Scatter Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Gotta make the most of this, because as I said, I fully expect you to level the series at Edgbaston (before losing the remaining tests in the series), and I can just expect what this place is going to be like in two weeks. There's no middle ground with you lot. You're either the greatest team around, or absolute pap apparently... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjburrage Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 My dream commentary team would be: Host/Frontman: Nicholas Commentators: Atherton, Holding, Benaud, Gower, Bumble, Greig, Hussain, and back from the dead Jonners. There's a good article in August issue of All Out Cricket about Commentary Dream Teams, and Carl Crowe (former Leicestershire player) comes out with a brilliant lineup: Benaud, Alan Green, Murray Walker, Paul Allott, Keira Knightley , and Biorge Lillein, who? I hear you ask, but he's the guy who went off on one when the Norwegians beat us in 81. Imagine the scene, England win the Ashes with the last ball and Biorge could come out with the classic, 'England have beaten the mighty Australians. We've Beaten You!
