. Though I still prefer your 19 point odds of qualifying versus our 10.That's fair enough, and I suppose that most of the people complaining about not playing in poor light have never had to bat in those conditions, against some of the world's best bowlers. It's still kind of disappointing (from a spectator's view) that one team can say, "we don't feel like playing for a few hours" and it's a winning strategy! But hey, I'd have done the same thing, and yay for y'all in Britishville, or whatever it's called. It was a heck of a series and y'all have a lot to be proud of.j$ wrote:I would point to the Old Trafford Draw, that we would have won easily if not for bad weather, so I'm kind of seeing those cancelling each other out.
I don't think anyone will complain that much - we lost - we know it (sob). It's just so hard to come to terms with England actually winning anything!j$ wrote:

And frankly if the Walkabout is full of whining about 'we wuz cheated' then it just makes it all the sweeter.

Well, he's not a South African - but still, you might be able to talk him into playing for England.
You need a new Tufnel.
I think Warnie had some, and I've definitely had a few - but suffice to say, the bakeries of Brisbane will be doing a roaring trade while the Barmy Army's in town. I fear however that soap and deoderant manufacturers will not be cashing in on the sudden influx of visitorsDenyer wrote:Who ate all the pies?
With qualifications like that Bill, you may well be selected for the 2nd Test. I suspect that there are several members of the English team who have never seen a game before either.HeuristicsInc wrote: i almost got to watch the game a few years ago when india was in the championships whatever in the middle of the night in nyc, but the room was full and i went to bed instead. i still have not actually seen a game at all.

My English half is very upset.
