Hilarious, bit of Karma for the English public and media who have been dancing on the Aussie grave

How long should he have waited for the song? They were in the rooms for 5 hours, I reckon he was well within his rights to give the team a hurry-up.

I have no idea, was told that ex players like Healy said that the dress room was the place to be after a win. Lately a rare win. He couldn't understand why you would want to leave.
I've never played club cricket so I don't know, but hear its very blokey and can imagine this goes all the way to the top.

Personally I'll be with Bingle, just in case Fev was in town.

How is playing for your country when in dire straights conceived as selfish? Mind numbingFancy not spending 10 hours celebrating a serious loss.
Matured finally into a very good cricketer.

It will be good for world cricket if the Windies can improve, they bring something else to cricket that no other team does. Interesting stage where heading into here with no cleary dominant team in the world and some of the lesser countries improving. Should be fun to watch heading into the future.

Agree now. Ten years ago I was glad to see them wallowing after the pain they've given us.

I saw a fair bit of the replay of the WI v Eng on Fox tonight.

I must say I don't like the challenge system very much.

Im not a fan of the system either, you see too many borderline LBW decisions overturned when they could go either way.

Its a bit of a joke really, having players stand their ground and show their bat when usually that would be seen as un-sportsman like, but it's ok if they're challenging...hmm

Even then the 3rd ump came back with a bad call by giving the West Indian tail ender out when he clearly wasn't, you just had to laugh.

The umps are professional enough to give decisions, thats their job, whats the point of having umps standing on the field if they're not going to give decisions?

I don't mind the 3rd ump for close run out calls, thats a good rule, although it annoys the hell out of me when they call for the third ump when the batsman is EASILY home, it's not that hard to make those calls.

Chris Gayle looked just like my 5yo when I get him out.

I'm not out! I'm not out! I'M NOT GOING!!!

Re: England All Out 51

And why cant they see the ball go onto hit or miss the stumps?
Either have the lot or dont have it.
