Ex-Number One England

[Plum]

The way BAirstow was playing I hope they summon the guts to not call KP for some more time.
pArppOm.


Strauss-Cook-Trott : one of these Always fired in the 2 years. Let down.
What's with edging the new ball every single time
Philander was doing nothing great but was always getting wickets, it wasn't funny.

I still maintain Broad or Anderson, in flow, are far better bowlers than this Morkali and philander. But they were so so ordinary while these guys induced so many mistakes. ONNumE puriyalE ulagathilE.

Overall this series was not the 'fast bowling treat' I expected. Not saying this because England lost.

Exactly same excuse being given by BritishvaaLs in Guardian. Feeyaar is a born britisher by temparament

This excuse about this series being lost because England under performed is nonsense. When the pressure was on, they coyuldnt deliver.

It is alright thrashing Dhoni and friends in England and a totally gone Australia. This was your first real test and you failed it. DONT GIVE EXCUSES.
Infact, it was England which took wickets with loose deliveries in this series most. Without that it would have been a thrashing.

This last day chase was a flukey boy in burning deck effort - and god knows Britian have a lot of that even in War history. Dont over hype even in loss.

SA were better. Repeat after me. England were shown their rightful place. Arguably longer than one year #1AmAm. Nonsense. SA have always been the rightful owners int he last few years barring their choking. England are pretenders and they were exposed finally.

A thrashing of Test bunnies Dhoni and co in India will not change this fact.

Now that Bairstow has done it, the disgusting ganging up on Pietersen continues in a shameful way in British press.

Plum, naan sonnadhula enna excuse?
I unreservedly say SA was the better team.
England's bowling was thoroughly unimpressive.
Although SA bowled better, there were no 'wow' moments/bowlers.

Wizzy, philander was better in his debut series versus Aus. Movement, setting up batsmen etc. Here he didnt do much but England were treating him with too much respect methinks. They got out to many nothing balls.

[P_R]

Ashes.
End of argument.

[Plum]

SA never win 3-0 3-1 etc. But they have a solid team with excellent test players. Wow momentslAm nonsense. apdiyE Ashesla enna wow moments? Cook and Trott blade gauging. adhai vida Amla-Kallis mattamO? summA pEsaNumEnnu pEsa koodAdhu.

[P_R]

Would that 'dead snake' Aus have been beaten by that comprehensively by the best any team (India, SA - rendaiyum mixing kooda paNNikkunga)? If your answer is 'yes' then

Anyway, England deserved to lose this series. They were well below par. Idhil iru vERu karuththukku idam illai.

[P_R]

Strauss and cook were examples of ppl who were giving him too much respect. I hope someone like Sehwag cuts him down to size. He is consistent, that's the best that can be said about him. Quite unimaginative, hardly troubling pace, nothing impressive in variation. Even the worst detractors of Anderson/Broad wouldnt say this about them - although they'd be justified in saying it after watching this tour

[Plum]

Whats your point? India dont even beat Banglandesh or4 Zimbabwe 4-0. Series whitewashlAm nAnga kanavula kooda yosikka mAttOm

England have the ability to cash in in when the opponent caves in like India and Australia did. adhai oru perumiayA mathavan paNNuvANAnnA?

You needed the opposition to cave in and not try - in those circumstances you can sure win 3-1. What is so great about that? Why is that a differentiating factor?

What were the wow moments about England? any ball of the century?

Yov nIngalum adhe Off stump line Pottu dhAnyA mEla vandhInga!

Why these excuses now? That England lost only because Anderson and Broad underperformed? Who made them underperform? WHy did they underperform? Because the opposition wasnt India or a 21st century australia who have forgotten their battling roots.

Why cant you comprehensively accept that England were never the dope that they were claimed to be? Even after comprehensive defeat. Why try to act as if a year ago they would have beaten this SA.

Then I would say the India of 2010 with Latchu and Sach in great form would have beaten England in England and Oz in Oz. idhellAm summA manasa thEthikka soliiKARadhu

Accept that yiur team wasnt al that you thought it was even in retrospect/ Tone donw your ATG appraisals of Broad etc. This is their level.

If India succumb to pressure under accurate bowling, adh bowlers graetness
If England does, England gave it away ilavasa vEtti to South Africa

Nonsense and you know it feeyaar
