With the possible exception of Clarke I reckon it is impossible to like this Australian team.
England has so many so many interesting talents. Kamaan. ippo kudukkura adiyila, innum paththu varushaththukku Australia endhirikkavE koodAdhu.

Bleddy Rain trying to save Englis ass. I need 2 full day's of play. NZ 235 ahead.

England always has a wobbly start.
Remember how it looked after the first two days of the historic 2010 Ashes in Brisbane?

I hope Cook and friends just bat them out of the match in the second innings.

But then I was hoping for such a recovery in the SA tour of England and it never happened

1) Hallo adhu India (Once upon a time-la) . Don';t tell me you expected Eng to do bad in NZ. On paper/form they can bulldoze NZ easily.

2) Ashes 2010 Historic aa?. 2005 is. I betted England would win easily and they did it quite comfortably. I even had a bet with LM here.

3) England can still win this series. They will fight back. All I want to see is NZ doing much better than expected, which I am seeing already in the first 3 days of this match. That is what makes this series interesting.

Srilanka scoring at the rate of 5+ against Bangladesh in first test.

Bnagladesh pre series pechu - This is the best chance for us to win a test match abroad .

1) I didn't ENgland to perform this badly. But I am just reassuring myself 'namakku idhellAm sagajam dhaanE'. Look at how they performed even in the India series first test. Twirl kosuvathi suruL:

a) before India, SL was there and they batted well in the first innings of the first test. England huffed and puffed to post a lead. SL then capitulated under Tremlett-Swann
b) India's tour of England first test at Lord's - they didn't seem to dominate the match as they ought to have: Prior/Broad stand prevented the advantage from slipping back.
c) They were clueless in Dubai. Nowehere were they in the game. But they were way better in Abidhabi - and then the 4th innings debacle happened.
d) They lost in Galle and came back in Colombo


2) Of course 2009/10 is historic. 2 innings defeats ellAm Ashes sarithirathulam, bookOLathula kidaiyAdhu
2005 of course is history HD. Everyone talks about it. But raththam vandhadhu 2009/10 - adhai meeNdum meeNdum solvEn. "I want revengge"

3) I haven't watched a ball. Weekend dhaan pArkkaNum. NZ teamE touch vittu pOchchu. palapEr yaar ennanE theriyalai. Refresh paNNaNum.

Oh ok. Appadi varinga. 2009/10 is good series. Both teams had fighting chances with Ponting/clarke amidst the runs.
