Yes they have flipped now now.

I have to admit I have been part of the Barmy army a couple of times.....

Better than the pansy puff or whatever there called

Maybe cricket should go back to the days where knitting and sleeping where in order


A terrific match this by the way Vic

The much maligned Bell and Broad are proving to be the match winners here.

[Vic Nicholas]

Broad has now shown that you can add the word "cheat" in describing him.

Aleem Dar as incompetant as ever.

What a great umpiring decision

[Twelfth Man]

Erm, interesting decision from the Umps there...

[Twelfth Man]

And then Bell snicks off and goes for 4

[Wedge2408]

Terrible umpiring there!! 
Should have walked...

[smilley792]

Shocking. From both broad, and the umpire.

That was crap keeping by Haddin.

Juxtapose the catch Prior took off Siddle.

Very poor from a man with the gloves at this level.

Because of King John of England, who ruled from 1199-1216, and whose disastrous reign was marked by foreign war, loss of substantial land in Normandy (France), and political upheaval culminating in a baron's revolt and the 1215 drafting of the Magna Carta (Britain's first constitution), which for the first time put limits on the king's powers. So as to be sure there will never be the chance of a John II, royals in line for the throne simply don't name their children John (at least not as a first name).


I (No Swearing Please) love google...

Barmy Army...Barmy Army!!!

Shocking. From both broad, and the umpire.

Having calmed down - you cannot blame Broad for standing his ground when he saw that the umpire was going to give him a gold pass.

The umpire is to blame for missing such an obvious edge.

Because Australians never cheat do they?

Out of curiosity, would Aussies prefer to see Haddin or Wade keeping?

You're right, but you'd love to think sporting integrity would come above the win-at-all-costs mentality.

Would like to think I would have walked.

Nice effort, but I CAN assure you that a member of the Saxe-Gotha's, ooops, "Windsor's" has been named John in the last century.

When you understand his wretched fate and how he was written out of history - to such an extant that none of you even have any idea that he existed - you will realise that propaganda and cruelty isn't only something totalitarian regimes engage in.

There is a very good reason why male royal babies are named anything, ANYTHING, except "John".

May his tortured soul rest in peace.

[smokem]

Frankly that's embarrassing if you don't walk on something that is so obvious...
