LOL check this site out

WTF?? In comparing gilly with Jones, "Both have much to prove ". R U fucking kidding me???? If this dickhead writer is able to make an opinion about Mcgrath being better than ali "because of his test pedigree", y the hell can't he do that with gilly. McGrath granted is a legend, a great of the game, but so is gilly. There is nothing to suggest he won't thrive in the twenty20 arena. Just look at his strike rates in both tests and one dayers. And while this article was written before their warm up game the other day vs. PCA Masters, he scored a brisk 53 of 50. Typical of the english media though thinking geraint jones is the next gilchrist. Bunch of wankers. Oh well I don't see england winning a test. Harmison is overrated and Strauss hasn't faced a bowler anywhere near the quality of any of our seamers(yes pollock is old and is quite overrated atm). I do agree with alot of posts though and would enjoy every game goin to full five days, with us winning them of course.

Tommorow night, 2:30 on Fox. The Australia vs England 20/20.

I'm fucking hyped for this series. We should do em in the one-dayers too.

Bangladesh will have some struggles against us and England. Is there a point to them being there for the series?

not really, but the ICC has to try to expand the game.

An english affiliate will commentate of course.

With the twenty20 game i think the aussies panicked after losing the openers, due to lack of experience in the format. As soon as clarke, hussey and ponting get some time in the middle against somerset and Bangladesh then they'll be better prepared.

agreed...but when u think about it this game means shit all except to make england over confident and remind the aussies that they shouldnt feel sorry for smashing the poms.

This pommie editor seems to think that tour matches actually mean something, overcriticising everything about the way the aussies played - from retiring some batsmen to the bowling strategy. Then comparing us to a listless Kostya tsyou (sp?)
They are really giving it to us now that we've shown lack of form so far. Clearly this is because of the lack of matchplay the aussies have had - they seem to have forgotten the 2 months break from cricket that the aussies have had. England's players have been playing in that period and are in their summer peak. It takes time - especially for our bowlers to find match-form.
Methinks a good start will turn to shit for the Poms when they run out of energy and spirit toward the middle and end of the tour when the Aussies start to find their top gear after a long break.

Tour matches aren't exactly played with the same kind of intensity as the Internationals are.

I'm sure we'll be more switched on come the first real games.

Coz watson sucks dick. I was at the SCG when he made his test debut and the whoile crowd was against him. Fuckn prick. Lol at how he tripped over after bowlin his first ball in test. Clumsy muthafucker. And Jayasuria ain't that bad, it's worse if it sum1 like strauss gets a hundred, we'll never here the end about how he's the next don bradman or shum shit, fuckn poms
