Thank's for your kind remarks, this is my 10K post - I doubt I will change in the next 10K - Hmm how long has England been spelled OZ

I wouldnt say that NSW have nearly a test side, McGrath and Lee are the only two players in that side that will definatly play in the Ashes.

Warne (VIC)
Hussey (WA)
Ponting (TAS)
Hayden (QLD)
Langer (WA)
Gilchrist (WA)
Martyn (WA)
Johnson (QLD)

The English Fans keep mentioning things like the Dads Army at Brisbane... well i would liek to ask them... what level of caps does your new look team have??? in the ashes? with Tresco gone as well 5 players in this team have little or no Ashes experience... wonder what will happen to them in Brisbane.. when the Ageing side as you call it tightens their screws?

What ashes experience did the winning team last summer have.Not much.

Strauss,Bell,Pietersen,Flintoff and Jones had played a grand total of 0 ashes tests before Lords 2005 and Simon Jones was injured in his only match so that ruins your argument.The current side probably has more experience.

Mr Hutt you are making mischief when there is no need to.

[Mr Hutt]

awwww what mischief??

just a point i thought off thats all Mr Fair Englishman

the team you mentioned were playing at home man... not in Oz.
