England are favourites, says Woolmer

I think the Andrew Strauss and the Marcus Trescothick opening partnership has been a particularly strong one. And of course, the one most important person is Michael Vaughan, who I think has captained brilliantly."

Can't really disagree with any of what he says, though hopefully he is a bit more positive in private, I am sure he knows its a bit early to start on the 'all doom and gloom' front. I still feel though that he needs to get on with his job and stop talking to the cameras; the best answer to any reporter's question for someone in his position is an enigmatic but firm "No comment".
