Let's win it

I think if I put think in a few days, I will be in a psychiatric unit. I honestly think that we will win the ashes 2009. Just as I said that, you could hear the whole of the cricketing world smirk. Seriously think about it they do not have a spinner he is more like Paul Harris. You might as well call him a slow medium pacer. With the whole of England on the back of England cheering us on to win back those ashes from the Aussies, which in time will just fade a way a bit like West Indies. I think yes it will be hard. If we have Harmison back to full strength and Flintoff. Simon Jones looks in fantastic form. Panesar well a little sketchy. If Vaughan come back to his form again like in his youth and Pietersen who knows what England could do to those smug Australians who think they will rule cricket forever. With no McGrath and Warne who is going to bowl us out. You could clearly see those two where needed badly to bowl us out in the 05 ashes. I think maybe all these crap performances will stop and become the fairytale we were looking for. Remember every thing has to end and the Australians and the reign on the ashes will die on the Monday 24th August 2009 at 6:30. These are the fixtures of the 2009 test series. Just look where the first test is going to be taking place:

South Africa In Charge of english cricket

Yes, South Africa are in charge of us in two ways they control us in test cricket and now they control us even by being the captain of England. English cricket is captained by a South African the one and only Kevin Pietersen. In all fairness, he does play for England. So why not give him a chance of being our captain. Well I do not really like the idea of Him being captain of the test team when we have Andrew Strauss in the side. We have seen he a good captain and his average went up while he was captain. So surly he is a good choice, but no, they had to give it to someone with no experience at all. Why wellI do not really know but I know one thing, for sure, he had better do a good job or he will go to hero to zero. Pressure Pietersen good you had better not drop your performances in with the bat.
