yes Jones he was brillant is he capable of doing the same thing outside of england???? can he swing it elsewhere!! that is the question...maybe he can but i doubt as much as he can in england!

so u think Ashley Giles(Wheelybin as we call him in australia) does a terrific job in spin do u??

where did I say I thought he did a terrific job?

As a matter of fact I think he makes the most of his frankly mediocre talents, which can only be applauded - not bad with the bat either but as you infer, not really capable of turning the ball. Thats life, we're about due a decent spinner!

last thing I heard Warney was applying for citizenship anyway, should have gone through by december next year ;)

decent spinner i dont see any in near future!! all i can say is at moment Australia are definalty beatable!! so next year England should be able to have a chance to retain the ashes...If they play there best cricket if not forget about it!! Warney staying put his gonna play till his 40!! lol just for u English!!

now india vs pak....

after that england come to india...i hope we can beat them just as last time they came here....and pak prooved england's weakness on the subcontinent pitches......

but not really worried abt that series....india-pak series is approaching...can't wait!!

its an exciting period apporaching....i remember last time india played pakistan...all my frnds with our pakistani frnds sat together in my flat and the atmosphere is soo electric!!!allthough my russian and other classmates don't know anything abt the game they just used to be attracted by all the indians and pakistani guys showing soo much passion and craziness!!!! lol and at the end of the game my flat is a mess filled with snacks and leftovers......but its soo enjoyable!!!

no comparison to india-pak matches....not even ashes comes near it !!! specially when u have both indians and pakistani frnds sitting together and watching the game and teasing each other!!!!

GO INDIA GO!!!!
good bye lanka....
Tell me about it! I go to a school where there are both Indians and Pakistanis and everyone is so pumped up! The teasing goes on for days!

Yea, everythings finalised, though let me see if the schedule is up-to-date, because they switched the Peshawar game b/c of Muharram.

i played cricket once when i was a freshman in college. they made me play pitcher or whatever you call it. i was ok til i started giving them my high fastball after 3 hit batsmen in a row my cricket career was over. in retrospect i should have stuck with my curve ball. its unhittable.
