You Am I posted:The Atherton era was a pretty low one for England. He has ankylosing spondylitis, and played with it most of his career. That is why he missed all those test matches waking up with a "stiff back".

As England are undoubtedly going to be an embarrassment I'm already gearing up for the post group stages, come on New Zealand. Those England stats really show how terrible we are.

I blame Mark Nicholas for introducing the term "square cover" into the lexicon of bad cricket commentary. You can be square in the covers or at cover point, but there is no such fielding position as square cover.

This is what the ICC get for hosting the tournament in some lovely arse-end-of-nowhere country where it pisses down all the time. I'm sure they have learned their lesson for next time.

The problem was that NZ peaked too early whereas Australia gained momentum throughout the tournament etc etc and all that bs. I propose we solve this at the next WC by having the final on the opening day and work our way back to the group stages over no less than 40 days.

England are terrible in the first test at home, which will probably set the tone appropriately. Moores needs to go immediately. Downton maybe can stay for the summer.

It more about quality than quantity with Inzy (although there is plenty of quantity too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQh70VV-RaY Also lol at Pontings ability to get run out at the critical point of the innings/match/series.
