McGrath played in one of the tests you lost.

England were number two in the world going in and coming out of that series - so they wasn't mediocre

ICC rankings are s**t. We are still ahead of you.

You are mediocre until you win a World Cup "5 times" <--- (feels good to say that Zidane98 )
You're lucky, there's no shoot outs in this World Cup either

WR, when I meet a German I say '5 world cups and 2 world wars'. Then they get a bit confused.

"Pyjama" cricket is not real cricket. Winning those has no baring on test cricket, which is what we are discussing

 

[Bojan KantKick]

There are no test world cups tho

Well obviously, the thing would last months

Which is why the ODI World Cup is used as the benchmark.

There will be soon. Introducing a Test Championship in a couple of years.

It's Micky Mouse, no one really cares. Much rather win a test series against a decent side

One day cricket won't even be around in a few years because of 20/20. We've won one of those, have you?

You'd care if you were any good at it. Proven by you bringing up 20/20.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Beat me to it!

I don't care about the 20/20 World Cup win but I brought it up because you two seem to think those type of tournaments matter

They'd probably care if they'd made it out of their group. 4/7 went through. #lolengland

Our batting woes make complete sense. Have you seen who the batting coach is?

Graeme ******* Hick

150 up for Handscomb. Welcome to the Baggy Green club.

No they don't. We've been collapsing for years. He's been in the job for a month.

But never England bad like this

Du Plessis has been charged by the ICC for ball tampering.

But never England bad like this

So players who have been playing the same way for 5, 6, 10 years and possibly been playing with technical flaws all through out and you expect within a month for Hick to have fixed those problems?

Our woes do not lay at the feet of Graeme Hick. Nor do they Mark Waugh or Darren Lehmann. They can only work with the talent they have, which right now is not at its highest point.

Sutherland and Howard need to go first.

Nic ******* Maddinson in the test squad instead of Patterson. His first presser they need to ask him what Mark Waugh's utensil tastes like.
Deadset average in average form. Selectors * up once more.
