Re: The Road to the Ashes 2009 What's Hoggard done to get dropped from the English side? I saw his county stats not long ago and they were looking quite decent. Apparently he has lost a bit of pace, even though the swing is still there.

Re: The Road to the Ashes 2009 Good summary, but I think Monty is better than you give him credit for. If you like reading cricket books, Monty's book 'Montys Turn' is a great read.

Re: The Road to the Ashes 2009 It was 2-1 not 2-0 and had Smith rightly been given out in the 3rd test would have been 2-1 to England, Dont forget England also dominated the 1st test that was drawn and did lose the 2nd test after being put in on the first day in perfect bowling conditions...

Re: The Road to the Ashes 2009 I would have thought that a bowling attack of Flintoff, Harmison, Sidebottom, Anderson, S.Jones who looks like playing, Panasaar, and Broad would be more dangerous than Lee who averages 40 against England, Johnson, Clark , Tait , Bracken, and some unknown...

Re: Australia announce squads to tour India In all honesty I dont think the Indian, South Africa or pommie sides will be fearing this type of squad too much. I think they will all respect this side but would all be thinking they can beat the Aussies now.

Re: Its official- The Poms Cheated- Its the only way they'd win! Hey I remembered the openers name , Phil Jacques of course.

Re: Its official- The Poms Cheated- Its the only way they'd win! Teams including Australia have used all types of agents eg sunscreen lotions to help swing the ball for years. This is no different. 2 key points 1. No Australia player has complained. 2. Trecothick was mainly talking about the...

Re: South Africa in England England have out done themselves in this test with shocking selection of players leaving an unbalanced side. The next test side HAS to be something like this PLEASE ''''''' A.Strauss M.Vaughan Cook Pietersen Bell Collingwood Prior (Has to be come back)...

Re: New Zealands tour of England Simon Jones has taken his 3rd 5 wkt haul in the last 2 weeks and Harmison another 4 wkts overnight for their county teams and Flintoff was bowling as quick and as well as he ever has 3-4 weeks ago according to Justin Langer and he should be back in a week or...

Re: New Zealands tour of England With Jimmy Anderson taking 6 wkts overnight it raises the question which test team has the most depth in the bowling department. England looks pretty good with Sidebottom,Broad, Anderson Hoggard, Flintoff, Simon Jones, Tremlett,Harmison , Mahmood, Plunkett and...

Pontings captancy Just wondering how Ricky's captancy will be viewed in the coming seasons. The media all say what a great captain he is but I think its been hard to judge as he has always had the best team in the world under him. He was out captained by Vaughan in 2005 and has shown under...
