Should at least have a thread with a more accurate name..
lets be realistic... it's not really a "test" for both sides?

Don't worry, you get used to HSV prefering to gloat over the failure of others rather than celebrate Aussie successes - you'll note he hasn't mentioned the Aus series win over NZ. Some sort of insecurity going on there.

Every team has their good and bad days, was it only a couple of years ago you convicts got skittled for 90 odd in India.

It was quite comical though, the 'test' is now to bat out the last 2 days and salvage some pride. Just off outside to start doing a rain dance.

Just got my tickets sorted for Trent Bridge and Headingley next year, I don't like cricket.....

England forced to play three back to back tests in a demanding country, but money is a bigger priority than the standard of cricket from us , well thats my excuse anyway

It's called professional cricket - thats what all the teams have to do - small price to pay for the honour of playing for your country! (well, at least if your not English!)

yeah... must be tough on them alright; 6 star hotels, business class travel, fine western & eastern food & drink at their beck and call 24/7. jeezusz mate, wot planet are you on? You make it sound as if the poor bastards had to sleep on grass mats in the sun & eat cold rice & river water! . Pity they are shit at batting & bowling too; might have somthing to do with why they keep getting used for batting practice by other sides. I'm amazed the media & pommy public are not already calling for a new coach.. isn't that the usual blame game?? Maybe there are some good Italian cricket coaches - couldn't make them any worse.

I do love it though! hehe
