Will and Martin
The Ashes is becoming more and more humiliating for England with every passing day. And two guys are doing their best to ensure it. Not McGrath and Warne, nor is it Ponting and Hussey.
Will Luke and Martin Williamson are the folks that commentate on Cricinfo.com during the Ashes, and their attack of England is scathing, but extremely humourous - in the Ted Corbett mode. Sample some from the closing day of the Boxing Day test…
We have had a couple of emails arguing that this is the worst England tail ever. I offer this as my suggestion that makes this tail look world class … Irani, Caddick, Mullally, Tufnell, Giddins
Pietersen is padded up…the rumour is that he’ll finally bat at No.4. The other rumour is he doesn’t want to…believe what you will
Right, get your coats - someone call a taxi. This will all be over rather shortly I fear
What a nut that was! Murali would’ve been proud. Prodigious movement. England aren’t yet cooked, but they’re in a hole approaching cavernous proportions…Pietersen storms off like a child who, forced to try something by his parents, fails and is about to launch into a burst of “I told you so …”
Several emailers have asked if the two sides are likely to play a Twenty20 match tomorrow if this game ends today, given that so many tickets have been sold. I think that there is more chance of Duncan Fletcher doing a naked lap of dishonour while singing The Sun Has Got His Hat On.
For the 43rd time this series Ian Botham, commenting on Stuart Clark, says “Well, he’s a clone of McGrath. But, I tell you - I wouldn’t mind a clone of McGrath in my team. Would you?”
Excellent ball that - late swing, too. For the optimists among you, England only trail by 152 (Flintoff had just got out. England were five down, and defeat was imminent)
Great work, guys! Just can’t wait for the fifth test!
