Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Here lies English cricket that died on 2005. That is how every cricket fan in this country should feel. Duncan Fletcher and Andrew Flintoff were the worse combination. England hasn't won a single competitive match in the series. Losing 5-0 is bitterly disappointing. In none of the matches our team was competitive. When a team performs like this, normally the coach/manager resign or are sacked.

Unfortunately that was last year, In the first test our team is on verge of defeat, it seems as our cricketers are not performing on circuit full of 50000 plus spectators. Harminson is a complete failure as a bowler. Pressure has destroyed his ability to ball straight. Batting is not good either, Strauss is throwing his wicket away and the ...
