  1. I'd like MJ to redeem himself in England - I actually think the Aussies will be warm favourites (have changed my opinion in this test) MJ, Cummins, Harris, Siddle - thats a good attack
  2. I hope all the England players front up and explain when they were rubbish It's Rankin for the injuried Broad. That saves Anderson and also Swann I hope Bairstow gets a go over Prior and would like to see Ballance over Root
  3. Stayed up all night for that Not worth it
  4. Anderson has gone all Hoggard this series and Broad has done his usual performance. But in essence England need a new opener, no 3 and no 6 Ironically I think England are still favourites when the ashes come around to England again ( unless Ashley Giles is in charge)
  5. England's away form has been horrendous and hopefully a 4/5 - 0 lost will mean no inevitable succession for Ashley Giles I really really hope England learn and start bring through some younger players with different skill sets Flower has been like Fergie in his last years. He grinded out wins in India (against one if their worst teams ever) and won the ashes three times in a row. But has left an ageing team to face India next summer and South Africa away with a World Cup subsequently in early 2015
  6. I am hoping for some changes on both sides for the next test Perhaps the Aussies will bring in Faulkner for Watson, anyone for Rodgers and perhaps Pattinson for Harris (needs a rest) England should replace Root, Stoke, Broad maybe injuried and perhaps 'rest' Anderson - not sure if there are as many to pick from but perhaps us the development squad
  7. Can I blame Ashley Giles yet - he my favourite scape goat? England needed to blood some younger players - I am banging the drum but we should have looked at Sam Robson and Moen Ali Sadly England will win next summer against Sri Lanka and all will be right again
  8. We will be all out for 210 I reckon. We should try and collapse and get to follow on
  9. Unbelievable that England are going to lose and be dominated by Brad Haddin in this series
  10. Almost game over. England need to get them out under 300 to make this a contest
  11. I wouldn't drop Anderson as the conditions would suit him (pitch and breeze) I'd bin off Swann and bring in Rankin as he'll have bounce and control (plus relatively new to the Aussies) Tremlet is too slow now and Finn erratic Bresnan for Stokes would be the bold move so they'll give a debut to Ballance If I was then I would be giving Robson from Middlesex (the Aussie) and either Varuna Chopra or Moen Ali (who is a good spinner) a go. I think Mills (the left armed from Essex) is too raw
  12. Harris knee injury means he is a doubt If he is out England have a glimmer
  13. Was that the series finale? The last three have felt like finales I thought it was batshit crazy in the end (but entertaining) I don't quite understand why Juice has gone mad in the past two seasons - I would be grateful if someone could explain
  14. Just saw the England one day and T20 squads I actually think Australia could win ever game this winter
  15. Cheers Well it will be 5 - 0 I think Flower will move on (IPL) and England will get a more progressive coach like Stephen Fleming (and a better bowling coach than Saker) I met Cook once. He is a very nice bloke, although he did mention that if he got an offer he would off to the IPL in a flash I think it would good to shake up the bowling for England - perhaps Rankin and Finn for Perth
  16. Australia are impressive but having said that they were thrashed by India recently I only rate SA at the moment in test cricket as all the other teams can't do much away from home
  17. I haven't engaged with this series at all Has it been of a really poor standard? England look spent - are there any good players they can call on?
  18. Of Fast and Furious Fame died ironically in a car accident. Not the greatest actor but certainly one of the components of the most memorable series of films in last ten years RIP
  19. Some of the best direction you will ever see on TV Will get better with time, true classic
  20. Was wondering if anyone could help? I am in hospital at the moment with amazingly high BP and am being treated for it. I was wondering if people knew any good lifestyle tips, diet and exercise ideas which might be good. I am 34 and have a stressful ish life/job, am relatively fit (slightly overweight due to the gym) I have been told to have 2 weeks completely relaxing. Does anyone know if stress alone could do this? thanks
  21. Brave changes, but the Aussies with momentum will win (also bring back Smith is a good move) The key change is the front row. I think the scrum should be more solid and with a French ref this could lead to more Lions pens It would have been great to see Manu at outside centre - but the Lions have kept him on the bench
