Lucas Neill Latest


Silly me, I was wondering where Lucash was and why he hasn't signed for any of the interested parties. The answer is obvious! He is watching the Ashes!

The game was in the balance until Swann was out in the last over. The Aussies have now got the advantage and could well drive home that advantage tomorrow. If they accumulate 500 plus when they bat, the fact that the ball is going through the top could return to bite us. Well played Katich to run out Trott but I had noted earlier that he was taking risks leaving his crease "on the walk" and that he was a bit lackadaisical about getting back into his ground. So whilst brilliant from Katich, it was careless by the South African.

Bell will top score but was never comfortable; Collingwood's shot was poor; Strauss's dismissal was disappointing; Flintoff's lazy shot looked as if he had retired already! The Aussies have bowled decently but there has been nothing special from them with the ball. The truth is, we are a team of mediocre players being beaten by a team of goodish players. If only we still had Vauhan and Trescothick available and at the top of their games. The loss of Pietersen was massive.

All is not lost yet but, in footballing terms, we are a goal behind at White Hart Lane after 20 minutes. It will take something special to win from here.

Beg to differ! We are a goal ahead after 20 mins and Whiteheart Lane! Now all we have to do is try to score another goal and try to prevent the Spud Scum from scoring!

I'm positive about the correct use of "you're" and "Your" mate! You're not!

Yep, we could skittle them and win the urn by day four. I hope we do. However, to be in the box seat we needed to be 5 wickets down maximum by the end of today. Will Swann turn the ball? He should do. Will Harmison get variable bounce? He should do. Will we add another 40 tomorrow morning? I desperately hope so. But, as things stand, my money would be on the Aussies.

I think someone out there is plundering my name sorry arse excuses check the url it'll be different
This is the only post I've made pretty sure the spelling of my name is pretty unusual, for a first name anyway, quite common as a surname

You wouldn't be the first Deane. It is a sad little game a bunch of sorry cases use to try to upset supporters of this site.

Who cares about cricket? Who cares about your and you're, or there, they're and their? What I want to know is, are the spuds going to leave Upton Park with any points on Sunday? I bloody hope not!

Nice to see you have the same grasp about cricket as you do on all things football e.g. bugger all
