I am assuming Jade is like Shola in that he compromising pictures of the hierarchy. Untouchable it seems.

He's one of three bowlers who have bowled more than 1000 balls in One Dayers and gone at a run a ball or more! And he's our first choice bowler?!

England cricket makes some baffling decisions. If cricket was like football, I'd boo the selectors... Instead I'll just have to tut loudly. Tut Tut I say!

It's just not cricket.



Oh, hang on...
 
You have to feel sorry for Stanislas Wawrinka. Just lost 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6, 12-10 to Djokovic. He battled like no one I've ever seen, against the best player in the world, and just came up short at the end.

I was willing that final set to go on forever. Djokovic might pay for it. Then again he is a complete bastard and never gives it up easy. But he has Berdych and probably Ferrer to follow so it is tough for him. Murray looks good for a semi final at least, but then I'd prefer Fed in other side of the draw as it wouldn't be an easy semi. Tsonga may test Fed though if he gets through Gasquet. Certainly out of the big 3 Murray has had a favourable run.

Every time I watch him its turns into baseball, far too expensive.
 
And he has a ridiculous haircut. TUT TUT TUT!

And I'm convinced he is obsessed with making sure his tattoos are on show. Always ****ing fiddling with top prior to beginning his run up. Fairy. Should concentrating on putting the ball in a good area.

Poor show old chap (is that dignified enough for cricket criticism?)

I think that's perfectly fair, until the Kick Posh Stuffiness Out of Cricket Campaign ramps up! <ok>

The state of ODI England is just ridiculous. A Wicket-keeper whose sometimes shocking with the gloves, always shocking with the bat, and players down the order who can't bat. If Cook doesn't score a century and Morgan hoof a few late on, we succumb to defeat, and miserable defeat at that. Really don't think Finn, Dernbach, Patel, Tredwell would get close to being in any other world 11, and the latter is alright.

Having said that, my father and I borderline hate watching games vs India. India are a disgrace to the game. They have wonderful fans, and some wonderful players, but refuse to have video technology so they can retain home advantage. Shouldn't be an option in our opinions.
 
Wouldn't you think the ICC would have the last word in video technology being used?

Absolutely. BOOO them I say. BOOOOOO!!!

It'd be like FIFA giving the world goal-line technology and a mandate to stop the clock (instead of having the added time system), and Man Utd going "nah thanks, we're fine the way it is"...
