Seekerz,
Crow away, you've every right as the Urn is now yours, handed over in some of the most idiotic, spineless and diabolical cricket I've seen in many a year.
And to think When Smith came out to bat in very difficult circumstances the other day, Prior was heard to say he was "one innings awY from being dropped'.
From the guy who is averaging 18 and whose only contribution thus far was 69 when the match was gone, pressure off and expectations low.
Prior is 5 Test matches overdue for being dropped and I am still waiting for Flower to take those "tough decisions" he promised us.......

No surprises for sqad......my bet with a mate that England doesn't win a match looks good.
Last series...we struggled for an opening pair.......openers are still vulnerable.
Last series....Broad and Anderson were over praised....nothing has changed.
Last series....middle order vulnerable.......it is more fragile this summer.
3 months later......what do you expect ....we are weaker and the Aussies have strengthened.
My bet looks safe.

One wag in the Australian media has published a headline: Not for the first time, Broad has difficulty walking.
It's at times like these one feels sorry for the Barmy Army. Thousands of pounds down the drain, one stating that he has spare tickets for the Boxing Day Test and he can't give them away. And Botham was right, it will be 5-0, but not to the tourists.
The only bonus out of this whole debacle is that we have a reason now to get rid of the dead wood and build a team for the next era.
Too many have toured here on distant reputations and made the side without showing any form. That will shortly come to an abrupt end.

Oh yes you could. As I mentioned before, they tried out Woakes and Kerrigan at the Oval in the summer... so that's two more to kick out of the queue.

Well, they're not in contention this time. So when do you propose those in the queue DO actually get their chance to show their mettle?
Or shall we just continue with the old and bold who are drastically out of form, confidence and belief?
