Oh it seems an age from England winning the Ashes-since then they have been beaten 2-0 on their Pakistan tour.
On top of that they have been thrashed in the one dayers, even with players like Flintoff and Trescothick in the side.
Excuses will be made, but their can be no excuse for playing two spinners in a country that has always thrived on spin.
Had Jimmy Anderson or Plunkett been used in place of Udal, might have been a different outcome in the Tests.
Englands strength is Pace and has been the strong point , yet we played to Pakistans strength by playing Udal, and an injured Giles.

Winter Worries and decide if we can beat India or not, or even Pakistan in England.
Anyone think this is just a blip in Englands fortunes?, or is there a fundimental fault with the England squad?.
