What happened in the second test?

We like to win one we should never have won because it is all the sweeter however I could not believe the spanking the team received from the British press.

What were the comments at work today?

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

I for one couldn't care less, cricket it soooooooooo boring.

No amount of hype will jazz it up for me to even show signs of interest.

This is both propagandist and at the same time curiously revisionist.......... I'm not being swayed in my flexible and intelligent and logical beliefs. Be off!, you person who delights in poking holes in my albeit shoddy argument!!!
