Watson, you know we are in trouble.

Just said the same to a mate of mine. Claims of doctored pitches and not understanding the game are just their typical mannerisms. Game still in the balance and some are panicking already.

Funny watching Taffs barracking for England all the same. :P

I think advantage England also, but only just. All depends on what we end up with I guess. Hopefully our guys can jag some cheap runs via edges through slips, mis-hits as well as the Welsh/poms did. :wink:

I can't possibly see how you could think you have the advantage here.

Wonder if Haddin will last the pace, bet he misses Harris more than most.

Missing Joe Bonk was more significant (so far)

You are always predictable :wink:

I completely agree though, definite advantage to the Poms.

That's what happens if you don't have a decent keeper.

His last series, so hopefully it wont be the norm over the coming weeks/months. Good keeping under-rated these days, they all seem to have to average 40-50 with the bat to be considered to play for the national team.
