Congratulations! Well deserved too. It takes some hard work to get that title and I hope you don't hold it for too much longer.

Yep best cricket team in the world, watched most of the India test match and boy did we give them a good hiding in all 3 tests

I didn't know you fancied insects so much.

Not surprised. The Britons had a lot of extra practice swinging wooden clubs recently...

YEEEEAH

Last time I felt this good was watching Beefy bowl out the Assies and seeing my deer old dad with tears running down his face.

Pha, cricket

Now this is a sport

It used to be the greatest sport on the planet, until they introduced rules

Oberon · 08-14-11, 10:31 AM

W. G. Grace would be proud!

nikimcbee · 08-14-11, 10:34 AM

Now I thought India was the greatest at cricket?

I guess I need to ask all of my Indian co-workers to clarify that.

Lets go for a 4-0 whitewash in the series

.

And too add insult to injury, 8 England players are nominated for ICC player of the year

Yes...a long awaited period of accomplishment for the lads

A few years ago, I spend a very educational evening talking with an Indian cricket player. There is a lot more to the game that I ever imagined.

About a mile from where I live, I noticed a group of men playing cricket. I always mean to stop by and watch.

Good on ya England!
