Humble pie for me, re: Broad. Still reckon Onions would have bowled better than that though. ;-)

Broad has served the cricket pundits lots of humble pies. His critics might survive on them for years :mrgreen:
They said he cannot bowl full. Well, even a club bowler can alter the length every other ball, to say that international bowler cannot was funny.

Lyon the offie serves another one. Oh he bowls darts. No point in playing 2 spinners in subcontinent if they are nowhere near international level :lmao He has almost won them a test match and we will know in a couple of days. Humble pie is for the taking. :thumb Cricketers rock , media is yet again proved they know nothing about cricket. :clap

I'll have my slice of humble pie with some cream, thanks. And hopefully a second serving after the 4th innings!

I'm reserving judgement until hes played a few more games before I accept any humble pie, thankfully the Aussie Selectors have been removed, we might see a bit more of him.

Ian Bell now that he is on a prolonged run of form and even has the makings to bat at no3.

Lyon bowls darts? even before the match most Aussies reckoned that this kid has got talent but the question was whether it is right for a player to make his debut after playing 5 games. Aus picked just 1 spinner on a turning track and won the match.

Anyone who thought Tim Bresnan wouldn't become a world class cricketer can be easily forgiven, the guy has simply come a long way in those last two years and has taken his game to a completely new level, never seen at before at Yorkshire CCC.

I reckon Mike Atherton would be eating humble pie right about now. He was quite opinionated about Alistair Cook becoming ODI captain and how he felt that Cook wasn't the right man. Well Cook has taken basically the same team who lost to Ireland and Bangladesh at the recent World Cup and lead them to series wins over the two teams that played off in the WC final.
