Indeed but some supporters just have to be a bit more patient for some players to fulfil their talent.

Darren Lehmann’s appointment is fantastic and suddenly there has been a real shift in momentum between England and Australia. I have always said Australia can surprise England but now I’m growing more confident that if they select the right team from their squad, Australia can make a serious challenge and win back the Ashes.

Re: Cricket
It's a good job Shane Warne is no longer playing, England struggling against Essex leggy Craddock.

Re: Cricket
Well the fun starts on Wednesday. 
A film on BBC 4 tonight ( shown in two parts ) is worth watching. I have already seen this, a friend in Scotland got a copy from relatives in Oz.
It's a bit simplistic and overacted in parts but the bloke who plays Packer is very good, not so the Tony Greg character, a good watch for cricket buffs anyway.

Re: Cricket
Can't wait for Wednesday. Not seen much of the Aussies but media seem a bit over confident that England will murder them. Looking forward to seeing Root and Pieterson in the test side together.

Never listen to the media as their predictions have a habit of falling flat on their faces.

Yes 400+ would be nice in the first innings.

Re: Cricket
England lose Alastair Cook and Joe Root but reach lunch on 98-2 at Trent Bridge.

Re: Cricket
What a poor performance by England against a very average Australian side.
