I wasn't aware we were picking non-English players in our side. Surely that's not allowed.
I don't recall much moaning when you were beating the world 11 a few years ago.....
U are the 1st to say this site talks 5hit and i ask u a genuine question, just to answer with a smart ar5e reply, make up your mind what u want from us champ
Really do agree with Goochy here, we need to stop looking for excuses outside our own back yard. Finally the mistakes of the selectors are starting to come to the fore, Hodge is still in our best 11 players in the country and won't get a game. For too long mediocirty has been excepted from our players, North is a perfect example with a test average of 35 and well Mike 'well done for turning it around' Hussey boy he has been so lucky to get more chances then anyone else in international cricket to come good! Selectors went too long with out a spinner just supporting hauritz all the way, they were to quick to through Krezja out of the squad. For too long we have been inconsistant at Test level and yet the selectors persisted and now it is coming back to bite us in the arse!!
So don't blame the poms for been to good because yes some of there players were not born in the UK at the end of the day it is 11 v 11 and there 11 is a lot better then ours!!
Goochy you have fair dinkum missed the boat on here and another site. As you should and would well know, I love my cricket and have no issue in this instance on who won this test. Please if you feel like it matters, post where I have whinged about Australia losing this test? I would say you are doing all the whinging about us, not us whinging about Australia.

The simple fact is you would not be harping on about all of our imports if you had won this test.
End of story.
I didnt realize asking you a question from a local english players perspective was harping on ..And if you took the time to read my post properly i compared it with what is happening in Vic cricket ATM , with interstate players taking ,on most occasions %50 of the spots in our 11 ...

spot on player agent, you can see right threw the selectors
i find it laughable stumpy that your even wasting your time in writing that, why cant u just accept your cricket team is now **** and that we are a much better outfit.......
no one cares about 20 years ago or players who were not born in england, they have qualified to play for england and thats the rules the ecb set so get over it mate.
its funny that you have brought this up when you lose but not when u were smashing us...

Alex Kepler played for Australia 1st mate, whats your point there. By the way i agree with you on the rest!
To be fair, us Aussies were hanging $hit on the Poms for having a world 11 when we were spanking you's. It hasn't just popped up now.......good evening
