Rapid break-up? Caused by injuries,nothing more.BoyBrumby said:Pretty much agree with all of that. There does seem to be something in the English sporting make-up that means we're better at building towards great one-off achievements (see also Union World Cup) rather than sustained excellence over a long period. On the face of it there doesn't seem to be a great deal in common with the two teams: Woodward's England were ageing & certainly on the way down by the time we triumphed; Fletcher's looked to be a (comparatively) young team with more mileage in it. However both great triumphs have seen the rapid break up of the two respective teams.
This winter has been a terrific one for England, we may not have won anything, but it has shown us that we do have players capable of competeing in test matches and it will give the selectors a few head-aches.
I do not believe that the injuries are anything to worry about, Jones will come back fine(and probably get injured again but meh) Trescothick will get over his personal problems, Vaughan will get a prosthetic leg and return better than ever and Gilo..well...we have Panesar,he's alright...
