Re: Cricket
Personally l think England have as much chance of winning the Ashes this summer as UKIP have of ever getting their hands on the levers of power.

Re: Cricket
They need someone with some serious staying power at the crease - bring back Boycott I say...

They also need someone who can change the axis of the game like KP.

Re: Cricket
Why on earth isn't Moeen Ali in the Test side ? He's not even there, and playing for poxy Worcestershire. Probably England's best player. See they've picked Tredwell, that killer spin bowler; Rashid would have been far better, can bat too.
Windies (players and public) just aren't interested in test cricket so its no real test. The crowd yesterday consisted of 2000 fat sunburned English'men', 100 English media and 12 Antiguans (the groundstaff).
I predict none of the Ashes Test Matches will last more than 3 days. NZ will give England a good thrashing too, English conditions will suit their bowlers perfectly. Start afresh with some youngsters, there are some good ones about, but England won't pick anybody under 21. Forget KP and pension off Anderson, Broad, Cook and the South African cast offs.

Re: Cricket
England fight back after losing openers cheaply in 2nd innings.

Re: Cricket
Trott appears to have been the recipient of two deliveries which would have shifted more than a few world class openers but Cook seems to be floundering and forgetting the basics. I really do think he needs a break because if he can't cope with the WI attack, NZ and Australia might just finish his test career.

l was looking at Cooks stats and he has not scored a century for a absolute age now and l think his problem is opponents found out his technical weaknesses in his batting and ever since then he has failed to get rid of those technical flaws in his batting thus the same problems continue unabated.
Personally l think its too late in his career for him to change now but who do you replace him with?.
