England lost big time in the Ashes today with English Captain being the first captain in 81 years to be routed 5-0 in the Ashes.

Hahaha Lemoney - I would buy for all-rounder, a wishful thinking it is! We do need a captain who lead the team. How about Camo as our captain? Any other suggestions?

Loote Sir - That could be problematic for you. You mingt want to spare yourself. ;-)

Sndy - How about giving you the position of an opening batsman and slip position when the opponnentteamn is on the field? You say what Lemoney?

Wicket keeper sounds good to me flips..

Alrighty, so we have our wicket-keeper in hand. Are you gonna appeal the same way Mongia used to do sndy? Aaiga! LOL This surely is gonna be fun, I tell you!

OK.. now this is fun!
Sndy.. good to learn that you are interested in the position ;) so we have our batsperson and wicketkeeper :D

Flips! Camo's name sounds good for the position of the captain. How would you like to open for us and do some serious bowling :D ?

Ya I'm gonna say Aaiga !!! I loved that...miss all those days :)

Lemoney - I would not want bowlers like Loote sir who would pretend to scare the hell out of batsmen without any success! How about someone who would silently does the magic, without praising themselves. You know what I mean. :-)

Well Australia is the best team in the world right now. I don't think anyone even comes close to their depth chart, even with English county cricket getting so much publicity they don't have the system in place like Australia does. The growing number of foreign players playing county cricket keeps the local players away. This can be seen in the English premier league too. Given, in soccer most of the world-class clubs with money have international player but the number of international players playing in England is quite high. No wonder they always choke when it’s time to shine. I don't think its lack of talent but the way the talent is molded and the selection to. Leaving out 2 key bowlers like monty and mahmood was a mistake in the first couple of matches. They just weren’t prepared for the Australians and like everyone is saying them going back to England for 10 days for R and R was stupid. The mind set was we beat em last year we can do it again. As they say the wounded tiger is more dangerous I guess that is true.

Regarding the outcome of the ashes I would like to say that both the teams deserve this result. Aussies were waiting for the ashes from the day they lost last time. And English were celebrating too much. I agree it was a big achievement for English but they just became overconfident after that. On top of that their preparation was below par this time. Plus the team selection from the first test itself was not good. And none of the english player could fight aussies except for Peterson to some extent. On the other hand Aussies were brilliant as usual. But it will be interesting to the next Aussie line up for test matches. Cant wait for that.
