We're playing England now and the Poms are playing well against us.

You finally realised your victories over New Zealand wernt that impressive and got scared.

We were also lucky with that 1-0 win in Soccer too.

My dad has gone to bristol for todays match ^_^.

Yeah but what was up with your strikers its as if they thought the idea of a header was to miss the ball.

We were missing at least 4 players(Nielson would have been great in the back) that we would have prefered to play and the team is a far cry from what we had in 99 its kind of wierd to see Jackson Ngata Zorichch Bouganuihe(sp)not there.

From what ive seen off the cricket it looks like Aussie are bowling too short and not waiting for the ball to come on to the bat.

it's depressing, :( the english guy in our class is going to be unbearable.

We'd better beat the Poms, but this English teams is good.
And Aussie cricketters getting drunk .... it was normal in the past

The poms have improved, maybe we've been a bit complacent. I think if the poms play well, they can definitely beat us, but if we play as we can, they'll be in trouble.

Haha.

But hey, at least they got a bonus point.

Well, two NZ and Pommie umpire! No wonder.

Australia has always being extremley arrogant when it comes to sports, constantly going on about how superior they are. That is what makes it all the sweeter when a team they look down on such as Bangladesh utterly humiliate them.

:lol:

Gentlemanly in defeat, as always.

Can see the Aussies winning this one, though, England selectors really stuffed it up by picking the extra batsman Solanki over the bowler Tremlett.

Well, the batting is fine. It's our bowling ... if you can't bowl out Bangladesh, there's an issue.

At some point the wheel has to turn. Maybe we have reached that point.

Aus 223 - 7 after, 46 overs

England, especially Steve Harmissan 5 wickets for 33

english bowling is beautiful at the moment...just came into college to do some work but will be going back to the match in a minute....steve harmison is doing great today as well as freddy...

Who will replace Australia was Uber-cricket team?

Pakistan - Inconsistent but talented.
India - Just not performing.
England - Getting better and better
Zimbarwe - That's a cricket team?
Bangladesh - No - yes they beat Australia once but the Poms trashed them earlier
West Indies - Having management problems
Sri Lanka - Good team, youngster coming through
New Zealand - Needs more superstars like Vetori

Australia 9/252. No much better than the score against Bangladesh.

Why do we need an uber cricket team? It would be better for the game if 3-4 nations scrapped out for the top spot over the next ten years or so. Though If their had to be an Uber team, being English, I'd naturally choose England ;) .

But isnt it a bit premature for this kind of talk. Yes, the Aussies have lost to Bangladesh but this is still the same team dubbed "Invincible" by some after some of the recent thrashings they have given out (N.Z in N.Z, Pak in Aus). Though I hope they keep up this form for the Ashes.

Note: You forgot South Africa - Not as good as they were a few years ago.

England 253 for 7 (Pietersen 91*, Vaughan 57) defeated Australia 252 for 9 (Hussey 84, Clarke 45, Harmison 5-33) by three wickets

Sorry reading for Aussies. As an Englishman have you got some sort of secret plan to lull us into a false sense of security before the Ashes then strike when we let down are guard? As if you are you are doing it pretty well, even losing to Bangladesh into the bargin, you must be the true masters of deception.

Bah! Australians. So arrogant. May I extend my congratulations to our bangladeshi friends. Well done! Perhaps this is the beginning of a collapse of all australian sporting triumphs. We can always hope. Perhaps you convicts will never win again. I hope you dont.

Bah theyve lost at least 4 in a row now.

In New Zealand we gave them the games!

Either the Aussie cricket team will start winning again, or they'll keep losing to the point where Warnie's latest indiscretions no longer make the news.
I'm happy either way.

did u no that Australia's main import to Israel is biscuits?

I know it's only one game in a long summer, but WOO-HOO!

Pietersen has to be in the test side now.

lol was it day 3 syndrome again?

Nope - not to Jeruselem anyway :D

Good news, Warne is back to his old habits!

what can i say ... come on you mighty bangladesh, and somerset oh i forgot cmon england too


victory is sweet

Bring back Steve Waugh

Don't know anything about cricket but go Pakistan! :D

What rhymes with austrialia..... failure

what rhymes with England...... er well er, Inca's Sands? oh well we won somthing at last, even if some of our players sound suspiciously South African, and you can't take that victory away from me.

Although that victory was lessened by being beaten by Bangladesh soon after...

Pietersen has to be in the test side now.
not to mention that he's gorgeous! cricketers have definitely got better looking in the last ten years...so now i can drool over great cricketers that have a sense of style as well :)

Australia beat England by 57 runs in latest one day match.

:)

In a day - night onedayer when the captain that wins the toss opts to field rather than bat, you know something strange is going on. Who in their right mind would choose to bat under floodlights?

Ha, Warne! theres a guy I'd like to punch!

Bring back Steve WaughHEAR HEAR
