Re: Cricket World Cup
Lies, damn lies and statistics
England does not compete in the Davis Cup. Not to mention the deliberate use of the last 40 years as the stat so they don't had to show how many GB have won.

All International Cricket Council members bar two qualified for the quarterfinals.
Why is half a day at home more tiring than a week at work?

Re: Cricket World Cup
You mean take a leaf out of Australia's book. Give a guy like Fawad Ahmed refugee status only coz he can play cricket then fast track his citizenship so he can play for his 'new' country.wizard wrote:

No england wouldn't sink that low

It also wouldn't have happened if Afghanistan had won all of their games

Re: Cricket World Cup
How quickly the cons forget that they do things like this. Ahmed, Khawaja, Symonds, Wessels, the entire 1st Ashes winning side, a lot of their rugby side, a lot of their musicians, prime ministers....N5 1BH wrote:You mean take a leaf out of Australia's book.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. That's why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

I like seeing the little countries we own improving and doing better. Cricket is the only worthwhile thing you can beat us at and even then only at home.
Hopefully one day you will improve at some other sports and challenge is seriously.

I fail to see any irony there, have you become american and suddenly not understaning irony?
Cannot think of a worthwhile sport that you can beat us at. Only one you have is cricket and as stated - you can only beat us on your turf.
Even competitions which mix up sports to make one big tournament you get beaten up eg. Commonwealth and Olympics.
I feel sorry for you, you were once such a proud sporting country.

Probably Quidditch. It's seems like the sort of sport that their whole country would be keen on.wizard wrote:What sports do England beat Australia in?
