Les anglais ne font rien comme tout le monde

"There used to be a bloke who gave himself out by walking when he'd hit the ball. The popularity of that within his team-mates may be shown by the fact that since his retirement, they no longer reply to any emails, phone calls or text messages."
Adam Gilchrist gives a tongue-in-cheek response to his own philosophy of 'walking'

i’m sure plenty of people understand, but my French is pretty catastrophic really. still, it appears the differences didn’t help us win against Pakistan. Maybe we should be ordinary.

My french is rubbish, Sophie, no worries. We confused Will a bit:)
Best not be ordinary. The WIndies are ordinary at the moment and when did they last win a Test?

basically Sophie, coach Fletcher admits the boys lacked patience and instead of blocking and getting a regular 2 -or 3 an over, they went for the big shots which worked on an England wicket against the Aussies this summer, but went well wrong on this worn-away subcontinental wicket. The boys wanted to get the runs in boundaries instead of singles. However, it has to be said, the Pakistanis bowled their hearts out and deserved this win.
