Pollock: poms to struggle with Protean pace

Come off it! Men and boys, Dell.

[Keegan]I would love it if we beat the South Africans. Love it. [/Keegan]

It'd be great to see that twattish cyber-dickhead taken down a peg or two.

Which one is this?

The self-appointed forum snake.

ah

You realise you are setting yourself up for a fall if England slump to 87-8 at lunch on the first day?

How? I said I'd love it, I didn't say it's going to happen.

I think we have faced fast bowlers before like Lee and Akhtar.

Isn't it about time one of England's ex players came out and made a provocative comment? I'd love to see the headline- 'Botham- South Africa will be worried about choking' or 'Willis- South Africa's batting looks thin, as does Jacques Kallis's latest girlfriend'.

If Dale stays fit then SA will thrash England!

So if he doesn't shave it's 4-0?

What is "shape"?

Is that swing?

If it is ...it's a bit contradictory to say Steyn will be dangerous all series but Siborg and Jimmikins will struggle when the ball doesn't swing .

Otherwise ...nothing really different to Thommo , Hoggy I , Clem , Clag et al making big claims before any Oz series

Steyn is like Anderson but more consistent.

hat of conf of shape? Low?

God, you get more twattish by the day if that is possible.

When have I ever talked SA up?

In fact I have posted on a number of occasions that I think the series will be closer than many expect.

If Pollock was still playing, the original statement could go down alongside 5-0 or grovel.
