What's the deal with England?

We did well against SA' date=' a far superior team so should have a good series. The 4-0 days are over.[/quote'] we also failed to beat nz

In NZ, it was fielding alone that cost us both the game. Could have cruised to a 2-0 victory.

Yeah but not a whitewash. Competed hard in both series. In the 8-0 days we were completely outclassed. Like Oz losing 0-4 in India. SA/NZ we competed hard in all the matches but just couldn't get over the line, like Oz in England Ashes 0-3.

btw if i had to predict a side it would be Cook Robson Root Bell James Taylor/Ballance Jos Butler Ben Stokes Broad Borthwick Graeme Onions Anderson with Bresnan, Bairstow and Morgan making the squad.

this team is enough to beat us although it wont be a white wash and we may even win a game.we are still clinging to grandpa zak and afraid of giving others a go.

Why is nobody picking Carberry ?

^ old... they want to rebuild with youth. Same reason Prior might have against him. @cowboy I agree. Dhoni needs to be aggressive. In his selections and his tactics. It means selecting a leggie Mishra. English players have traditionally been weak v leg spin. Also picking Umesh for his pace. We will know a lot based on his this lot take on Sri Lanka.

Man zak& pisshant are going to screw us big time.

[Gollum]

With this bowling attack we have no chance of winning any test. Our batting is too good to fold meekly. Expect 2-0 in favour of Poms which sucks because they have dominated us in the last 3 years.

We have the longest tail intest cricket beginning after rahane. Even if we are 320/4 we'll be all out <350 .
