BB FANS

8 what in a row?

is that your new boyfriend? did the last one dump you?

The first time, the England cricket team, have won 8 tests in consecutive matches, its unprecedented

Just like Scotland getting through to a second round of any major football competition

yeah, but crickets a sh*t little sport played by about a dozen countries, and even the vast majority of engurlanders don't give a damn about it

your new boyfriends better looking than the last one

Hmmm, the old

popularity = good, debate

Cricket does take a certain level of concentration and intelligence to enjoy, so i wouldn't expect the soap-opera, tabloid-reading, takeaway eating populous to get it

He is a dish, but he does nothing for me Hippo, but you seem quite a fan, and you don't even like cricket

Shouldnt that be 'England plus a few others'?

Strauss - SA born
Thorpe - Aussie born
G Jones - Aussie born
S Jones - Welsh

Thorpe - born in Farnham in Surrey, England
Strauss - South African born, but educated in England
S Jones - Yeah everyone from Wales, scotland and Ireland, can play for England, but as no-one else cares about it, as Hippo says, we just call it "England" If there was a British Football team, that would probably be the split as well
G Jones - Admittedly a bit iffy, i'd rather Read played hes from Devon

england have a habit of knicking other countries players, half the rugby team are foreigners and a fair amount of footie players have dubious english bloodlines, and when did being educated in a country make someone english?

p.s. is your new boyfriend wearing blusher?

As he was born in South Africa, its probably the sun

Yeah lots of those peeps who have dubious English bloodlines have played for Scotland! Know nothing about rugger-buggers, can't stand the game

Do you think John Mcenroe, should of played for Germany, in the Davis Cup, coz he was born in West Germany

davis cup is a joke, tennis is and should always be an individual sport not a nationalistic one

To be fair pops, cricket is the only sport I will follow and cheer for England, though am sure you would give up the 8 in a row to finally win back the ashes.

I most probably would swap 'em, but its still the best England team i've ever seen
