England tour of West Indies

[HSVGTSCoupe]

thought someone better start a thread about the soap dodger's next cricket lesson

What a suprise that FIGJAM gets a ton on the first tour match now he doesn't have to care about the captaincy

[hornetrider]

Oh dear HSV, tsk tsk. Shame on you cobber.

FIGJAM? I presume this is an clever acronym you down-under chappies have for "the Ego", what? Care to elaborate old bean?
How are you chaps getting on against the Boers by the way? Your captain should be able to concentrate on batting now the "Dubya" impersonator market is drying up!

[HSVGTSCoupe]

fk I'm good, just ask me

[ITMonkey]

Nice one. I get it now!
How about "just ask Graeme Smith" instead?

I'd rather ten G. Smiths in my team than 10 FIGJAMS! Geezuz.. could you imagine the size of the dressing room doorway!

[ITMonkey]

If I had my way, we'd turn up for the Ashes with 11 Yorkshiremen and show you some real "crickit".
Now imagine the size of that dressing room door!

Could be wrong and often am, but from memory it was your soapdodging lot that gave him the name FIGJAM a few years ago.

Strauss wins toss and chose to bat.

Why is Bell still in the side?

Currently he is the only one looking like taking on the bowlers.... but probably won't last long as usual - like Strauss and Cook.

[BigJonMcQuimm]

Oh dear and again.

Say what you like about FIGJAM, but he generally hangs around.

Freddie looks sketchy once again

And then chucks it away trying to look like a hero by getting his ton by putting it over the fence.

Tosser and always will be ( could have been a bloody good captain though )

[HSVGTSCoupe]

geezuz! after watcing the Oz vs saffas games this test is like watching paint dry

[hornetrider]

It's a bit gash eh.

What the fk is with this referral system as well - when did they introduce that? I don't like it at all.

The referral system is good and would work well if the 3rd umpire wasn't a plank.

Bob Willis got it right when he said "Daryl Harper shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a test match". I can't understand how he keeps his spot on the elite panel when he's patently useless.

I don't like it either we are human beings play a game of feet and inches not thousandths of an inch, give it back to completely to the men in the middle.

Having said that, Hayden might still be playing but for some absolute howlers he suffered at the hands of the men in the middle.

Edited to add, your boys seem to have returned to form much as we have.

Yes, it's bad isn't.

But look on the bright side we've only got to get to 46 to beat our lowest ever score

[MikeyT]

I want to come up with some decent excuses - kowing that HSV'll be one later crowing in his convict way, but I can't find any for this performance - it was 21-3 when I nipped out just before 6pm - I get back and I'm greeted with that score - ...
