Superb Innings.

Prior babes is in.

 

[Mellotron]

To be fair Trott, Prior etc are probably still nursing MASSIVE hangovers.

Also, after winning the Ashes how on earth do you motivate yourself to play against Ireland?!

 

[Andrew]

If Bopara can play for England so can I.

The timing of the one day series, nay the actual nature of it, is ridiculous. The first Twenty20 match between the sides less than a week after the scheduled end of the last Test? Then SEVEN (yes, SEVEN) ODIs between the two? Do they not realise that no-one gives a toss about ODIs in this country? It's ridiculous, the ECB need to hang their heads in shame.

But a shite cricketer

But a shite cricketer

No he's not shite.

He's had a bad few months, happens to most cricketers, he'll be back in the England test squad I'll put money on it.

Of course he will. I just don't think hes good enough.

I thought Prior was a tee total in a bid to regain form?

And Ireland in a FRIENDLY on a cold damp day. How shit is that!!
