At least I have foudn a fellow cricketing fan on here, there doesn't seem to be many more
Alec Stewart made a good point on 5 Live this morning, he was talking about the reaction of the press in OZ after the 2005 series, the press were after heads. Cricket Oz said No, the team and players are right, we'll stick with what we have. I hope (to some degree) we do the same.
Undoutedly there are players with real talent, Pieterson, who although slightly arrogant, is a class act. Fintoff, Bell etc need to perform. As we were saying a few posts back, we need Jones back quick, we now need to stick with Monty and get Vaughan back fighting fit to give Freddie a chance to bowl and bat as he should.
One last point again I think I heard this on SKY last night, The England lower order must develop there own batting style and stick to it. Whether or not that be a blocker or Slogger, we need runs or at least support from our lower order, let's get it sorted..... Bring on 2009.
Oh well, back to Sofia Gardens now and the underachieving Glamorgan
