 Personally it means more to me winning a test series rather then a one day series.

			Don't think England have a chance in the upcoming world T20.  Very poor against SA.  The captain is a liability.  Best Owain could do is go back to Ireland and help them prepare for Test cricket, which it looks like they might have a chance to do under the proposed new 2 league Test structure.  Hope they allow him to do that if the chance arises,  I'm sure that's where his heart is.

			The trouble is that you only have to lose two or three wickets quickly and then its pretty hard to turn it around.

 Yes, part of the reason i don't care for 20/20 or one day cricket really.  Once one side gets on top it's all over.  With Test Matches there can be many twists and turns and second chances.
