What has happened to my beloved cricket.. What happened to friendship , sportsmanship ??

Yesterday, the Aussies were lucky to beat us by a whole innings..

They could have shown some sportmanship and played out at least five days...

Means everyone who always watch or monitor the game at their spare time are said to be watching a homo's game. LOL

Aussis are the most disliked team in cricket due to their behavior on the ground. There were gentlemen but not now.

ICC is also not seeing their misconducts and sludging..but they will see when any mild things happened by asians...

For Cricket to become a Gentleman's game again...the Aussies have to be trashed by all countries 5-0.

BTW Brit any chance of a recall for Ramps.. he is really punishing the county bowlers the past few years. Cant do worse than the current middle order.

Aussies dragged the game for as long as they cud, still got over in 2 and a half days.. They cud hav easily declared on 250 and still bowl England out again for an Innings victory.. They batted too long and allowed English tail to bat too long..

How ungrateful of you to overlook that they allowed Broad and Swann to score half centuries, else it would've been over in three sessions! :P :P :P

Have you read about the Ashes Cricket 2009 game on PS3? Rave reviews claiming it to be the best ever Cricket game to come out in 11 years :)

Btw, Schumi is back in the drivers seat. :)))) We need to catch up a lot!!!!!
