I like Jones, but I am afraid I am glad he is now almost out of the picture. He jst wasn't good enough at the end of the day, and Fletcher's OTT loyalty to him was beginning to grate and had gone on too long.

I knew England would lose the Ashes as soon as it all started to fall apart in Pakistan.

Australia completely outclassed England and there can be no complaints about this result, Australia and England fully deserve it. England have been well humilated and I am afraid I am doubting England have what it takes to even get a consolation this time round. They just keep choking and...

We have been doing this on another forum with mainly England fans, and the majority there are going for Aussie victories. I want to know what the opinion is amongst Aussies and why, although I think I may be able to predict them :p ;) Vote... Oops, forgot an option. 0-0 won't happen so...

It didn't take me entirely by surprise. I like Jones but know he deserved to be dropped and he did absolutely nothing when he was asked to go back to county cricket and sort his batting out after 2 years of steady decline after his honeymoon period when he was first selected. Read did bat like...

I am sure you will find the DVD on eBay, probably a pirated recording off Sky, but a DVD non the less.

When you recieve an infraction on 3.6, you receive a PM or email with all the details and there is a record of all your infractions in your profile viewable to you only. When an infraction is given, the mod can choose whether to give penalty points or just give a verbal warning, and include an...

One spinner. Unless England are playing on an absolute slow dustbowl that the seamers will struggle on, I see no value in dropping a member of Englands seam attack for a rank average spinner like Giles. If the second spinner was a wicket taker, then yes, but Giles just holds up an end.

The new version of vBulletin has an infraction system in which the mods here could use to wave their authority around more effectively and efficiently, and other cool features like multi quote. Does the BigNetwork have any plans to upgrade to this latest version?

I am confident Monty will do decently in Australia later in the year and cause the Aussies a few problems, if he doesn't play it would be an absolute travesty. Why on earth England would want to play Giles over him for the sake of a few lower order runs is beyond me. Sadly, there is talk of...

2005- 1568 runs, 74.66 average, 6 hundreds, 5 fifties, best 252 2004- 1564 runs, 65.16 average, 7 hundreds, 6 fifties, best 161 2003- 1444 runs, 76.00 average, 6 hundreds, 2 fifties, best 279* Yes, this season has been even more exceptional that usual, but my point is that this isn't...

This isn't a freak season, Ramprakash is like this virtually every season. Awesome run scorer in county cricket, but couldn't get his head together for tests.

I'd rather England did. Sorry Kabir, your crap.

I don't swear often, but England are ****ed. Preperations for this winters return leg against the Aussies goes from bad to worse, to even worse. Bye Bye Ashes :(

Good the UK is in need of a big cricket ground, they are all pretty poxy.

I was nervous at 88/3 but thankfully England ejected their fingers (with help from Pakistan's butter covered ones) and got a decent score on the board. No doubt it will be collapse time tomorrow morning as they slump to 360 all out.......... :( :rolleyes:

THE best cricket shot I have ever seen :thumbsu:

:thumbsu: bump :thumbsu:

Fair enough Apples, your little plan is working so far. I would prefer it if :mad: or :thumbsd: was used intead of :D though, better suited.....

Hey Apples, what is more server intensive? Users Online on the homepage, or the big http://bigfooty.com/forum/online.php who's online page which shows everyones locations and what they are doing? Just curious. I am not bothered about the who's online thing not coming back, with so many online...

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) Wait until you see Sky's new gimmic. Willow and Stumpy :o

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) If you mean the TMS messageboard then no chance. That place is an embarrasment to the BBC and has no credibility whatsoever. I used to post there but only look and laugh these days.

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) I think it will be same URL for the next broadcast. It's a rip of the payed live coverage being served up by http://www.ecbtv.co.uk/

You need to subscribe. HHAHAHAHAHAHA...Apples secret broken :D

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) usalion - "Changes for the 2nd test" Harmison may be back for then, has been bowling in county cricket in the last few days. I would like to think Plunkett will be one to go, but that won't happen as Fletcher likes his...

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) That is what I call a bugger up of the highest order. :(

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) Yep, I am a Lancs fan. Hodge has done better so far this season :thumbsu:

Re: nPower Test Series: England vs Sri Lanka in England (May 11-June 6) Is this working OK for everyone??? :thumbsu:

No. Fletcher will want Giles for his batting and field. When Harmison and Jones are back, it would mean Hoggard at number 8 if Panesar played. Which would basically mean you could pretty much bowl England out in 6 wickets :(

I put Vaughan's batting down, and quite rightly I think. He averages something like 34 over about the last 3 years. Not good enough. As a leader, he has taken England to new heights with the way he has led the side. He has installed confidence into the team and it's players through his positive...
