what a shambles that was this morning then.

our national teams are a disgrace at the minute in all sports, but that's what you get when we never seem to do anything about the future of them all

yea read they hadnt done very well,the ashes were lost in the first 2 tests,should have started monty from the start aswell me thinks

Excuse me whilst i have a sing-song

"Oh Monty Monty ! Monty Monty Monty Monty Panesar ! :cheese:

Come on cheer up we were never gonna beat the aussies in their own back yard

**Insomnia** · 15-12-2006, 07:57 PM

I wished they had played Monty from the start after what he's done! They knew what he is capable of!!

**DJsmallpaul** · 15-12-2006, 07:59 PM

Tbh i don't know how much of a difference he'd have made to the first two tests as the pitches wern't conjucive to spinning the ball.

**kai** · 15-12-2006, 08:06 PM

True but a good spinner can still do damage, especially in the 2nd innings - look at how Warney skittled us in the last innings of the last test.

Admittedly Warne is a different class to Monty....

**french_og** · 15-12-2006, 08:08 PM

Well nor is the WACA a wicket for spinners and he has taken 5 wickets in the 1st innings, not even Shane Warne has ever taken 5 wickets in an innings there.

The problem with having Giles is he is does not bowl enough overs as he is crap and the likes of Flintoff are relied on more.

Strauss should of been captain, Flintoff field placings and batting as been terrible and he should of been left to concentrate on his game.

**DJsmallpaul** · 15-12-2006, 08:55 PM

Flintoff's having a mear :grr:

**dan the acid man** · 15-12-2006, 09:07 PM

yeah, he should be left to concentrate on his own game at the moment, too much responsibilty on his shoulders now being captain too

mate you cant say that replacing either giles and/or anderson with panesar wouldnt have made a differnece

between those two they took about 1 wicket for 600 runs (approx!)

monty got a wicket in his second over, 5 in his first innings and scored nearly 50 with harmison with the bat!!!! :mrmyagi:

Another terrible day for England although it was enjoying to watch Gilchrists knock.

Strauss got fired again - 3 in a row now.

**Richierush** · 16-12-2006, 05:39 PM

bye bye ashes is all i can say

**Insomnia** · 16-12-2006, 05:47 PM

Would loved to see England win esp out there...
