"From heroes to zeroes............which team's decline has been more dramatic, LUFC or Freddie's boys? David Healy, the Harmison of football. Discuss."
Both auditioning for the role of the Lion in Wizard of Oz Obviously living here Ive watched probably a lot more of the cricket than most (and been less bleary eyed) but the batting of England has been worse than dire - shedhouse would be a compliment Heres a run down Cook - late inclusion is technically sound, and its his first tour of Oz - Will get better with age, but was never the answer against Lee McGrath and Warne - then again, who else was there? Strauss - what went wrong. After 1st test, never ever threatened Bell - Probably a good county cricketer Collingwood - Prob a good county cricketer too except for a bit of Norther stubborness when he made a 200 - after that was easy to figure out and has down zip since Pieterson - they want to make this headcase the No.4 batsman??? good God. Man is designed for One Dayers and 20/20 shyte - Hasnt got the brains or patience to see in a test century against anything above pedestrian bowling Flintoff - Hands Capts cap back to Vaughan, Strauss or even Santa thanx. Poor batting, shit cpataincy, and bowling short spells on pain killers cos they fupped his recovery up Read / Jones - Neither can bat - Read can keep well, but so can Jones - compare to Gilchrist Hoggard - Tried hard. Englands best bowler in conditions that didnt suit. Harmison - Natural brilliant talent - minimal applications and zero ticker Mahmoud - On his day maybe - totally underused - not World Class, give another go Giles - Retire gracefully Ash - you will be destroyed in 1 dayers as you were in tests Monty - Not there yet but will develop into a gun bowler Andersen - ok on swinging pitches - tripe on flat non humid days The future is only OK, especially if we think this side is No.2 in the world!!! FFS a 5-0 whitewash hasnt happened for over 50 or 60 years _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
