Turn around in English Cricket..?
This series..?
Go windies prove it to them that they aren't fit to be in international cricket. :p
Let them swap their status with Ireland.They seem to be a better side than these.

If England aren't fit for Test cricket, what does that make India, the team that England spanked last summer and currently sit in 7th place in the Test rankings?  ;D

In the last 5 years, India have a losing Test record - 18 wins, 19 losses, 13 draws. For comparison, over that same time-span, England have 27 wins, 16 losses and 13 draws.

Well we will Play the Indians in the West Indian XI !

Ravi Rampaul , Badree , Veerasammy Permaul and Imran Khan

to even up things so bala24 dont feel too spanked  :-[ 

Does anyone know the reasoning behind not having a one-day series to accompany the three Test matches?

I would venture to guess England only wanna do 5 days Practice

lemme check see what the OZ tour that follow , comprise of..
