Jimbo Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Unless our blowers have an amazing game, this is going to be another world cup that England don't turn up to......121 for 8 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/489-shocking-performance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I know, rubbish isn't it.We've only had one man actaully rise to the occasion. But Ed Joyce can't carry the team alone!!!

Keef Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It's a joke isn't it. I hope they get booed at the airport when they get home. They away on holiday playing cricket so much they forget that people here are actually caring about their results! Flintoff was a one tournament hero, and that's it.

ivemet-jimmy Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 What say we get together and form our own team! then play the current England team for the right to represent the country at any future event?!?! The scary thing is that we have a chance!! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/489-shocking-performance/#findComment-10892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalClear Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 .......Vaughan also defended Fletcher, saying he was an "outstanding coach" who still had a "tremendous amount to offer".....The batting is the real area we have to work on."......No, really?!?!!?

Jimbo Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Bring them home....Keep Fletcher as Coach, stuff the West Indies and Indian this summer. While doing so slowly introduce Peter Moores to take over from Fletcher. There is no doubting that Fletcher has done a great job for English cricket. When he took over we were the second worst test playing nation, we are currently (and have been for a while) in second place. We shouldn't turn our backs on that success. Test Match cricket is what counts not the one day record??

Keef Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 But still, make them all stand in the centre of The Oval, and be roundly booed for a couple of hours!!! They deserve that at least!

Keef Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 According to the BBC website, Fletcher will stand down after the last world cup match on Saturday. There's a press conference in a while were this is expected to be announced. Just hope the players will at least say sorry to him, cos while he may have made some mistakes, he can't go on the the field and play! Hope the next coach is strong enough to drop the under performers!

Muttley Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Maybe the new regime will realise that, against decent opposition, Flintoff just isn't good enough to bat no.6 in Tests (and probably ODIs too for that matter). He got away with it for a while, but those feet are made of lead. It's Botham all over again.

Jimbo Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Looks like we have leaked too many runs..... It was a shame to see Lara go out on a whimper. I was looking forward to him coming over here in the summer and twating our bowling all over the park.
