I heard some talk on the radio the other day but could not quite hear who was saying what, something along the lines of comparing the current England squad to the great aussie teams of the past and who would and would not make the cut, anybody hear anything about this.

Yup, him and Chappell gone.

A shame, I was enjoying the pantomime.

I wonder if someone can decide on a spinner now? Maybe bring Katich back ...

I think we'd be getting ahead of ourselves a bit there. I think this England team against the best Aussie line-up in form wouldn't stand much of a chance. Those Aussies were a different breed back then

What's the difference between a jet-engine and an Aussie cricketer? The jet engine stops whining when it lands.

What is the difference between Ricky Ponting and a funeral director? A funeral director doesn't keep losing the ashes.
