England Lions won by 5 wickets against England.
PMSL England's second best team is better than its number one team .. or at least it was in that match.

Isn't that a good thing for us? If Sunderland reserves beat Sunderland's first team, I'd be delighted at the quality of our youngsters and bench warmers!I was more excited by this result than embarrassed.
It shows how terrible the first team is. I have always said, half of them are crap, and this proves it.
I don't get you. If you're saying that we should play the reserves instead for one good win, and drop the team that beat Australia in TEST cricket, then you must be seeing something I'm not. Like I said, it only gives me optimism for our youngsters, and, as is probably your point, a few of the Lions players are now being tipped to play in the first team and replace a few lesser players.
No not replace the whole team. I mean get rid of half of your crap players replace them with the ones doing good in the Lions. Problem with England right now is, they don't drop players even if they do crap.I don't get you.

That's what India used to do. They never dropped players even if they played ****. Then we didnt even make it past the group stages at the ODI World Cup 2007. From then on, they have a simple policy: if you don't play well, you are going to get replaced.
So now, the players know they must do well due to competition.
england are dreadful at t20. netherlands last year anyone?
Saurav will you stop England bashing for gods sakes. Don't you have anything better to do in your time than criticize a cricket team on a forum? Jesus Christ.

I mean at least India and Australia are good teams and in the top 3. Bashing them makes zero sense.
:rolleyes:
If you noticed, I wasn't bashing but I was giving constructive criticism on how the team can improve. You obviously cant take constructive at all. :rolleyes: In which case, you might want to stay away from this section as not everyone loves the England cricket team. :rolleyes: Pathetic.

Well hopefully now that's sorted. I am pretty amazed that the lions beat the first team. Perhaps England A Rugby should play England. As long as good comes out of it then great! Harvest the best talent - the selectors may have been sitting on their laurals. It doesn't necessariky mean that England are crap it may mean that the selectors haven't been as on the ball as they could have been.
Oh, I didn't read the above post and I'm not going to because you are obviously going to try and patronize me. (Sarauv :rolleyes![]()
Btw I read you said 'Stephan', can't you read? my name says 'STEFANWOLVES'.
Did England just beat the World T20 Champions?
Oh yes they did.
