This Sporting Thread

Spineless is all I can say, absolutely spineless!

If you loose 4 wickets for 2 runs you deserve to loose. Congrats to Sri Lanka, in all fairness they tattered us over the three tests and as a result England have slipped down the official rankings.

 

Wow, this thread has been quiet for ages. [face_shocked]

Upppp! we go!

I thought I'd mention that Murali is set to break the world record by getting his 520th wicket! That is if he hasn't got it as I type this now.

 

A truely great achievement.
There are few like him in the world

 

he is a chucka!!!
Warney is still close and McGraw is back in action.
Pity our Zimbabwee tour was cancelled, would have been a lot of good wickets there

 

Well we all have our opinions on Murali, I guess.


As for sporting these days...football is the thing what with Euro 2004 going on!
I support England so the match this weekend was sad to hear about. We don't get the live match here..some highlights and I checked the net for results.

Hopefully the next matches will help England score the points they need.

 

You can say what you want about Murali, but "the leading wicket-taker in Test history" speaks volumes

 

and you can also say that Murali only bowls on pitches that either suit him or a pre-made and rarely tours outside his region. He would not even face us on our home soil

So are you suggesting that Murali has been fortunate?

Surely not!

 

no not at all i think he has been babied and is very wise with his decisions where and where not to tour. Warney or anyone could get a stack more wickets if they always played on custom pitches to suit
