So you’d fancy our chances against any team,that’s not really saying yea we’d beat them though is it,come on now.

Every sports team in the world would fancy their chances in a game,but that’s not what I was asking was it.

The point was made to me by you and another that Australia are ranked one in the world,so I’ve asked about this current squad how they’d fare against the other shall we say mighty cricket boys,India and South Africa,and the response you’ve given me is you’d fancy our chances,and a report on Root suffering bad form from a 2020 story when he was captain.

The point about Root could be applied to umpteen former England captains by the way

We’ve got over the line today,and as I did say earlier I hoped we did,but this current squad is not filling with much confidence with bat or ball

But if you’d fancy our chances against those I’ve mentioned then fair enough that’ll do me,although I wouldn’t be as confident as you,but that’s sport,opinions,debates,and forums

So basically not much of what I wrote which prompted the response from you of me lying doesn’t really make sense at all

Both sides can easily say they couid have already win the series

The cheap shot was bailing when it was in doubt rather than digging in and having to watch every ball.

Kind of amazes me. We are on a City forum here right? They’ll sit through Jamie Pollock and Stuart Pearce but a slightly below par test match performance is somehow too much to bear.

Baffling

Told you we’d have knocked off 400 no bother. Wood and Woakes were set and would never have lost a wicket….

Ha ha I was hoping to re engage this but i didn't want to come across wrong , you can see why I was intrigued now . Even when the target was set in posted that I felt it would be close.
That being said what you said about historical chases I understood completely, just personally I hadn't seen any evidence in this test that it would be the case , I was nervous enough having to chase 250

Great series. Never has felt like a whitewash series, well not unless you’re hopelessly despondent, and it remains beautifully balanced.

Bucket hats seem to be in this year. Will Pep be sporting one at the community shield?

It was kind of cheesy that the rags handed them out to all their attendees at the cup final. I was honestly shocked. Sartorial choice has to be spontaneous. Otherwise it means nothing.

They looked like fucking eejits around Wembley that day. Though, to be fair, there wasn't that many around when we were leaving the stadium.

In hindsight, I should just have said it was a turn of phrase , maybe you took that more personally than it was ment ( I have history for this)
I added the Root bit because in a separate post you asked if Root has ever looked as bad ( words to that effect )
Would I say we would beat them , im not sure I would say we would beat anyone , have a good chance is as far as I would go . That's the thing about bazball it can go wrong at anytime. So in as much as its made us far more competitive than we were prior ( I think even anti bazball people have to accept that ) it can go tragically wrong . They need to find a ballance and if they were able todo that then yes I probably would say we will Win alot more than I would currently.
The comment that triggered you however was aimed at saying if we don't win this then we may as well forget playing against major test nations and stick to Afghanistan and Scotland etc, come on bro lol

The local pissheads trying to make themselves heard over the interviews. You think the stewards would have moved them away from that area.
