    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Well aware of how fine a player Clarke is. He is Australia's best, no doubt about it. In serious form as well. I also think he's a fantastic captain as well. Seriously aggressive in his decision making, always looking for a result. He plays the game in the right way in my opinion. It'll be nice...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Broad is in a bit of a trough, no doubt. However, hes still in the top 3 wicket takers this calender year. I'm sure the other two are Anderson and Steyn as well. This idea that Broad is garbage is a nonsense. I'm also enjoying reading folk dismiss Pietersen. Quite simply, when he's on it, he...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    I was responding to some bloke trying to seriously tell me that Pattinson/Starc/Siddle are a better bowling attack than a group that has had success pretty much everywhere its been. The only side that has shown a consistent ability to keep the England attack at bay have been South Africa. If...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Monty won't play. Warner is a slogger and nothing else. England will play the same main trio of bowlers that have won every Ashes series they've played in together, Anderson, Broad, Swann. Those 3 have 663 Test match wickets between them. Yet we're supposed to believe a combination of...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    The English seam bowlers will be absolutely licking their lips at the prospect of Warner up top. As I said, his only overseas tour resulted in him averaging 25 or so in the West Indies where conditions, although very different, should be easier to bat on than in England. Cowan has 1 century in...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    I disagree with that massively. Batting wise the Aussies will need Clarke and Hussey to bat for hours and hours and hours in England. Warner and Hughes have (maybe had in Hughes case) serious technical issues. Cowan is nothing special and whats more, they are all lefties and England undoubtedly...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Warner Cowan Hughes Clarke Watson Hussey Wade Siddle Lyon Cummins Starc This is something like the side I imagine the Aussies will turn up with. Its also a side I expect to get hammered in England at least 3 - 0. Clarke and Hussey will need to bat for weeks to have any hope. Serious question...

    ***Official*** England in India

    Lets be honest, India are akin to a more talented West Indies. They are gutless. They lack patience. They don't fancy a fight. They are unfit. They can't play cricket unless it is in conditions that suit them. They are, in short, a shambles. However, at home they are damn good. Dress it up...

    ***Official*** England in India

    Context is that India have lost at home twice in 25 years. If England win here, it will be significant.

    ***Official*** England in India

    Hallelujah. We aren't on a bunsen here. This is a good wicket, bit of reverse but nothing major yet. England should comfortably put a big score up here and then bowl India out. 316 from India was appalling on this wicket, its a 500+ wicket when you win the toss at Kolkata. Barring a ridiculous...

    ***Official*** England in India

    It isn't just this series though. They've struggled in the Sub Continent by messing about. Pakistan have the best spinners on earth. Sri Lanka they just batted appallingly. However, in India they appear to have learned. The last side to win in India, despite their shortcomings, was in 2004...

    ***Official*** England in India

    Thank you. I would expect England to go and make 450+ here. They'll be confident after Mumbai and are clearly batting well. It wouldn't surprise me to see them go really big and bat once. Cook overnight on 136 is a scary prospect as he could go massive, absolutely massive. His wicket will be...

    ***Official*** England in India

    Hi chaps... First post so go easy..... I just wanted to put this idea to bed that Cook has been found wanting against certain sides. Against SA, he averages 40.55 and has 2 centuries and a HS of 118. Pakistan overall he averages 36.45 and has 3 centuries. His HS is 127. NZ are his nemesis...
