Tempting fate here , but I think we will do well in the Ashes , seems to me England have NEVER taken the limited over game to seriously , I mean they can play very well , but aren't to fussed if they lose , just my opinion though .

Hopefully I hate Warne's face when he's running us down. (even worse now he has surgery)
 
That's the amazing thing about Warne. You can't help the face you are born with, but hard to think you would have surgery to look like that. I hate men with overpruned eyebrows...a bit of tidying, okay...but looking like they've been painted in is just plain wrong.
 
Trott is going to have to bat through now and hope Morgan and Buttler smash it everywhere. England really need Pietersen back in the side fast and need to get to the gym even faster.
 
I'm not a big Pietersen fan (due more to his personality than cricketing exploits), but his absence has thrown the balance of both our Test and ODI batting line-ups. But we've never settled as an ODI side really and I don't think this has much bearing on the Ashes, remember last time in Oz we dominated the Aussies in the tests and then lost 6-1 in the ODIs.

I think first things first we need to sort out the bowlers, Woakes and Dernbach seem bang average at best to me and Bresnan is alright as a fourth seamer who bats a bit but he doesn't threaten enough to be our second bowler. Personally I'd like us to give Tremlett a go in the CT to see how he's recovering and shaping up for the Ashes.

Agreed about Pietersen his attitude pisses me off big time.

Hopefully Broad and Finn recover. England might also be better off playing two frontline spinners in the CT.
