Top 3 imho would be India, South Africa and Australia. We are just an average Test side now. Not terible but not great. We beat worse teams than us and lose to better ones. Simple really. Fancy us to get tehe ashes back though, Australia are on a downward spiral.
Im pretty sure the last shootout we lost was brentford in the LDV (as it was then), in 2001ish. midweek, it was originally meant to be played at withers if my memory serves me correctly.
The only test match that has ever started on a wednesday IN england was the 3rd test against south africa last summer. I remember hearing it was a first in this country.
this is what i think
Personality:
1 Hammilton
2 Adlington
3 Hoy
Overseas:
50/50 call between Phelps and Bolt. Although Nadal might be in with a shout
Team:
The 3 nominations will be:
Welsh rugby Union team
Man United (like them or lothe them they did win the double)
And team GB Olyimpics...
3 at best. we will get nowt at oldham and tranmere. hope im wrong though! I just cant see where the next win is coming from. (possibly crewe in february as they are even shitter than us). Although having said that, im not sure why but I have a hunch that we might win at Shrewsbury in the jpt.
