Aye but in Jones' case you'll never be able to polish a turd

I'd support the death penalty for captured would be suicide bombers. Let's face it,they could hardly complain their human rights were being violated,when they intended to kill themselves in the first place.

I was led to believe from several quarters that this England team was good enough rather than having to pray for rain.

Sadly there is no place for sentiment in modern day Test cricket. When your time is up then a younger player usually comes in 9or at least thats the way it should be).

Almost like collateral damage? Bloody scary that the cops (if they were cops) are so trigger happy.

To the matron of Oakside Nursing Home, I believe you have a resident of your esteemed establishment. His name is Jim Mk2 and I believe his previous occupation was of a journalistic nature. I believe he flits between lucid, rational states and at other times, sadly, quite irrational pre demential states. Should you catch him in one of his more lucid moments could you ask him a question? Is this the worst Australia touring team ever? Yours in anticipation. A resident of a former convict colony.

Isn't anything now on going to be a record requiring total in the fourth innings in order to win?

If the England tail doesn't kick and a refreshed McGrath wraps it up early then England will be in the dippy do. Doesnt seem a great wicket for a Test Match and the ECB will be gutted financially wise if the Test is over in 2-3 days. Ooh aah Glenn McGrath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou ManCity.

Symonds isn't a Test cricketer so Rogerson will have to seek the counsel of Strauss and Pietersen. BTW is that a white feather in the back of Pietersen's hair or is he perenially unlucky when birds are flying overhead?

The penny has indeed dropped. I can finally watch Live8 Also doing a search myself it's interesting how the CIA and Bin Laden worked closely together http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO109C.html

I.m really glad I no longer I moderate some of the ###### posted on this forum. Commiserations to all those involved in and affected by the bombings.

Well I'll just take a brief moment out from hols in NZ to say this is shaping up to be an overrated England team. Not long to go now

Can't wait for the Test series. Bring it on!

Lets consign this past it waster to the bin now we've signed Bellamy. One of them at the club should be enough.

It was a draw as determined by the current rules. So get over it and move on please. What if the scores had been reversed?

They are going to be played to totally demoralise the Poms. Imagine the bowlers skittling out the top order then substituting a bowler with a batsman.

You're talking to the hand rather than the face now. I'll look out for your next insult of a board member. Go the Aussies

Love and kisses to you too sweetie. I took an oath of citizenship..does that register with you? So before you insult get your facts right. I was the one having a bit of a banter as were others. You popped on after pubbing it and totally misread the above posts.

Hey I support the country I live in. It's my home. Maybe I'll open a tripe shop and ask the council to have all toilets facing Ewood. I could support Adelaide City or Millicent but they aint countries

I had no need to follow up as they did collapse. Go the Aussies and enjoy your bitterness. And in future keep your insults to yourself plastic Rover fan from Manchester And judging by your most recent posts insulting others via a keyboard seems to be something you are pretty adept at present... http://www.brfcs.co.uk/mb/index.php?act=Se...sult_type=posts A common theme with you Anyway until the Ashes..

But both players are South African.

Perhaps I should have acted like various etnic groups in East Lancs etc and not assimilated. And Simon Says... never

Perhaps you're just a bit of a bitch then? Because amongst all the friendly banter you chose to personalise it. Must be bitter after all hey? What of the adopted players who play for England then? Struggling to answer that one? Yes I had no problems staying up to watch a great game but Im glad I didn't pop on the site afterwards to read such muppetry from you as opposed to Jim's subtleness

And another question for you MB. What do you think of the plastic "Englishmen" in your team. Aren't you glad Strauss and Pieterson have joined their adopted country's international team? Im sure the England selectors are glad they made that decision as they are an asset to the team.
