Mr. Clive Cricket asks:
"
In light of England's recent success against the West Indies, I should like to hear your views on Englands best team for the Ashes series against Australia.
"
Good question, Clive! The first thing to say is that against Australia, skill and experience mean nothing. What we need is players with Spirit.
Ravi "the Big Bopper" Bopara is chock-full of the right stuff, and Kevin Pietersen has plenty of the Holy Ghost about him. Strauss sounds privately educated, so I'm willing to gamble he has plenty of the midnight fox about him, and a recent article in the Telegraph claims Swann once dipped his finger in urine to harden the skin. Monty: start dipping, and we'll talk.
Is Flintoff granite? Or is he a china plate? Was Onions' father a miner? Someone should find out.. Broad should be subjected to a chest inspection every morning, to check for hairs. Harmison, on the other hand.. look at his darty eyes and his hangdog expression.. He's a man on the edge - ready to explode! He should certainly be out there.. foxy manipulations are no substitute for controlled aggression.. let alone outright Mad Dogism.

How could you omit the beautiful chakras of Alistair Cook from your assessment? Shining, whirling about like nobodies business, i don't think that Bret Lee will cope.
ReplyDeleteGanesh, thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to the Essex whirler: yes, he is a beautiful man. Maybe the most beautiful man ever to live! But beauty will only get you so far! I suspect he lacks inner strength.
Fortified by playing alongside Ravi, I predict one (and only one) century in the series for him.
Why are you still here? This is cast iron! You should be on Betfair by now.
Who cares? I hate test cricket!
