H_B Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The England cricket team were sort of likeable plucky hopeless losers when I started watching in the 90s so it was quite easy to take to them. I can take or leave them now, wanted the kiwis to win when they were playing England earlier in the year but the Australian cricket team are invariably a dislikable bunch. I think this is a pretty likeable team. Only really Stuart Broad that seems to be a dick. The Aussies are c***s to a man though. Normally racist c***s at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Chris Rushworth to replace Anderson. Highest wicket taker in the County Championship at only 2.97 econ. Realistically it'll probably be Wood that just comes straight back in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Anderson will miss the next Test, but he is hopeful of being fit for the last match at the Oval. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Good start from Australia. Not worrying yet but if England don't take a wicket in the next half hour I'm going to get slightly nervous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I don't like how Michael Clarke seems like a good guy. He'd be dropped if he wasn't the Captain. Could this be his last Test series? Edited July 31, 2015 by Eednud 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 He be dropped if he wasn't the Captain. Could this be his last Test series? I'd be surprised if it wasn't. I'd also put money on him hitting a 100 before the series is done though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't argue with that and probably at The Oval to help clinch the series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It was rumoured he was getting dropped before philip hughes died. I think the way he handled that probably allowed him to dictate his own leaving terms, to be frank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
