Correct! welldone West-indies...

They did play well, but I think we gave it away at the end. 4 run outs is just not good enough.

This is, however a very young and inexperienced side, with big players to return.

1 defeat in the entire summer, and that with a B/C team fielded in a meaningless T20 is not a bad return.

"Good win, even with the demise of West Indian cricket they still did not resort to raiding the youth systems of other countries."

Haha is someone bitter?

It just shows how poor India are losing every single game to England apart from the games affected by the weather & a young inexperienced WI team come & win
straight away!

Terrible eyes-in-headlights batting from England, but overall the signs are good.

"Good win, even with the demise of West Indian cricket they still did not resort to raiding the youth systems of other countries".

Not many of the youth of today would want to join them - a team from the Yorkshire Council could have beaten that lot on Friday.

neon

name one person playing for england who didn't come to england by choice and were nowhere near playing international cricket at the time they made that choice ?

your suggestion implies that england scouted these players and approached them to come to england when in reality they all came here of their own volition

no matter how many times you keep spouting your little fantasy it wont make it any truer than the first time you posted it

Broad
Anderson
Swann

we would have spanked your lot this summer

Neon, you have certainly lost all creditably on this board. Your pathetic rambling is a result of a poor Indian team being demolished by a very professional England unit.

I thought it was hilarious watching players like Harbijan playing in the champions league yesterday when he was supposedly injured... Yes, Harbijan (like most Indian players) would rather take the cash than to play for their country. PATHETIC!

You spout your silly comments about England but you're indeed English yourself.... Hmmmm.

I really hope England embarrass India further in their own back yard just to see what rubbish you come out with then.

Grow up

bull$hit

kieswetter was a 17 year old school kid when he came to england to go to millfield school

pietersen couldn't even get a game for the second XI KZN Team at the time he came to england

you can keep moaning about this all you want but it just makes you look all the more bitter every time you do

and there are only two relevant facts ;

every single one of the players playing for england are eligible to do so

and

every single one of the players playing for england are doing so because they chose to

everything else is irrelevant and just sour grapes

keep crying about it tho

Exactly, you're simply making yourself look like a fool Neon.

what is untrue ?

you wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the a$$

you wouldn't have said a word about the background of a single england player if you had managed to win a game this summer

all you are doing is trying to make excuses for the hammering you took

this is the truth

every england player is eligible to play for england and chose to play for england , and thats all that counts

"Crazy - I have said time and time again that England do have a good side..top side as a matter of fact,. But it seems anything said negative towerds the England side ends up in you having a tantrum."

That really is rich coming from an Indian fan

"England did not produce a top side when they relied on players from its own youth system. They did produce a top side when they have players who have been trained in a different country."

What have you been smoking? Every single player for England have gone through the county system!

At the end of the day Neon, you're a bitter loser & you have to resort to name calling etc.

So pathetic.

the ironic thing neon is you are saying england should not select players who are legal citizens of this country just because they were born and brought up somewhere else, which is discrimination

and now you are complaining about being discriminated against

hypocrit much

the simple fact is that if these guys are legally eligible to play for england and england refused to select them because of their birthplace then the ECB would be liable to be sued

this is the real world we live in neon , not some fantasy world where no-one ever moves between countries or has dual nationality etc etc etc
