About an accurate reflection of where we are, Murray jr aside.

If he gives it away (and he always seems less than keen) we're screwed. Who's our #2 even? Boggo still? British #2 and world # 14,000.

That's yer lot then; Poland beat us 3-2. That Evans hack loses to some guy ranked over 300 places below him. Why did they select him?!?! :unsure:

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Murray gives it away.

Wow. But it's not even surprising.

Any chance of not pouring money into the black hole that is British tennis when they can't even ****ing manage to beat Poland?

With **** all I can accomplish more than the entire set of ****ing losers. There's only the outsiders like Murray who win slightly more than sweet FA.

Well to be fair, we've only got one singles player so can't expect better than 2-2 from the singles - then add in their top 10 world ranked doubles pairing and we can't expect to win the doubles either.

No result over the weekend was that unexpected.

Dunno really. The guy who Evans captitulated to in straight sets is ranked further behind him than he's ranked below Murray.

I imagine there's a plateauxing off of talent after the really top players, but still it was a pretty piss poor effort. I imagine he must've shown something the captain liked as he's only our #5, but one wonders what, tbh.

Worthless mediocrity like John Lloyd shouldn't be picking the team. Guys like him are why Britain are a pathetic bunch of under-achieving losers when it comes to so many sports. He just doesn't have it or capable of recognising it.

Just a typical mediocre polite 'nice guy' that won't help you win anything.

Nice to see India back up. Are Bhuphati/Paes going to play another season, or are their bodies finally giving in?
Paes didn't took part because he was injured and bhupathi did get injured during th doubles games

but ther way both has been [playing doubles recently think they should be ok at least for the next season if we do get a fav opponent at home may be we could win atleast one tie in world group
