ENGLAND BOUNCE RIGHT BACK ............

to lose yet again !!

Following their catastrophic performance in the Test series, England's cricketers have now lost their latest match, a 20-20 fixture, to the Australians. But then, what more could we have expected ? A recalled captain who hasn't played seriously for over a year and a raft of others who wouldn't have made it to most county teams of a few years ago. Wakey, wakey England Cricket Board; our boys simply aren't up to it, and won't be until we make them play a bit more and make their lives a bit less comfortable. Playing for your country is a privilege you earn, not a right, and our players need to be reminded of this. Sack the coach, drop the lot of them and start again is what I say; make those who have failed so abysmally work for a recall, if they really are good enough.

I don't often agree with Geoffrey Boycott, but on this subject he is more right than wrong.
