Fred or dead 5:53pm on 20 Jul 2009 "2. Give the man a shocking ultimatum: no Tests, no beer."

Haha, classic.
Storm clouds gather over Camp England 01:29am on 12 Jul 2009 Few observations:

1) I think the mentality of our first innings was wrong. The Australian batsmen gave us a lesson on how to keep your wicket. When i saw Swann smash that 40 in quick time i knew we would be in trouble. If Swann can score freely then that's a good enough indication the track is a belter!

2) The Aussies got the best of the bowling conditions. Prior would not have got that ball on day two that is for sure!

3) In hindsight we got the squad selection wrong. As Geoffery has been saying on TMS, the pitch is offering slow turn that is very easy to defend against. Flintoff has been keeping it pretty tight at one end but we have nobody else to keep the pressure on. Onions/Harmison for Panesar?

4) Panesar offers nothing to the team. Might as well pick Rashid, his bowling is as good and at least he would be able to contribute in the field and with the Bat.
Brits in pieces 11:12am on 25 Jun 2009 "You should not be allowed to comment on tennis if you can't look for the positives" - Chris T

Looking for the positives? Are you Paul Collingwood in disguise!

Our players need to be lambasted!! The closest they have probably got to that is Sue Barker claiming "Oh that's a shame, but they'll be back next year!"

It's good that we back our national players,but then again i can't see how throwing them in the deep end against players ranked far higher is going to help them?(apart from a nice cushty pay check)

Realistically none of the male wildcards deserved entry whilst only Robson, Baltacha and O'Brien deserved them for the females.
