Probably a good thing for england with vaughan injured. The replacement might add some extra batting into their team

I said most....... 
And may I add, against most bowling attacks - it's not like the Windies rolled England over cheaply very often last summer.

the hard factys are that we need a good spinner to stand any chance of winning the ashes

Pukka! Thats brilliant
My tip at the beginning of the series was 4-0 Australia, now its 5-0 (Not totally related to the Vaughan injury though)

(comes out of posting retirement)
The problem with Thorpe coming out of retirement as I see it is this....
1. Let's assume for the sake of argument that both sides think that the last couple of weeks has been a terrible misunderstanding.
2. The ECB selectors go cap in hand
3. Thorpe realises their sincerity, invites them in, makes cup of tea, agrees to play at Edgbaston
4. Thorpe scores a century in each innings
5. Thorpe nullifies Warne
6. Thorpe plasters Lee all over Birmingham (that one is not hard to envisage at least)
7. England win
8. Thorpe is feted as a hero
9. Thorpe is first name on the sheet for the remaining 3 tests
10. Thorpe declines, decides to go shopping instead.

green top will see whoever bats first get obliterated by the new ball and whoever fields first gain the advantage of using the underdone pitch. If england win the toss and bowl they are a good chance of winning this imo. Top scorer in this match will only be high 70's.....
