It should be "Finger Lickin' Good!"

Maybe we (England) stand a chance of winning a game at last.

Suggested theme tune: The Torture Never Stops.

Or possibly "Here we go, here we go, here we go" ..

The lone trumpeter is playing Yesterday, very apt.

Good Night.

Night, Ange!

If England have a particle of brain (that they don't) FLints should be sent home to get his ankle sorted out.

Pick Rikki Clarke and Michael yardy for the mickey mouse stuff.

Joycey?

If I was God, I woul;d ban this 20/20.

Nah- too many orthodox players in the OD stuff anyway. I'd pick big Bobby Key to open, at least he can give it a smack.

Who cares? it is JAMITT.

And hot on the heels of the JAMITT comes the SODIT, then the World Cup, which will get interesting somewhere round semi-final time.

Then diddly-squat till November.

A lot of the guys who played in the Test series will be rested.Possible England team-

Pietersen
Joyce
Bell
Strauss
Collingwood
Dalrymple

Plunkett
Lewis
Anderson

SODIT? Please fill me in..

Spurious/Senseless/Stupid

International

Oz/Eng/NZ next few weeks before WC

I see. Thanks. It was obvious what you were referring to, anyway.

So are we giving such names to everything that's related to everything that's sprung from under the sun that pops out of good ol' Lord's grey skies every now and then?

Passes the time. Some of those acks catch on, many don't. SODIT is mine, I'm not in any way claiming I've sold it into general use yet.

Very true. And sure. You'd find it difficult to find a buyer though.

Hope CA get this website working better by Tuesday - currently it is showing:

and 3 not out batsmen. But since it's a televised game, Cricinfo will cover it too.

I'm sorry, but it's precisely this attitude that causes English cricket problems. If it's international cricket, TREAT IT WITH RESPECT!!!

England were woefully unprepared for what were led to believe was the "biggest series of their careers". If they treat the Ashes with that much contempt then there's no hope.

I, for one, am disgusted by everything surrounding this tour. It's a disgrace.
