We need to get off the Nelson. Not superstitious are you ? I just know we need to get off it.

Where did I put that big white flag?
cracker of a catch - absolute cracker - I think that shows you the difference. They are inspired to perform, this series means so much to them. We look like we've decided we've held on to the urn for long enough.

Nonsense mate ....They should be inspired playing at home after losing badly in the summer ....this is how cricket goes ...in cycles ....the best players always bat and bowl well from their armchairs you know ....

Where did I put that big white flag? cracker of a catch - absolute cracker - I think that shows you the difference. They are inspired to perform, this series means so much to them. We look like we've decided we've held on to the urn for long enough. Nonsense mate ....They should be inspired playing at home after losing badly in the summer ....this is how cricket goes ...in cycles ....the best players always bat and bowl well from their armchairs you know .... It can't really be nonsense if you write roughly the same thing I write, bish? You can call it cycles - You can say they are inspired just because they are at home (but they've not been for a good while, previously, have they?). But they are inspired and we are not. They are desperate to win - truely desperate - we don't appear to be. We are look mentally weak. It's not really cricketing talent that's losing us this test/series. It's lack of backbone with the bat in hand. The only mission for today and tomorrow was still to be batting at the end of it. 3 an over would have been just fine. We don't seem to have the mentality to dig in - As has been said previous in this thread, we appear to have forgotten what test cricket (it's a series!) is all about.

Well it happens .. Strauss retired , Trott gone , loss off form and injury ( and other things ) from Pietersen , Prior badly out of nick with the bat . The thing that I find more than a little worrying ( more so than the batting ) is the bowling .....Anderson is way off the standard we expect of him. At the moment , Swann our go to bowler in recent years is a shadow of himself , Broad is bowling well ....Finn is out of favour , Tremlett does not look the bowler he was , Bresnan is recovering from injury ....not a prolific wicket taker anyway ....there does not seem to be much on the horizon that is coming through ...

I just liked the mentally weak thing. I've shouted "mentally weak fucktards" at my tv 3 times tonight! 3 dismissals, that all could have been easily avoided.
