When KP got hit my dad was like "he's gone" coz he's broken many ribs
I was like, I doubt it because he'd be wearing rip protection (like many players) and it turns out he wasn't ![Stick out tongue :p :p](/forums/styles/planetcricket/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png)

As for the odi's, we have some of the heaviest hitters and miserly bowlers in the world. I would be surprised if we lost two matches. New Zealand always gives us a hard time and may just knock us over at some stage but Australia will be a clear winner at the end of the series. P.S. If you poms separate the test team you have now, you'd be crazy! They have a heap of talent and should be nurtured without the insecurity that goes with being a member of the U.K. national team. Get rid of the has-beens that control U.K. cricket.![]()

In the past I know that many English commentators consider every other series that England plays as "preparation" for the Ashes. That's why my above post. I also think that the whole concept of the Ashes has got to change. Not many teams play 5-test match series any more.
What's the players not being able to get the ball away got to do with anything other than our batsman just not being good enough at the shorter format of the game?
