England v West Indies 1st Test

[Pavilionaire]

Whilst England should have enough ability to wrap up this series fairly comfortably the Aussies will look at today's side and lick their lips.

Graham Onions has been around for a long time and if he was so good how come the likes of Saj Mahmood, Plunkett, Pattinson, Jon Lewis and Tremlett to name but a few have all got the nod ahead of him?

50 for Bopara

Well done but he should have been in the squad yonks ago, but the selectors dropped him after getting a century against the windies for shah who wasnt on form.

What does everyone think on the ashes?
5-0 Aussies?
Or 3-0 with 2 being rained off with england being hammered

4 more to Prior marks 1000 runs in test cricket!

Eng 179/4

It's difficult to see how England can win the Ashes because of the bowling department.

Given Flintoff's injuries I can't see him being the impact bowler of 2005. After him we're severely lacking in experience, and I don't see Bresnan or Onions as the answer.

Where do I go for highlights this year ?, and will BBC or Channel 4 ever get live coverage back ?

Currently have the usual Radio 4 LW on but not really taking it all in to be honest.

Did Aggers just say "Now here's a man who knows about bananas.....Ian Bishop"?

Did Ian Bishop just say "Stuart Broad!....I love his length!"?

Cheers. Just wondered if it had changed this year.

Thanks.

Giving live rights to sky was the worst thing the ECB ever did IMHO. Lost a whole heap of youngsters that they could have won over off the back of that memorable ashes victory.

A Sussex man who does the tour of Lords said exactly the same thing too.
