The English lads don't dive, they hardly ever work up a sweat, every-time the ball approaches the boundary a ball boy might as well throw the ball back in cos the English are no where near, what about the great Andrew Strauss(?); well he would rather sip on tea and crumpets as opposed to stand and field, besides who on earth screams out loud and motivates sagging demoralized bowlers? Naa Strauss would rather stay put at point and whisper sweet nothings to himself. No doubt's the Brits wield the willow with flair, but will someone please remind them that they need to be able to throw the cherry as well?
Seriously the Brits play like a bunch of spoilt brats and it's frustrating as a spectator cos they are loaded with talent, but don't possess an ounce of gumption!!!
