I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

Yeah, but by then you're drunk enough you don't mind using your teeth. Why do you think Warner always smiles with his mouth closed?

Imagine a time when Ian Bell would be the best batsmen in an England team.

And thats not because hes batting with the under 11 girls team.

If there is a fast bowler running rampant at 150+ and you're having trouble scoring runs off him then maybe you shouldn't try to hook everything to fine leg

I've been keeping an eye on final results not the detail but i'm guessing that this is petierson who was constantly getting out this way?

Nah, Pietersen this series has mostly got out mistiming shots on the onside, nothing to do with intimidation or any of that. Impatience, mostly. I'm not ragging on KP.

The point my previous post was trying to make was that England batsmen have offered bat to a lot of balls that they could have just ducked under.

Lionel Richie

Bell was considered captain material all through age group cricket, he was thought of as an Atherton type steely character, amazing as it sounds.

Every time I have seen Imran Tahir bowl, he's bowled long hops and full tosses. Not sure why SA keep picking him.

:cry: :cry: :cry:
I am not old enough to have seen the West Indies in full glory so I don't know if they had some rubbish bowler just hanging about but Tahir has to be the worst bowler compared to the talent of his teammates in history.

Also Australia will move ahead of Pakistan to fourth for sure and ahead of England into third if we can win 4-0 or better. Things are looking up for the good guys of world cricket.

We won A grade last season. The club fixed us up with a couple of kegs a bar tab and rooms for the night.

You gotta figure Cricket Australia is fixing them up with all you can drink bourbon and whores. Why are there no big scandals? I think Cricket Australia is loving the lads over. Tubby would have cooked off if he didn't have whores after the win.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I think almost every one of Pietersen's dismissals this series has been him trying to go after Siddle for whatever reason
