Australia- Gilly for me. When he gets into rhythm I'm not sure there's a better striker of a ball Bangladesh- Ashraful England- Pietersen, only one that looks to counter attack at the moment India- Dhoni (when playing) New Zealand- Jacob Oram Pakistan- Yousuf South Africa- Prince at the...

I agree with Andrew Nixon, where's Sir Garfield Sobers. He would be my choice. I wasn't around to see a huge amount of footage, but the footage I have seen, the stats and the comments from former greats is enough for me to give Sobers the nod. He was also a crown thriller, just like the...

I can understand your point, but the flip side to that is that these professional, highly paid athletes are not doing the business. Worse than that, they don't look like they are doing anything about it. Losing is one thing, but to lose in the manner they have been doing, losing with some...

He cashed in with his double hundred fair enough, but apart from that he's out of form because they've sussed him. It's also not wise to be getting involved in slanging matches with the Aussies if you've posted a string of scores that not even Tufnell would have wanted against his name.

I kind of agree stereotype. The depth of the Aussie system means that their state sides would more than hold their own against the current English team. England have to realise that we beat the Australians in 2005 because we had eleven players playing out of their skins, we won a test that...

Harmy's attitude was a disgrace after the Test series started. Nasser Hussein was spot on with his assessment of him. Retired from ODIs, give me a break. His attitude smacked of just not being arsed with the game. Maybe he should have told those thousands of touring fans who spent top...

It's a vicious circle at the moment. At our peak we had Harmy, Freddie, Jones, Giles and Hoggard all bowling superbly. Not one of them faltered in the cause and each contributed with some superb performances. Harmy was bowling vicious 90 mph stuff, so was Freddie. Hoggard was chipping in...

It's a surprising decision, but the side have been copping an awful lot of flak lately. Okay, the team haven't done that well, but come on, with the resources they do have they are still a match for most, and are always a deadly team on their day. Astle has been in a very poor run of form, but...

I'm not sure we could do worse if we had a massive overhaul of the current team. The year 2005 is now a distant memory. I would feel ashamed of myself as I looked at the MBE on my mantlepiece after these last few months. And yet we get the same tired excuses time and time again. As a massive...

What's the news on Trescothick following England's poor last few months? Is he on his way back, as there seems to be conflicting reports on the web on whether he is going to be back playing international cricket sooner rather than later after all the rumours (which range from depression to...

I have to agree with those here that say that Shane Warne is possibly the best spin bowler the game has seen. There can be debates over the number one of all time, and no doubt Murali fans will say that he is the best spin bowler in modern times, and perhaps since cricket's birth. But for my...

Fusion Fusion Super Best ?150 It's an absolute pinger. If it tops my Newbery Series One I had a few years back then I'll be more than happy, that particular bat was a gun until too much bottom hand whip ensured bits of wood kept flying off the inside egde :(

It's all really interesting stuff? And I agree with you Iron-Haggis. To have players involved in the selection committee, especially in the Jones instance, seems a little ridiculous. If there is a sniff of conflict in the England camp, the Aussies will be all over it like a rash. The Aussie...
