Sorry gentlemen - am I missing something:(

Cricket, family Gryllidae (also known as "true cricket"), is insect somewhat related to the grasshopper and more closely related to katydids or bush cricket (order Orthoptera). They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae...........

Highlander, I think the England team, at the moment, would be better off rubbing their knees together that trying to play the game of the same name lol

I blame the selectors.

It's not the players fault that the selectors picked a team of incompetents.
