It has been a bad two days for English sport. First, they lost to a volcanic rock in football, and now they have been taken down in a T20 World Cup cricket clash with Australia. Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust, if Iceland don't get you, the Aussies must.

You've hit rock bottom when Iceland are laying the proverbial boot into you, right Ken? 😂

john, always remember from back when i lived in the UK and some euro qualifying game of Scotland v the Faroe islands and i think it ended in a draw. a bloke was on a radio talkback sports show, and he was going off (it was all reprinted in the press next day). just tearing shreds off his side. worst team they had ever put together, this was a total disgrace, everyone should be sacked, that a draw was the best they could manage meant eternal damnation and embarrassment for the entire nation, everyone's parents and dogs should be jailed, they should never be allowed on a field again. who in their right mind could have ever envisaged that the side would sink so low. went on for ages. did not draw breath. he was truly outraged and incredulous that they could not manage better than a draw. 

finally, the announcer noted that the qualifying rounds were not over, and that Scotland still had a chance.

there is total silence. 

then the caller says, what the hell are you talking about? i'm calling about how our team was not even able to beat those hopeless Scottish duds. 

always thought that the best put down i ever heard.
