The Cricket Society III

And from 2003-2005.

We've had a couple of good patches, interspersed with incompetent coaches and idiotic selection policies.

lol, no he won't. If he can't score runs against India, he's not going to score much against a decent bowling attack.

Finally a chase for India to think about. Hopefully Kohli gets a big score.

Sadly, the top 2 are PAK batsmen. As always, making us proud.

I remember watching Steyn tear Hafeez a new one during the start of Pak's tour to SA in 2012 I think it was. He owned him so much Hafeez dropped to three for the ODI's, never recovered since really.

All the Sky Sports pundits put forward their World Cup XI earlier, with everyone leaving out Cook except for his good mate Straussy. Nasser Hussain got stuck in as usual.

Really? That surprises me thought these Essex guys stick together and I watched the presentation and Nasser hussian seemed cool with him two faced vladimur putin bastard

Nasser Hussain is an East London guy. He only backs Bopara and not Cookie! He didn't dig that far in. He just said that if you were to name the best six or seven ODI batsmen in England, Cook wouldn't be on your list.

oooo I see and Nasser was born in india right but moved very early? To be fair he is right but the they will back cookie to the end which is loyal which I admire.

It wasn't just Hussain. Botham, Lloyd, Holding, Knight (lol) and Hussain all said Cookie needs to go. Only Strauss stuck by him. Gower didn't make a team. The loyalty is admirable, but I can't help but think it won't pay off.

I'm watching it right now Strauss has just gone first, but lets be honest what is the worst that is going to happen we won't win a world cup? We've been doing that every 4 years since the bloody thing was introduced looool!

Hey now, not so long ago we won the T20 World Cup (mainly because somehow now other team bothered to show up). But that's not the right way to think about it, we need to go there and give it a proper go. Given the conditions, and English team should do pretty well regardless. We should give ourselves every chance of winning every game.

I agree the Australian conditions will be our best shot at winning it for a while as this will eliminate the Asian teams, and bring Australia, South Africa, new Zealand and England into the forefront, but I get the feeling there is so much negativity from 'commentators' about this team but we've actually got a number of good players bowlers and batsmen it is just whether all the pieces will join together in the end.
