Thread: Cricket scores around the world

Meanwhile in the West Indies Cook got bowled for 11 and Trott got a gutsy 3 ball duck. You couldn't write this stuff

Boycott keeping it real..

Alastair Cook is arrogant and in need of a reality check | smh.com.au

Trying to get the Kiwis and Aussies to drop their guard

I was batting at 8 and was told to pad up when the openers went out.

So Bob, with KP sacked and Cook cooked - do you think anybody will EVER score 10,000 test runs for the poms? They were closer than anybody has ever been and given the tougher demands of players these days it's only going to get harder; so I'm asking you a serious question..

Quiet around here isn't it...

You there Bob?

KP won't, Cook will.....

I've just got off a plane returning to Thailand after having been away for close to a week....

I rarely look at TD when away, I'm busy living life.....

sadly a card malfunction lost me 500 pics from this trip.....

If Cook fails this Ashes he will be dropped. This is a pretty odds on outcome.
So, not likely.

OK, you're excused Bob. Sorry to hear about your photos

So, yes - It's definitely looking very tough for Cook. You would have said he was a shoe in a couple of years ago, but Necron is right - if he doesn't start scoring runs, he will be dropped. He appears to have a chip on his shoulder and is still in denial as Boycott said..

I guess real poms just haven't got what it takes to score 10,000 test runs. Interesting little fact that one isn't it

Not as interesting to me, I guess I just have more interesting things in my life.

Cook isn't done, far from it. He'll go over 12,000 for sure, maybe even 15,000.....

^ Well, that's a bold prediction Bob. You were dead wrong about KP and all of the criticism aimed at him being purely media hype and the 'inside source' you mentioned here saying that Kevin was loved and respected in the dressing room was not on the money ( I predicted he would be sacked and used as a scapegoat I believe) so I guess I will believe it when I see it.... personally, I think Cook is in denial & his arrogance will be his downfall. Anybody with team interests in mind would have admitted they have a problem and gone away to work on fixing it, but not Alastair - he even had the audacity to say that England would have done much better in the WC if he were not sacked even though he couldn't buy a run or win a game! And they say the Aussie players are arrogant!

Never hurt any of your lot much......

Funnily enough the guy who told me that was meant to meet me this last weekend as he llives where I visited and he truly is very high in the cricket stakes. He is involved in negotiating the TV rights worldwide. He didn't show, maybe he ended up being away or maybe he was ashamed of the quality of that intel.....

One thing you've never told us WDR....are you full of Pommy blood?

Cook got 13 and Trott 4 in the second innings which is an improvement for both on their first innings efforts.

Building up their confidence for the ashes.

Honestly, I actually think you lot care more about us doing badly rather than you lot winning....55555

Tells you something about what it takes to be a true blue Aussie doesn't it.....

I actually love cricket Bob and follow most international games with sincere interest.

What I posted was an update and for the benefit of the members on this forum and what you posted just goes to prove that you, like most Welsh, has a massive chip on your shoulder. 55555

Yes, of course you did.....

Nothing sarcastic about the second line of your post at all.....

As usual LT plays the part of the angel........ badly.... as badly as he plays the part of an Australian with his ye Olde Anglo Saxon name and English accent

What's sarcastic about that Bob?

Trott actually improved his second innings score by 400%.

You are a sensitive Taffy!

Like most Brits Bob...you are light years away from understanding Australians...I can pick the Brits pretending to be Aussie posters easily...they are oversensitive

You are an idiot Bruce, this pompous "I understand Australians" bullshit.....

Most of my best friends are, and I have lived there.....

The fact is you don't get the banter cos you know fuck all about Brits or Australians, in fact you know dick

This fact about Bwucey I agree with you 100% Bob.

You are a Brit...don't even know your way around Sydney

I think he must have some kind of 'Observers Book Of Nationality Based Cliches' thing published in about 1928 that he refers to.

He thinks stuff like slagging off Prince Charles is likely to annoy an Englishman. Or that there are people in England who give a toss what his little lost rock has on its flag.

Actually not, they are from all over and all walks of Australian life. In fact like people from most countries they are all quite different in their characters.

Some are first generation though none of those hail from Britain, some are 4th / 5th generation.....

Some are teachers, three work in the Australian Embassy, several are business owners and several of them are total bogan....a good cross sectional mix.

I probably have more Australian friends than you have friends in total, though unlike you I suck none of their cocks.....

See...an Aussie would just ignore that...are you a Brit Bob?

You prefer Brit cocks?...or maybe Thai katoeys...ask Cyrille about that
