Well I have held off until the subject was beyond doubt..................

You guys from "The Old Country" seem to do better with a "Frightful Antipodean" running your team!! :O
One of our best, getting the best, out of your best...................

Damn it :'(

I couldn't agree more Brendan McCullum teaching the likes of Stuart Broad how to bat a lot better than before has been a revelation although having a few Yorkshiremen such as Joe Root and Johnnie Bairstow in the side has not exactly held us back :thumbup:
I was sorry that Jimmy Anderson was unfit for this test but fortunately we seem to be breeding decent replacements just in time for his inevitable retirement.
Liking the friendliness between the players,
It makes a pleasant change from the non stop sledging of the Ozzies :lolno:

Sorry, just a typical American reaction to a totally foreign sport.

That's ok mate, I've been in loads of sports bars in the US and as soon as they pick I'm from down here I get asked
"How can you play a game for a week and still get a draw !!"
Fair call ;)

Many major cities in the USA have a cricket club or two as well as a national team. :thumbup:

Well I’ll be damned. I need to get out of the woods more often.

Only if he's a bare bear :D

Even though a cricket match goes on for longer than a baseball game, is it right that a baseball match drags on? Someone once told me that it feels like it goes on forever.
