I'm not watching it so I was asking Lionel to describe it to me. There is no need to be so rude.

Why does Broad still think he can bat?

EDIT: Brilliant choice to play him off with the Coronation Street theme.

Nice catch.

Looks like McCullum will have to open in the tests, like it or not. That is unless we do something ridiculous like Fulton & Rutherford (we will probably do this fyi).

Ugh should have sent in Mills rather than a crippled Guptill. Also, Ellis still sucks.

But they're not trolls you see. They're very good posters.

If it wasn't for this English, this thread would turn into a self-congratulatory nightmare in which Australians label flavour of the week players as some of the greatest that have ever played. It would be a world in which Mitchell Johnson and Marcus North receive plaudits. The English keep this thread in reality.

See, Gorn Myson, this is the kind of thing they actually believe.

They'd never admit it now of course, but they used to genuinely believe Mitchell Johnson was better than Dale Steyn.

Smarter than the average Blair.
I think the antipodean contingent kind of missed that the English in the thread have gone beyond not caring about ODIs to actively wanting to lose them (excellent start lads). If England have a winning record in ODIs when Flower gets fed up of coaching and decides he wants to actually get to see his family before they forget what he looks like, Giles will almost certainly be given the full coaching job.

This must not happen under any circumstances. Losing a few games to New Zealand, Bangladesh, Ireland etc is a small price to pay in comparison.
