22 Sep 04 - 04:16 PM (#1278559) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: Les from Hull Well the Windies seem to have a revitalised bowling attack to dismiss Pakistan so cheaply. Should be a good match. |

22 Sep 04 - 05:23 PM (#1278614) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: Chris Green I suspect England will win and as as an Englishman this is good! But I have memories of seeing the Windies playing England when they still had guys like Richards, Ambrose and Walsh in the side (I was a kid at the time) and I do rather hanker for the days when they were the most breathtakingly entertaining team on the planet! |

22 Sep 04 - 05:34 PM (#1278619) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: Les from Hull You must be very young Bouzouki Boy! The first cricket match I ever went to (about age 11) was a charity match played in Hull. A local firm (Fenners) used to get a team to play Yorkshire, and my brother was collecting autographs. One of the autographs he got that day was of a young lad who was playing in the Lancashire League. Garfield Sobers! I will buy Mr Uppett a small sherry by way of compensation if England win. |

25 Sep 04 - 03:18 PM (#1280908) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: The Shambles What a match! The happiest person was Collymore - for he didn't have to go in to bat. It all truth he should have had to - as Flintoff had a perfectly good lbw shout turned down. Probably because it was too dark for the umpire to see it................. The English team did not make enough runs but were unlucky as they did do the hard bit. Who would have thought that Brown and Bradshaw would be able to stay in when the rest of the team (and the better batsmen) could not? |

26 Sep 04 - 08:23 AM (#1281340) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: GUEST,Jon OT and FWIW, here are the results from last night of what I was trying yesterday while missing the cricket. It's an old pig sty. Nothing brilliant but considering at the moment I often have to get my 69 yr old mother to sit with me to keep me calm in the mornings, sometimes have attacks which involve being sick, and have not made even a music session in a month... I feel quite proud of getting through this small achievement - a nice little den to escape the computer and everything else. |

26 Sep 04 - 01:05 PM (#1281509) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: Rasener In my honest opinion, If you can't bowl 9,10,jack out - you are crap. How the hell you can let the tailenders at test match level get so many runs in very bad light conditions - it beggars belief. Congratulation Windies, but exciting for an English supporter not - England did not do their job and need a good old rollocking for failing. They have proved that they still have a lot of work to do. However they are an awful lot better nowadays, so hopefully over the next couple of years we will be the dominant world team. |

27 Sep 04 - 02:05 AM (#1281991) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: The Shambles Contests are exciting. Watching a one-sided demolition job (by your team) on a lesser opponent may make you feel better but it is hardly an exciting contest. The one-day game can go either way. There were two teams in this final trying their very best and the bowling and fielding (especially the catching) in those conditions were really good. Credit is due to the W Indies team for winning an exciting contest. With hindsight - knowing that these two batsmen would survive all the attacking from the best bowlers - a less attacking option may have increased the pressure upon them to play more risky shots. If they had gotten behind the required rate - who knows what would have happened. But the tactics were the right ones I think - the batsmen just deserve all the credit for the fact that these tacics did not work. |

27 Sep 04 - 04:27 AM (#1282053) Subject: RE: BS: England thrashed the Aussies From: muppett WAY HAY Well done Windies I knew you could do it, memories of the World Cup Semi Final back in the 70's When Murry & Roberts put on a last wicket stand to beat Pakistan and then there was that famous Gillete cup bash in the dark at Old Trafford when Lancashire scrambled home in the dark against Warwickshire, they held up the 9 oclock news till it finished. Anyone remember those games. |
