[Lou Grant]

85

Used to be unbeatable at home but shit anywhere else.

Now just shit.

I was starting to look for the thread you created in the Summer, Lou taking the piss out of the cons when Sri Lanka hammered them and found this! Beat me to it.

[Lou Grant]

Used to be flat track bullies, now not even that.

[kevin04]

Aren't you lot shite at cricket too?

[Lou Grant]

Aren't you lot shite at cricket too?

Beat South Africa in South Africa last winter

Made final of the world T20 cup

Beat Sri Lanka and drew with Pakistan this summer

Drew with Bangladesh

Currently getting the better of India in India in a series everyone predicted we'd lose 5-0

So, err, no.

[Lou Grant]

Australia have only won 2 out of 8 test matches they've played in 2016.

BT studio coverage is terrible. To be hoped they learn lessons for next year's Ashes. Swann, new teeth, Ponting, new hair, Vaughan, new hair and new teeth sat like 3 spanners on a workbench.

Greg James sounds an engaging character when doing his pieces on 5live, he's a rabbit caught in headlights on screen.

Is KP there too, Holden?

[Lou Grant]

KP is in Oz in the commentary box and then on to Big Bash mega dollars contract.

Who gives a fuck? Surely no one listens to any of those cocks - as long as they have cameramen that know how to capture the action professionally we will be fine.

Australia - the Scotland of test cricket met Scotland - the Scotland of football in a rugby match yesterday where the Scotland of test cricket won by 23-22 in a rugby match where Scotland are the Australia of test rugbaidh?!

[Holden Mcgroyne]

Some cowardly shots played tonight. They're a shambles at the moment. Barring the appearance of a new Mitchell Johnson, England must be fancying their chances next winter.

[Lou Grant]

South Africa win by an innings and 80 runs.

Australia have lost their last 5 test matches.

Wowsers - from 129/2 to 161 all out.

They're a shambles at the moment

Wowsers??????????????

How old are you, Sub?

[subsub]

Old enough, Steve...

[Lou Grant]

Du Plessis - 100. Superb batting, some fantastic shots.

That innings was mint.

How are England doing in India

[kancutlawns]

They're not playing del. The last test finished last Sunday, the next starts next week.

[Lou Grant]

How are England doing in India

Predicted by all the experts to lose every test of the series (rather like Australia did on their last tour of India), but so far 1 drawn and 1 lost and 3 to play.

[robhug]

In other words - England are losing as well.

[Lou Grant]

In other words - England are losing as well.

We are not losing at home. We have not lost the current series (unlike Australia) and we have not lost our last 5 tests in a row. Ergo, we are not the Scotland in this debate.
