Well at least you're accepting science over faith anyway.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

jinxing works - hexing is its poor six-fingered blackburn-born cousin...

"You feel that with no wickets having fallen for a few minutes, and some steady batting, the momentum has slightly swung to England."
14.5 overs WICKET Buttler run out (Sammy direct hit) 13 (Eng 83-8)
Re: creeeeeckeeeett
4 runouts in an innings...must be a record?

And there was me thinking that there couldn't be a worse team than Australia when it comes to the twenty over game.

happy to oblige!

Re: creeeeeckeeeett
Props to West Indies, tbf. A lot of inexperienced first-class cricketers, never mind internationals, and their fielding was fantastic for the most part.
The run outs though <headslap.gif>

Re: creeeeeckeeeett
I still can't believe he was only 52. It seems ages since he played for England.

Re: creeeeeckeeeett
ok - so we're back on today... listening to the cricket is the ONLY way to avoid the huge hype-up over Wales/France - which just serves to remind me that we're no longer in it
anyway...
England: Cook, Kieswetter, Trott, Pietersen, Bopara, Bairstow, Patel, Bresnan, Swann, Finn and Dernbach
Ian Bell dropped - Bairstow in as a big-hitter... (KP surely has to prove his one day form soon?)
India win toss and will bat...
