Spot on and I think Capello has the same idea!!!!
England cannot replace Rooney 12:29pm on 14 Oct 2009 @171 - my main arguement is picking one person above the rest (maybe high profile rather than flair would have been better.

Yes Joe Cole over Rooney, I'm not saying play him as a striker, but as a player who could make Engalnd play better!

Play him on the left if you have to, but if you played him behind the front 2 (any in the England Squad would do)you opem up all of your attacking options; Balls out wide, intricate runs, passes through the centre etc, etc.

Yes I'd like Rooney to play, but if it was a choice of the 2 Cole would come first!
England cannot replace Rooney 11:42am on 14 Oct 2009 Rooney does not a team make! Nor does Gerrard.

I's rather we ahd a team theat worked togtehr and played to a plan (a good plan that is) than a "world class" flair player.

Germany and Italy seem to have won the WC with good teams rather than flair players - that we'll do me.

I'd rather have a fit Joe Cole and a more choice in defence/goalkeeper than Rooney
How England can win the Ashes 4:59pm on 10 Aug 2009 Sorry but where do people think Key canmake it at Test level when he hardly sets the world alight at division 2 level. He has a career average of only 41 and this season 50! Hardly gives one confidence that he is the new messiah of the English Middle Order.

May be he just gets board of the tosh thats bowled to him in Div 2 or he loses concentration as he dreams of better things (eg lunch), why do people think he will make it at test level when he is just slightly better than average in Div 2!

If he has "got the temprament and technique" he should be averaging much higher!

Explanations please!
How England can win the Ashes 3:45pm on 10 Aug 2009 Has anyone asked Ramps if he wants to play? He's been badly managed by the selectors before and I wouldn't be suprised if he refused.

I'd rather keep the squad as it is than bring in a selection that smacks of desperation. No not Key.

RE selecting to bat for the last test. I think that was a toss you would have wanted to lose!
Ponting left laughing as England get the script wrong 10:00am on 10 Aug 2009 Hackerjack- that is totally right - unfortunately the people being selected are the best players in county cricket. The county game no longer produces players capable of playing test cricket at a high level.

The average bowlers make their figures look good by bowling to poor batsmen and the average batters do the same with the poor bowlers.

But the format won't change because the people in charge will loose out.
Second Ashes Test - player ratings 3:37pm on 20 Jul 2009 Fletchcrik - I don't think gmp was being serious...if he was god help him!
Second Ashes Test - player ratings 3:21pm on 20 Jul 2009 Daveh we won, so he was right!

If they had followed on they might have won, who knows!
Second Ashes Test - player ratings 3:10pm on 20 Jul 2009 If Freddy is fit they won't change the side, so Bopara and Broad are safe!
Second Ashes Test - player ratings 2:51pm on 20 Jul 2009 Sorry you can't just gice a 10 because it is Freddy - Good spells of 10 proportion, but not although the game. A Fine Nine!
