England is a pathetic sporting nation ,'
They import all their sporting heroes . Poetic  justice  that they were humiliated in the world cup  and  the Sri Lanka cricket team.  Soon they will scour  the earth for players for their team  and individual sports,
They will be cheering for Andy Murray  in Wimbledon but Murray is Scottish , a country that wants nothing to do with England and who is voting soon in a  referendum to separate

At least we've got balls .  Where you came from there are only queers and steers. I don't see no horns on you and so what does that make you?

Prior to this series , England was exhibiting  much Bravado and disrespected the Sri L ankans . Fitting that they lost .
The arrogance of the English knows no limits

From Jala


England is a pathetic sporting nation ,'
Your view but I find that far too sweeping a statement. You would not be playing cricket had it not been for us so let us try and get a balance.
They import all their sporting heroes . Poetic  justice  that they were humiliated in the World Cup..... 
We were crap and deserved to get ousted that is all. I am not sure how divine that is and once again we would not be having world cups as we also invented this game. That said we were pathetic.

and  the Sri Lanka cricket team. 
I am upset we lost but on balance the Lankans deserved it for the way the played. Appreciate good cricket and a good game. The hate just makes you sad.

Soon they will scour  the earth for players for their team  and individual sports,
I, like you, disagree with having certain people playing for us and my criteria is you must go through the sporting and education systems to have a feeling of Englishness and Britishness. You know I have laboured this point but we have people choosing to play for us like Jordan, Small, DeFreitas etc. some of these people do have direct ancestors like Nash for you. Where is he now? Is he coaching in Jamaica?

[color=rgb(255, 0, 0)]We [/color][color=rgb(255, 0, 0)]do not scour, they come to us in droves. However I am with you on this one, I hate it as Jordan should not be playing for us, neither should Pietersen, although his mother was born here, Trott, Keiswetter, Dernbach etc[/color]

They will be cheering for Andy Murray  in Wimbledon but Murray is Scottish , a country that wants nothing to do with England and who is voting soon in a  referendum to separate
You have Trinidad and Tobago, don't you and Dwight Yorke was a Tobagonian but all in the region would recognise his success. Scotland, England and Scotland are one land mass and have a union called the United Kingdom which also include wales and Northern Ireland. We have had a Scottish cricket captain, Mike Denness .

So we do cheer for Murray as you may for any West Indian on the international stage so it is not as strange as you purport.

Quote from the inimitable, gladly, Ramesh otherwise known as Jala.


Prior to this series , England was exhibiting  much Bravado and disrespected the Sri L ankans .
There are always sound bytes and hype preceding any series and believe it or not you do it as well but you are incorrect in your accusation of disrespect. I am sure you cannot prove that.

[/size]Fitting that they lost .
SADLY AS USUAL YOU ARE WRONG! You are wrong per above but the team deserving victory won and you know what many of us are happy for the Lankans.

The arrogance of the English knows no limits
You really do need to get over this inferior complex and move on.

Excellent win for Lankans! Well deserved. Both matches have been terrifically exciting this series, so a very fine series. Gotta love test cricket.
Great resistance from Moeen obviously, but sadly in vain.

Also Mail, who are you quoting? And watch the formating, it's hard to decipher whatever that is  :-\

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
