A look at this England team's test averages

The point is if they don't click as a unit,it is only going to prove useless anyway.They need to play as a unit,which has been missing for quite sometime now.Maybe they can turn it around against a low profile opposition..maybe..

As has been stated ad nauseam, England are a poor ODI team but still a very competent Test team. You only have to look at the summer series against India to know this - a 3-1 thrashing that included 2 back-to-back innings defeats. England have a strong batting lineup as Trini points out (although it will be paramount that they figure out an opening pair), their struggles lie with their bowling.

De knock mussee from invisible Carter.

Since de hinglish cant see he look fuh plenty runs from him.

AND that is precisely what we are hoping our young Bats to Capitalise home .

The old adage " Blood your youths during a HOME series " holds true !


Look for big runs from Carter ,Bravo and Leon !

I'm talking about bowlers. Our pre World Cup games vs Pak, Ind, Ireland, Bangla, NZ, SA etc never had any sort of stability in terms of the bowlers selected. Tino Best, Rampaul, Holder, Roach, Taylor, Cottrell, Gabriel, Benn etc etc...we keep cycling through bowlers. No three guys ever played more than a few games together. The only stable selection was Sammy.
