Welcome Back



Welcome back to MV. Lot of work to do lad so best get started. Win the Twenty20 on Tuesday and you will be forgiven for getting injured in the first place!

Boy, have we missed this guy? Just a little. I must confess to feeling sorry for Freddie; he will never get another chance again to lead the side and will go down in history as the worst captain for 80 years. Not sure if his morale is going to be good after he told everyone he wanted to continue as captain.

Interesting to see Boycott saying that we should have separate coaches for Test & ODI sides. He may have a point there. If there is to be changes, however, Boycott will be the last person that the ECB consult! And as to asking Warne to help us....forget it. It's time for some home-grown input into the team.

Vaughan's return is terrific, but I just fear seeing him crumpled on the turf clutching his knee. Let us pray.

Why does Feltcher keep betraying Flintoff. "Felthcer had doubts" is the headline this morning. Just a few weeks ago, Fletcher was reminding people that he did not pick the team on his own (hint, hint!). Very odd. I have more respect for Fletcher in this situation however. I suspect he knew that Flintoff would fail as Captain.

Warne would never formally betray his country by signing a contract with the ECB, but no harm in trying to harness his time in England over the next two seasons to full effect. I don't know why he likes England enough to keep playing here, but he does, so we shouldn't waste any opportunities.
