I have this feeling that England are going to do a South Africa on me.
Give me hope by losing the first test to a minnow, and then win the next two games, just to p1ss me off.
The England are a strange bunch, with all the foreplay, drug taking and foreigners you would expect something more than what you get.
I was happy that they lost the first test, and I’m not unhappy they are losing the second, its just that they have given the poor kiwis hope, when there is no hope.
If you add Badonkadonk Ryder and Shane Bond to this XI, its almost a test match side, but here, as they lie naked before us, they are a very good first class side.
It is unfair to make them feel like they can win, especially when your male models have learnt taught how to bowl.
Somehow when England win it is a far less exciting test as well.
They have played a predictably better brand of non exciting test cricket than New Zleand and thusly are the favourites to win the game.
There has been no great risks, or overtly flashy innings, no bowlers bowling 150 plus, no spinners moving it sideways and so far no one has been called a bastard monkey.
What sort of cricket is this?
How am I supposed to relate to this form of the sport.?
Where batsmen get starts and don’t follow through and bowlers look like pretentious pretty boys but take socially acceptable bags of wickets.
Oh those from the England are a wacky lot.www.cricketwithballs.com "Sign our David Hussey petition"
