... have the Australian's sussed ...

... the English 2020 cricket plan.

According to a news report in the Ha'aretz newspaper the Australian captain Steve Waugh said yesterday his joy at retaining the Ashes was slightly tempered by England's poor performance.

The English team has to be careful if the 2020 strategy is this scheme is to be successful. As you will know - if you are English - this is our cunning plan to field poor teams when playing Australia - up to the year 2020 - with the intention of permanently destroying Australian cricket.

As can be seen by the above report the Australia team is already becoming disillusioned - what is the point of training hard - making all these sacrifices - when the team you are up against is no better than those playing village cricket on a Sunday. Over the next few years these permanent wins will make the Australians look bad - too competitive - trying too hard.

It will make the game very boring - so bookies losing their income - their houses - their wives - their mistresses - no one - but the English - will turn up to matches - no one will want to go to cricket school - or do cricket coaching - and by the year 2020 Australian cricket will be in terminal decline.

It is then - that we English start sending better teams which will dominate the cricketing world for a century or so .

Note to English cricket team The picture above portrays a player hitting a ball - probably quite hard - with the result that they may hit a six - or with a bounce a four. This type of behaviour is not part of the current English strategy and should be avoiding at all costs.
