mother knows best

England are known as the mother country to some nations, and the step mother from hell by others.

Perhaps there is a truth to it, as they certainly used mother nature to secure a undeserving draw in Sri Lanka over night.

I would suggest the current crop of players are more likely to be known as useless mother fu©kers however.

That will be my last mother reference.

Every team plays a bad series from time to time, and perhaps we should cut England some slack.

You know the sub continent can be a tricky place with all the killer bee’s and bollywood films going on.

There are positives to be taken from this series, they only lost one nil, Steve Harmison bowled well for almost half a day, Cook made a hundred when faced with Murali’s chief supporters and no one got bitten by a snake.

On the down side, KP is now English, they lost one nil, they may lose to the Kiwi’s, and Posh And Beck continue to embarrass everyone English, in fact, everyone who can speak English (so not Americans).

For yopu young kiddies you may not know this, but once upon a time England were quite a good team, true story.

I don’t really think the English team can lose to the Kiwi’s, but if any team could find a way to lose an unlosable series, it’s the Poms.

Let’s hope for their sake, the Bangladeshi’s soften up the Kiwi’s in their relegation cup.

Side note, should the Windies, the Kiwis and the Deshis play off in an official cr@ppest team in the world tournament?www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
