True, but this isn't 1980 anymore :blink: England are going to win the series easily.


By the way, does anyone think it is a little arrogant of the MCC to call the test team "England"? There are currently 2 Welshmen in the team - Simon and Geriant Jones - plus there have been numerous Welsh and Scots making up the numbers over the years.

Those countries don't play International Cricket though do they? :unsure:


We are 217-3 atm in the 2nd innings, 369 ahead ;) :01:

No, cause England keep nicking their best players :lol:

I just think it would be more representative if the team was called Great Britain rather than England since the selectors pick the team from a pool of players from England, Wales, Scotland and - presumably - Northern Ireland.

If someone in the rugby hierarchy proposed calling the Rugby Union British Lions 'England' then he would be laughed at, even though most of the team are English.

It means they had scored 35 runs, 2 of their men had got out and they had a target of 478 to reach


They lost heavily btw :01:
