idun Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The cricketers have done good, so bravo to them. [:D] But we'll have less of that EMPIRE SAVED, thankyou very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 And what prey was wrong with Empire? Surely, secretly, we who are in France hope to reconvert at least the western half to Englishism, to return it to the fold, so to speak. Imagine if Western France was part of England, what we could achieve again in the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoddy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I wonder if it's because they have the best looking captain they've had for ages ?Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Nidea Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That's true, except that it will be amusing to hear them talk about Ingrish cricket, reg before wicket and Rancashire and Gramorgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulT Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yes, great to win in India, especially as there were some superb performances, especially by Cook - a captain that can do two things at once, captain and bat.On the BBC Sport website where they give commentary on line along with people emailing, texting in etc one person said that when he was teaching English at a Chinese university the Chinese were playing cricket.Nice Yorkshire saying today from Boykes - 'more brains in a pork pie'.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
