Excuse me, I know the West Indies are not what they use to be, but you have to give credit where credit's due. So may I praise the whole England team, especially Stephen Harmison, Simon Jones, Nasser Hussain, Mark Butcher and Graham Thorpe.? :bow:

exacally.....

im tired of people who knock anyone else than there own side when they win....

england may not be the strongest side in world cricket but the improvement is remarkable, both in attitude and performance in the past couple of years...

and by the way indyan this is AWAY FROM HOME M8

are your team winning away from home in a test series 2 0???

I nearly passed out when i found out we went 2-0 up. The change in attitude has been amazing after what it was like in Sri Lanka. Atleast England now know how to play AGGRESSIVE

:huh: Are you joking? :unsure:

I wouldn't say we could beat the Australians NOW, but in a couple of years time, I think we'll be alot closer than we have been in recent years. And don't forget on the last Aussie tour, we had what seemed like millions of injuries!

 

[ricky123]

i will still bet my money on england :cheer:

australia will struggle,remember when the last time england toured aus,half of england side was injured, which gave aus the edge ,or that time england would have done better,i think that was also the time that simon jones got injured, and now england will be unbeatable at home ,with the current side ,

Are you joking? Australia would still beat England. We've just beaten Sri Lanka in a test series in Sri Lanka. It's the first time any team has done that in like 3 years i think

 

[ricky123]

u wanna bet on that, let the ashes come ,

 

[ricky123]

and what are u saying? srilanka is not a great team now, anyway aus is coming to india,we will show u there, england ,india and newzealand are the most dangerous team in the world now, i am talking about test ,not onedayers, in oneday india goes down ,but england will still remain in the top three,

I'm am aware still have alittle way to go, but like I said in a earlier post, the impressive thing about them in this series compared to past series is the attitude. They have been attacking right from the 1st ball of this tour, I don't remember us ever being attacking against the Sri Lankans

 

[squiz]

Sri Lanka is not a great team, are you blind or sumthing, or just plain ingnorant??

They have one of the best All-Rounders in the world, if not thee best, and the best spin bowler in the world.

 

[stevie]

I'm guessing that is directed at Ricky, Squiz?

 

[squiz]

yer man, it's not at u

 

[indyan]

I'll still put my money(not more than a few Rs) on aussie

 

[stevie]

Thanks for clearing that up Squiz
