“How rude.”

Civility here on the balls… smirk, giggle, guffaw.

PS – Love your pics.

Deluded, am I? How rude. Can’t be bothered arguing with you. And that isn’t because I couldn’t.

@Rohit
Samaraweera ain’t no dipshit. He took a bullet and still scored tons of runs in his next digs. Still I do get your point.
Trott makes an invaluable contribution in the last Ashes test and then gets shit upon by Vaughan who in my opinion was a very average batsman with a spectacular three four season right smack in between. Such a narrow mindset is never good.

This is funny! Hilarious actually! There are people here defending English cricketers…..I mean really …that’s almost as deluded as the people from my land who think there is an express pace bowler in India somewhere! Face it….you’ve pretty much been pathetic for the best part of two decades…. Reality is harsh but then again you think Michael Vaughan is a good batsman…For people as deluded as that it might take a little while! An average of 41!! a no 3 batsman! In spite of playing in an era where dipshits like samaraweera avg 50! He’s come out against trott? I would say being un- english is probably better!

I grant you that England have had a number of forgettable players but we’ve also had some bloody good ones who’ve had character in spades – Darren Gough & Beefy are two that instantly come to mind. Less enamoured with Botham as a commentator but he was an awesome player and inspired a whole generation of cricketers and cricket lovers.

Trott may have Saffer mates and get quite chummy with them, but there’s no way he’d ever go back and play for South Africa – the Saffers prefer their cricketers to be good at cricket.

Usually.

We Aussies like ours to not injure themselves all the time, but you can’t have everything can you?

Karachikhatmal – ref your comment, “the english players I have seen in my lifetime……..”, presumably you’re still in short trousers?
