Delivery day for talented Phillips 1:53pm on 21 Aug 2008 Whoah...

I am a big fan of your achievements Jonathan, but seriously, lets hope he doesn't read this pre competition!!

You may as well tell him he is jumping into quicksand too!!
Graham Gooch's England ratings 9:00pm on 11 Aug 2008 Graham...seriously??

you appear to reward underachievement?

Strauss is not keeping shots in his locker...he has been worked out and cannot change that. The shots stay in the changing room...so should he!

Bell and Broad? What was their job at the start of the series? Bell overachieved in one match and underachieved in all of the others. Broad on the other hand took as many wickets as can be expected for a young 'bowler' developing in the game and scored many more runs than expected. No one saw that coming, whatever sage chip off the old block comments appear. Looking at this, he effectively overachieved in relation to expectation at the start of the series....Yet the scores do not in any way reflect this??

For years people have castigated Anderson for his lack of consistency...so for the first time, after showing good signs against poorer opposition in New Zealand, he steps up and shows consistency, variation and acceptance of responsibility (as well as some valuable effort with the bat)....great...lets give him a 7!! For improving and in all areas, overachieving.

Vaughan...please!!!

The rest I would say are closer to the mark...but how can we ever demand accountability within the Englan team, when we misconstrue achievement and failure so spectacularly?
