Fos i have just pressed every button on my lap top and i am on,not sure though which buttom cleared the screen.Ok then whats going on, a great England performance to dig out a draw, one thing about this team over the last year,we don't appear to be playing the best cricket in series but we are winning,if we can just find a batting allrounder then happy days.Test cricket could be great over the next few years as it seem to me that there are about 5 or 6 teams with a just a cigi paper between them.As you can see all league fixtures are available,we should have the cherwell league cup draw by the weekend and the national cup in ten days.The home counties league looks interesting with 4 Herts teams in it so loads of miles for the boys.Will we be entered into the 20/20 cup again,i hope so as i might get another run in the firsts.Finally, all you Man Unt fans out there, you must have been so proud only losing to Leeds by the one goal,really well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see a pattern emerging with England. A the start of every series you tell me how the opposition's '90mph quicks' are much better than out medium pacers and we will struggle, then said quicks fail to bowl us out! Who needs pace when you've got a couple of wicket to wicket nibbelers, an old fashioned swing bowler and an orthodox offie!

As discussed with Meggers earlier, i believe all 3 of our quicks actually hit "90mph" so not sure what he is on about. And to say Broad doesnt do it, just doesnt stand up! Didnt his spell win us the 2nd test. Something the SA bowlers (No. 1 ranked in the world) could not produce.

Of course if we could unearth a young english Kallis who averages 60 with bat and bowls at 85 it would be good, but how many of them are there in the world!!
