  1. The boos he receives every year at Wimbledon are deafening.
  2. Not really. The damage he has caused to morale and team cohesion is much more than he has contributed to the team in recent seasons. Other than one big innings per series and a couple of reasonable ones the contribution that KP has made to the england side over the last few years has diminished. In fact in recent seasons there have been regular calls to bin him from test and odi side due to poor runs of form. Fair enough he has great ability, however how many times does he get into position to score a huge tonne only for his massive ego to get in the way and he holes out to a left arm crap spinner - paul harris anyone. The clown thinks he is bigger than the team - nobody is. He either shapes up, begs for forgiveness and learns a bit of humility or he pisses off into the sunset and plays IPL, and never leaves the legacy in international cricket that his ability and ego wants
  3. It's just a shame it's not a five match series.
  4. Headingly is no longer a seam bowlers wet dream. The wicket has completely changed in recent years. Swann adds balance to the attack and even when not taking wickets ties up an end, plus a good fielder and decent batsman. Matt Prior should be batting six
  5. it wasn't very enjoyable - hope it wasn't a full strength side. can't see taylor lasting much longer here. eta taylor played very well.
  6. Totally agree with that. The decison to drop swann is bewildering, and as for putting them in... a decision pontinglike. Cook should be fined half his match fee just for making the worst referral ever
  7. Taylor is a real talent and I hope he does well. I want Finn in ahead of Bresnan as his height, pace and bounce should be effective at Headingly
  8. Great effort On a side note the commentator just said it was a sprint to the quarter finals - a sprint i ask u with Juston Pipe
  9. Ys it should have been a four tester. The one day series against the aussies was a complete and utter waste of everyones time. And yes it's always good to beat the aussies, but that was one thoroughly shite australian team, and i for one would rather have had another test match
  10. Terrible news for all cricket fans. One of the best wicketkeeper/batsmen of all time. I recall the first time he came over to england on a tour was the series that saw the infamous Atherton/Donald spat at trent Bridge in 98. Drs enjoy your day at cricket. Hope it is more fun than my trip to Durham last Saturday.
  11. Fair enough dropping morgan. Bringing back Bopara for me is a strange one - Has had several opportunities and other than scoring three tons against a mediocre WI side has generally flattered to deceive I would have had a look at Taylor before Bopara
  12. If england lose in sri lanka and strauss continues to not score any tons will it be time for him to move aside? morgan has to go for a little rest
  13. murder on the orient express i think it's from but i cant help with other half of the question
  14. midshipman fury by G S Beard. nautical tale set in 1790's . a bit similiar in genre to the hornblower series but a very good read. next up is our man in havana which i am looking forward too
  15. before this event he was 24k behind barney 33k newton and 35 k webster
  16. he is ninth in the order of merit
