In all seriousness, it is getting embarassing. It is just a matter of time before the whole Aussie team clicks at once and annihilates English confidence for the next 20 years. I can see Slater, Hayden and Ponting making big runs very soon, and Lee getting just reward for his work. He'll be bowling well over 90, don'y you worry about that.
Hussain would be better off calling Cousin Saddam in Iraq, and asking for some nerve agents, as that is the only thing that could get the Aussies out
Except Steve Waugh, who is so obsessed with ironcladding his technique that he no longer needs to breath.
Hussain is a shadow of his former batting prowess, and will not get it back this series.
Thorpe has done well against so so attacks, but I think he is rather overrated at the moment, and will be pulled back down this series.
If and when Vaughan makes an appearance, they will spiflicate him. He too, has done well against no one special, and I look forward to his confidence and career being smashed beyond repair
He will end up another Alan Wells, or Aftab Habib...
White should be on his last chance. He ain't done nuffink. Where is Flintoff, BTW.
The much vaunted England bowling, and the much vaunted England team are getting a lesson in reality.
It was good to see Ramprakash back in, as he was making runs, has a decent record against Australia, and can fight.
Ward should be dropped to obscurity. He looks less impressive each time I see him.
Stewart should retire or go down to 7, as he isn't making the scores.
Even Iron Mike is looking intimidated. Where is the MAN who performed that miracle in South Africa in 1995?
The relentless Aussie bowling produces so much schadenfreude, it is a pleasure
There are so Poms else where on the Net calling to "blood some new young lions who won't be afraid to take it up to the Aussies"
Such men do not exist in English cricket, and this is one series where you do not want to blood a newbie, as he is just a free wicket, and could end up scarred for life
(Graeme Hick debut vs West Indies 1991; a great talent strangled at birth. On the matter of Hick, I think he still could add something, if but as a specialist sub fielder, as he catches quite well. Sure he's had more comebacks than Michael Jackson's had plastic surgery, but who else is there with his kind of experience? Owais f*cking Shah? Vikram bloody Solanki?
He comes good every 8 tests or innings or whatever, but he'd be a good contributer to a team of losers, and can play spin powerfully. He is the only man in England who could hit Shane Warne out of the attack.
I remember a one dayer at Adelaide when he hit Murali over the grandstand and well into the rose gardens. That is a long way.
Any way, end of my Hick supporting diatribe.
Suffice it to say, England are doomed beyond all hope, and are being shown who the real best are.
India was a very, very close aberation with dodgy umpires and lots of luck going India's way. We are the champions, and with the current line up, are simply awesome.
The only thing that could stop a white wash is rain.
Or Frank Tyson making a comeback.
Or Botham getting the Aussies stoned
Or Graeme Hick getting recalled and making 1009*
And what about your bloody Bombers, eh Andy?
You must be a pleased as a pig in, well, a piggery.
This is my gospel, and anyone who disagrees with a single word, is in the words of the great Bob Hawke: "A silly old bugger."

Just when you thought the Aussies couldn't win anything else up pops Mr Thorpe the human torpedo and casually breaks a few world records and then wipes the floor, with the Yanks and Europeans, to help the Aussies take out the relay at the World Swimming Championships.
