You got your wish Steve, you won’t be…

...touring Australia on the next Ashes. Or carrying the drinks round grounds in South Africa this winter, as the England selectors looked to have called time on Steve Harmison's disappointing England career. ...read the full post →

Aw, yeah look mate…

...you lost the Ashes...again! It feels a lot different from 2005 doesn't it, which is better, it's hard to say. Two mediocre teams playing some poor cricket but do England have a future with this side? ...read the full post →

Did England read Langer’s dossier…

...and think it was the team strategy? Nearly everything that Justin Langer put down in his assessment of the England players proved right in their humiliating innings defeat at Headingley. ...read the full post →

If we win the toss, I think we’ll…

...bat!! Everything points to batting doesn't it the overnight rain the humidity your choice to go in a batsmen down and with a bowler extra - all out 102 says great call lads. ...read the full post →

Three down, two to go…

...just one needed. After the rain had teh biggestsay on teh draw in the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston, it's down to Headingley and the Oval, can England just get one more win and seal it or will this barbecue summer have the final say? ...read the full post →

It’s getting to be like 2005…

...only in a role reversal kind of way. England doing what Australia did four years back and now losing a star player Kevin Pietersen. But he isn't the same loss Glenn McGrath was back then. ...read the full post →

That’s the Fred…

...England will miss. As Andrew Flintoff rips through the Aussies and England finally get a win at Lord's we see the bowler England will miss the one that lifts all around him and intimidates those facing. ...read the full post →

Different capital…

...same idiots. All those lessons that the England team leaned at Cardiff were put into good use yesterday at Lord's as the batsmen protected their wicket and give them away with stupid shots against inept bowling. ...read the full post →

Pies and beer…

...don't help the knees. Andrew Flintoff announced he'll be quitting test cricket after this Ashes series to go and slog his knackered joints out in the one day game, was he better than the numbers suggest? ...read the full post →

Saved by taffy rain…

...crowd nutters and a bit of shenanigans. That's what got England out of Cardiff without being one nil down in the Ashes, poor performance all round even with Collingwood, Monty and Anderson on the last day. ...read the full post →

That’s the way I play…

...that's the way I get out. That's they way I help lose Tests matches. England got up to 435 against a not great Australian attack in the first innings of the Ashes, could have been so much better if Kevin Pietersen wasn't a clown. ...read the full post →

It all has to end sometime…

...and a lot of the time it ends in a whimper. So statistically England's greatest captain Michael Vaughan, with no real chance of an international comeback, announced his immediate retirement from cricket. ...read the full post →

Thank you Nick Mallett…

...England's man-of-the-match in the Six Nations opener. If it wasn't for the Italy coaches odd choice to keep playing Mauro Bergamasco as scrum half, England might not have picked up a win in this years competition. ...read the full post →

Loosing your star player…

...as captain, it's not ideal. But it's happened before and had a reasonably good outcome when Botham quit before he was fired, like Pietersen, back during the Ashes in 1981. ...read the full post →

I don’t know what’s worse…

England lose 5-0 in the Ashes, the first whitewash in over 80 years but it's the usual crap from the those humilated. ...read the full post →
