England all out for 111 they are kidding.

LMAO it really is sad, personally they should have gone home and spent the time polishing up their MBE'e ;)

England 10 - 110, Australia 1 - 91, seems accurate, 1 Aussie for 10 POMS. Well after all it is Australia Day.

From the SMH to my mate Stu :

England outdid itself with an even more diabolical batting collapse than usual today, bowled out for a measly 110 from 34.3 overs in the Australia Day tri-series match at Adelaide Oval.

It was the lowest limited-overs total at the ground since a better English side knocked over Pakistan for 74 in a rained-out match during the 1992 World Cup.

The Australians had little trouble reaching 1-54 in the 12 overs before the dinner break, leaving them only 67 shy of an easy victory, their fifth from as many games in the tournament.

In front of a sold-out crowd and on a pitch offering no great favours to bowlers, the English set new standards of ineptitude after their captain Andrew Flintoff had won the toss.

Well said Mike and Happy Australia Day Hope it's a good one for you!!!!!!

PS Now for an even bigger joke than the team itself from the Sydney Morning Herald :

THEY are the most expensive flops in cricket history. After outlaying $3million for their tour of Australia, all England have to show for it is a solitary one-day win against New Zealand.

Incredibly, the rabble that lost the Australia Day one-day match to Australia by nine wickets - the lights weren't even needed - believe they are trying too hard.

The leading England players are being paid about $2000 a day to be whipping boys for Ricky Ponting's Australians.

The tourists began the soul-searching yesterday after being bowled out for 110 by an Australian attack that had Glenn McGrath and Nathan Bracken taking a rest.

Player match payments and tour loading bonuses, a huge support staff and even a reserve player camp have stretched the English budget into the millions.

England's top players will earn $170,000 for their 100-day Australian Test and one-day tour.

Australia 5 for 293 after 46 overs, more than England scored in some Tests, loooks like another world record in the making for the Aussies.

I typed this went and got a coffee came back 5 for 343, seems the Kiwis are just as woeful as the super crappy POMS.

Maybe they should combine to give us some practice for the World Cup coming up soon.

At least the Kiwi's have abit of fight in them the poms should be on BA 747/400 to London a couple of months ago!!!

not usually one to laugh at other's misfortunes ..... but what the hell

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :twisted: :twisted:

50th over: NZ 318-7

Sweet Jehovah Brown - Oram mashes into Flintoff, carting him for a straight six, a lofted two, a four over cover and another steepling two. That's his 50, off just 32 balls. 38 runs off the last two overs. Honestly.

49th over: NZ 302-7

That crashing sound you just heard was the wheels coming off England's listing wagon again. Oram eyes up Tremlett and goes four, six, four, six off the first four balls, hitting straight and over midwicket with easy glee. A mere two more off the final two balls and it's 22 off the over, and Tremlett's 10 overs have cost 72 runs. Sigh

some classic tongue in cheek stuff on BBC TMS

50th over: WICKET - Eng 260-8 - England lose by 58 runs

Nixon, on 49 not out with one ball left, goes big, only to fall to a brilliant tumbling catch from Oram in the deep. It's a fitting end to another thrashing. I couldn't be happier that I got up at 3.30am this morning to watch this match - one of the wisest decisions a man could ever make. Hope you had a fine time too - enjoy the rest of your day...

49th over: Eng 252-7

67 needed off the last over. Do stick around.

48th over: Eng 250-7

It's Comedy Cricket time. Plunkett drills one to Peter Fulton at deep midwicket, only for the fielder to make such a mess of the catch that he actually ends up heading it backwards. Plunkett then edges the next two balls for four. Is this the same game that Australia play?

Bit rough mate, you might upset our good mate Stu, hell we would NEVER want to do that would we. Same as Euan, getting that pleading SMS to tell him the series was finally over, I was so kind to him with my response.

What you lot don't know, is when the team arrive back in blighty, they're going on trial for high treason, and it go's without saying they all will be found guilty,

and, as we in UK no longer have the death penalty and all our prisons are full up, the only option left to us is to assemble another fleet and sentence them to 'life' in the penal colony half way round the world.

The Home Office reported today.

You mean they are letting them back in ? And yet again they are being rewarded after such a dreadful performance by sending them to Australia to live?? Gawd dont reward them by sending them to paradise, punish them by keeping them in blighty I say!!
