There are no more real dead rubbers like back in the days of Tubby and Tugger.

Rankings matter. We want to play in the test championship don't we?

Sure we want to win 5-0, its silly to say otherwise, no test side wants to lose a test

Are you suggesting that the old Australian teams used to slack off for dead rubbers, and only play hard now to keep up their rankings?

That's ludicrous.

England has a 50 run lead after the first innings

England are 0-60, get bowled out for 179

If England lose this game it will be an epic choke not even the stains could equal.

Might not quite match souffs epic choke this year though...

Even though KP is scoring runs its come to the stage where getting rid of him could be England's next best step.

Today he showed once again he just doesn't give a crap about the English team.

oh another thing

They let the players play in the BBL ONLY when the series was won

so much for 100% preparation for dead rubbers

It may have been a fair call if it hadn't all come about specifically because Morgan boasted about his ability to handle bouncers.

Hadlee never did like seeing us do well.

I remember hearing him bitch like hell when we used Dean Jones as a runner in an ODI against the kiwis and he all but accused us of cheating because Jones was such a fast runner.

Back to the test match, gonna be a tense day I reckon.

Gee it'd be great if Tubby could be a batting coach. He's an absolute student of the game
