don't give up hope.
don't give up hope if we find ourselves 50-3.
don't give up hope if Australia are 400-5.
never give up. never give in.
cricket is a funny game.

Sure was, can't see how we can recover now, certainly not in our first innings anyway. Think we'll be fighting to save a draw. Whoever you support though you've got to admit that McGrath is just different class. I enjoyed all the hits we got on them though, especially the one on Ponting

Since the Natwest Series Final we've been far too negative. Half of Mcgrath's job is to get the batsmen on to the backfoot - we're coming out playing that way straight away, McGrath's job is half done before he's bowled a ball. It's the worst way to play, you're a wicket waiting to happen, and you're not getting any runs in the process. We need them all playing like Super Kev, on the front foot, meeting the ball. So frustrating to undo all that good work in the space of a few hours, but with Pietersen still in, we can get to within 50 and there's still a test match on.

Amazing aint it how the openers come out and play defensively and invite pressure onto themselves, whereas KP comes out today and soon starts hitting fours and 2 great sixes and then even Jones and Harmison knocked em around a bit

Kev is awesome.
just if we caught our catches, the bowlers bowled better in the second innings and the top order got more runs, it'd have been ok.
Jones has to go. if only read could bat.

I think we'll lose 4-1. The aussies are in another class.

Kev is awesome. just if we caught our catches, the bowlers bowled better in the second innings and the top order got more runs, it'd have been ok. Jones has to go. if only read could bat. Gotta say I thought the bowling was Ok. Not out of this world or anything but good enough. We bowled them out twice on their favourite pitch, and with better catching they'd have had two average scores. Anyway bit of cheering up needed so how's about some great sledging I've found! ;D Robin Smith & Merv Hughes: During 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played & missed: "You can't f**king bat". Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary: "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't f**king bat & you can't f**king bowl." Mark Waugh standing at second slip, the new player to the crease playing & missing the first ball. Mark - "Ohh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were sh*t then, you're f**king useless now". Kiwi - (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me & when I was there you were going out with that old, ugly sl*t & now I hear you've married her. You dumb c**t". Viv Richards misses a shot. Fielder says to him 'The ball is red, about 3 inches across and weighs 6 and a half ounces' Next shot, Richards hits it for six 'You know what it looks like, now go and f**king find it' Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne: As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. "Looks like you spent it eating," Cullinan retorted. Jimmy Ormond comes out to bat against the Aussies in the winter tour in 2002/03. Mark Waugh says "Oh look who it is. You're not an international cricketer, mate, so what the hell are you doing here?" To which Ormond replies "I may not be the best cricketer in the world, but at least I'm the best in my family." Glenn McGrath to a West Indian - don't remember who but he was vice captain to Lara at the time - 'What's it like to suck Lara's cock?' WI batsman 'I don't know, why don't you ask your wife?' Rod Marsh & Ian Botham: When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So how's your wife & my kids?" Merv Hughes & Viv Richards: During a test match in the West Indies, Hughes didn't say a word to Viv, but continued to stare at him after deliveries. "This is my island, my culture. Don't you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl." Merv didn't reply, but after he dismissed him he announced to the batsman: "In my culture we just say f**k off." Ian Healy's legendary comment which was picked up by the Channel microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... "You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat c**t!! Australian bowler - 'Why are you so bloody fat?' EB - 'Because every time I f**k your wife she gives me a biscuit'

I'm really excited, we finally have a team capable of beating the aussies. The first test proves otherwise - some of our players forgot they have to hit the red little round thing coming towards them with the bat...ffs...
