Ours forgot to replace my beloved Haddin, I can see your logic although if you were down 3-0 would they blood new talent? England positives - Joe Root, Finn <wah> Edgbaston <applause> Camaraderie!

1st test - we gave you a hiding
2nd test - you gave us a hiding
3rd test - we gave you a hiding
4th test - pattern broken <devil>

Looking forward to having more time to watch this one. Should be a cracking contest.

And long may it continue. :angel:

Been busy winding up some last bits of business after retiring. Final accounts and whatnot. Paid me tax. Got **** all left but at least it`s mine. <laugh> Greedy bastards are not getting any more.

Congrats on the retirement mate! Say hi to your son for me.. Much respect to him mate a top, top Bloke! I got my tax too pops! 2k, gave half it to my mother so she can pay for her new kitchen! Happy days :emoticon-0148-yes:

Will do. He`s been a busy lad recently but he`ll be back on for the new season.

2k refund eh? Very nice to get some back. Our lot take it, fill in a form and keep it for themselves. Greedy bastards. Hate that lot with a passion.

Back to the cricket. Your lot will be raring to go. Expecting some fireworks. They`ll be wanting to give us a seriously hard time.

Any changes to your squad do you know?

Cheers mate, shame about your gov.. I reckon we'll have a crack but depends on our selectors pops, I'd like Shaun marsh in with Haddin and peter sidle <ale>

I think Geoff Boycott`s been on about him in the press somewhere. I`ll see if I can find it. Rated him highly iirc.
Yeah mate I believe he did very well in the warm up tests, may have scored a century? Class player watched him very closely over the years and wouldn't look astray at Trent Bridge <ok>

Can`t find the article. Mentioned when he came on as sub I think. Better player than the rubbish they`re sending to the crease. You know, the Boycott style of diplomacy <doh>.

I also think that Wood is a positive from this series and adds to the strength in depth of the bowling attack. We still need to find a spinner who can get the ball to spin!

****ing hell - $1k for a kitchen? I just got a quote for mine and it came in at £8600!!! Will the fitters fly over here as it'll be cheaper for their flights than the extra £8k for the kitchen!!

Haha sorry I should've worded that better mate. Yes I gave here 1k but that was to make her final payment. I believe hers cost around 15k all up. Massive kitchen and she deserves it <ok>

Still not bad mate - almost 2:1 Aus $ to Sterling! £7500 for a big kitchen is a good price - mine isn;t that big... Neither is the kitchen!
