Yeah, right on the money. The behaviour of some people on this forum with regard to the Ashes has just been ridiculous. After one test, England were going to get whitewashed and weren't competitive, and after another test and a half England are the best team in the world and Australia are a pack of overrated hacks. Just calm down for a minute and watch the games.tooextracool said:good god, the ashes isnt even over yet. i find it extremely annoying how certain people come up with such absurd conclusions after less than 2 test matches. after the 1st test, it was about flintoff being useless, after 2.5 tests we now already believe that england are the best test team in the world. get over it.
That's my team, except the selectors ruined it by inexplicably not picking Sangakarra in the squad of Test players. I had Sangakarra opening with the Wag and Kumble as the last bowler. Otherwise, I agree 100%honestbharani said:Actually, speaking of the super series, how many people think this side is good enough to compete with Australia..
Sehwag
Sachin
Dravid
Lara
Kallis
Flintoff
Sangakkara
Harmison
Akhtar
Murali
Kumble/Pollock/Vettori

Much ahead ?? Are you nuts ?zinzan12 said:Shane Bond should be in ahead of Aktar. IMO he's a much better bowler

I would more say Kallis for Tendulkar if he is not fit enough by the time the super series comes around & i hope that the selectors of this squad get Sangakkara in the test side dont see the sense in picking those two ahead of him, and now that Bond is back ppl are suggesting he should get into the squad, i would agree if he shows good signs in the coming months.FaaipDeOiad said:Pollock is much more likely to be picked than Akhtar anyway. Regardless of what the team should be, it will look something like:
Sehwag
Strauss/Smith
Dravid
Tendulkar
Lara
Flintoff
McCullum/Boucher
Pollock
Harmison
Kumble/Vettori
Murali
Aside from the three questionable positions, I'd be shocked if it was changed from that. Akhtar for Pollock and Kallis for Lara are also possibilities, but unlikely ones.
