i dont think he will go, perhaps his father-in-law might want him to stay, or the injury could not be life-threateningand he may stay with a shirt saying 'get well soon' but me not knowing the seriousness of his injury, anything could happen..

I think most players would do better than Colli is at the mo.

After seeing how my 'Bell is very over rated' comment has backfired - I'm wary of writing any of the English players off, although I have to be honest and say that Colling-don't-touch-wood looked hopeless in the Multan test.

Many are now convinced he hasn't got what it takes to be successful at this level, including King of Bla Bla Bla talk aka Geoff Boycott (says that in his last telegraph column).

Although Paul, the man him self, says in his own column at the BBC, that "there isn't any doubt in my mind that I'm good enough to play test cricket".

With this whatever doubts there were about the rumor that Glenn "We'll win 5-0" McGrath and Paul "We'll win 3-0" Collingwood went to the same media management school, they were all removed.

Whether Colli will ever cut it out to play test crikcet, it certainly won't be in this series IMO.

a series which he though his team would white wash!

Sometimes players make very foolish comments. This was one of those occasions.

Yes it was, in fairness though McGrath did have something to brag for seen as Aus. were the no.1 team in the world.

He stil has more runs than KP has on this tour, and the same number of fifties as Bell, but there you go....

But in the test match he has given nothing. That is where it counts, KP gave a little more, but not much to be bothered about.
