Irrespective of my love of the game or otherwise, surely its unreasonable to expect players to be away from home for this length of time and perform consistantly. I know they haven't performed at all yet but it must be 3 months since they were home and they are now in NZ expected to motivate themselves to play in a non entity of a game after losing the ashes series.

Seems a bit daft to me.

We finish with the same numbers as the NZ's.

Only in a slightly different order, all out for 120.

dont you just love our cricket team? :roll:

We needed 211 to win.

We had Mal Loye as a wild card big hitter.

What did he do?

He ponced about like he was Geoff Fookin Boycott.

We are without a clue.

Can you imagine Hayden and Gillespie fookin on like that?

We are a joke team.

Or maybe Gilchrist :roll:

Trust me, if there's one thing isn't a problem for this England team....its consistency!!!
