How long will England be no.1 for?

[Cevno]

Look at this ****, one 4-0 series win against India and suddenly he's full of it.

Pakistan is the only team in the world that can rise up brilliantly from controversy. No other team can do that. And we will definitely trouble England.

lol

Keep it up guys, and one of you will earn their place alongside gvenkat in my 'dumbest quotes ever' hall of fame.

Indeed.

 

[DingDong]

england - gingrich (fading fast)

aus - romney (near the top always - and should win out at the end)

pak - ron paul (wild card)

nz - santorum (in the pack but a solid third for the moment)

rest of the sides can pick between bachmann, cain, perry, huntsman. none of them are serious candidates or completely out of it now.

 

[GIMH]

If we lose top spot we should regain it over the course of the English summer

Confident of course that we will win the dead rubber and in fact never lose a test again

 

[Burgey]

LOL @ Burgey..

Dude I hate to spoil the fun but seriously...you guys defeated minnows..The last two real teams you faced, you guys drew 1-1

Just telling it how it is. Other countries don't cope well with being number one because settling for mediocrity is ingrained deep inside what passes for your sporting and cricketing cultures. It's true.

India - was a decent hockey country once. What else? Got some decent weightlifters. Hooray. Good at carrying things. Like Tendulkar and their expectations. Gets heavy, doesn't it?

As for England, they've only ever had one sportsman with a sustained period of excellence - Steve Redgrave. All that proves is Poms do their best work sitting down, going backwards.

Pakistan are decent, but they'll get distracted the minute someone shows them a pic of Imran to fawn over.

NZ flukes a win here. They're plucky but not good enough.

SA are chokers. They're damaged goods. Held number one for about three weeks til they vomited it up.

SL have won one test in three years. We beat them there with a bloke opening the bowling at Hussey's pace ffs.

West Indies lack the resources for sustained excellence, sadly.

Zimbabwe and Bangas remain true minnows.

Face it, we are best at dealing with being number one because we are used to it. We're used to it because we're so good at it and have been for so long.

Our natural humility means it sits well with us, too.

Oi, you guys had to cheat, to even try and compete with us credibly in Kabaddi.

Wtf is Kabaddi? It sounds like something bad in the water.

Look, it doesn't surprise me we would compete at the highest level even in a sport no one here has heard of, let alone played. It doesn't surprise me because if you say to an Australian "Try some Kabaddi", after they've tried to eat it they'll try to beat your brains out at it. That's because even at sports we don't play, we have an insane appetite to kill everyone else at.

 

[TNT]

The teams take turns sending a lone ''raider'' into the other half, in order to win points by touching a member of the opposing team. The raider, who must continually chant ''kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi'' without drawing breath, then tries to return to his own territory.

Sounds like you need to be on drugs to play it.

It sounds like a bit of a perverted It's a Knockout, with all this touching going on.

Give us three years and the AIS will have us number one at it.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Pakistan has been decent in sports that we play. Squash, Hockey, cricket.

You guys collapsed against Bracewell

You guys collapsed against Bracewell

You guys go six months between debilitating drug and match fixing scandals.

NZ fluke a win here every 20 years, like England does. Or indeed Pakistan. So what?

Besides, Bracewell > any Pakistan seam bowler currently available. You're putting your hopes in a bloke who still has 4 and a bit years left to serve in stir.

**** all wrong with it. Burgey will either be bumping this thread in two years time because he's right or we'll be laughing at his predictions.
