:stongue: :stongue: :stongue:
last time there were several things wrong with us
Fletcher was losing his battle to stay on as coach
He picked Jones over Read
He picked Giles over Panesar (after giles had been out for months)
Flintoff wasn't fully fit
No Vaughan & Simon Jones
and let's not forget Harmison's first ball.
Next time will be better, Moores isn't a great coach but the fundamentals of our side are better now, eg
Cook is more experienced as an opener
Pietersen as captain, extremely aggressive again
Flintoff is fit again
Harmison is bowling better
Panesar is great
Stuart Broad has potential with bat and ball
Should have a better wk than jones prior or Ambrose who's the latest to fail.
Simon Jones should be back to fitness
Young players coming through, Bopara, Shah & others with the bat
Stephen Davies or James Foster to keep wicket
Legspinner with huge all-round ability called Adil Rashid with nearly 1500 runs and 150 wickets in first class aged 20. May or may not get a chance by 2009 but if not 2011 for sure.
It should be a lot better anyway mate and we're due for a better english summer with 07 and 08 being absolute dog poor. Hoping to grab some tickets for the Edgbaston test match :) |
