The Ashes

Mentality.....the more we Fear Smith and keep mentioning him..Smith Smith Smith and more F#cking Smith...the more he will dig in.

I whizzed past Liskeard today... could smell the alcohol eminating from Spoons from the bypass!
 
Rain?.... For Christ Sake...we dont want that excuse...we want to BEAT Australia.
Adding Rain to our already Weak mentality is not English..

If Smith is the Big Deal.....we need the Great Stokes to get off Ar#e and outdo the Twa# !
 
One lesson learned (I hope) is never ever play a front line bowler straight back from injury. Absolute disaster picking Anderson, could be the difference in this game not having an extra bowler
 
is definitely the difference - no way australia would have recovered from 100 odd for 8 in the 1st inns and then scored nearly 500 in their 2nd had jimmy been fit and firing

disastrous decision
 
...trouble is with England's test team is that they keep changing 3 or 4 batsmen...would we have been better to have stuck with Stoneman, Jennings and Vince and got them some experience...rather than bring in the likes of Roy...Denly and Buttler...who are good one dayers?....we rely on Root and when he goes so do our hopes...
