View Full Version : Will England win a game on tour?
Belted by the PM's XI
Draw in a 3 day game against NSW
Draw against South Australia in a 4 day game - shows how pathetic England are. If you can't beat SA in a 4 day game, you've got problems.
All the Test matches they've been pasted
Copped a hiding from the Chairmans XI
Draw in another mickey mouse 3 day game against WA
--------------------------------------
With their recent ODI record, The smart money isn't on them winning a game in the CB series.
One would also doubt their ability to win the 5th test

Im tipping that they will make sure for a boring lob sides ODI finals series against Australia by having the wood on the Kiwi's, while the Kiwi's will show a lot more fight against the Aussies and be able to win a match or two against them. Thats where England will win games, I'm afraid.

Shane Bond is fit this time, the Kiwi's will do very well
Kiwis are a pretty decent One Day side. Good enough not to lose to England anyway.

That describes every test nation
New Zealand with Bond fit could trouble Australia

Jeez, you'd think so, despite their ODI record - if they don't I would be mystified more than anything. They haven't even shown fight in the Ashes series, so the odds of winning are looking grim, especially in the CB series.
I sense there's nothing to play for anymore, hence they made a turkey of themselves at the Boxing Day Test.
Their self belief must be as minimal as Melbourne's water supply.

Shane Bond is fit this time, the Kiwi's will do very wellHe's only half fit, expect him to be rested for most of the England games - that and the rest of the players missing for the Kiwis means the Poms probably will win a game unfortunately

They have to play well or fluke one at some stage. You can't go a whole tour playing that badly that you can't win one for a team of their calibre (ok they aren't great but they aren't the worst in the world)

True, but only ahead of Zimmers and Bangers in ODIs.

The Kiwis are good enough to give the World Cup a shake. The Poms are no certainties to win a match.

No, they will get smacked in that.
Well they probably got the biggest pasting in an ashes series ever.
Other than Freddie their ODI pace bowling is being lead by
Mahmood
Anderson
Lewis
Tremlett
Tremlett will end up a very good bowler, but the other 3 will probably play ahead of him. Also can he handle the pressure of playing the best in the world on their own patch?
So with an attack containing Lewis, Anderson and Mahmood, can anyone really see England winning a game in this series?
