the poms are a number 1 chalk..but not for long! 
the Oz have declined..maybe declining still. the Oz are no match for the english at this time...but the english are maybe about 4 in the real rankings behind Lanka and pakistan.
watching the english and the saffies play a better brand that the westindies at this time of course. but I dont like either side. but I do recognise they are better that we are. that shud be understood, taken for granted.
the westindies wont last long against these saffies but I do believe this westindies side is much better than what Gibbo and sammy get out of it.
in sync with itself, balanced, better led, comfortable, this westindies side will give a consistent account of itself against any side in the world.
but it is ridiculous for the saffies to make 637 for 2 against england man..in conditions in which england cant cross 400 one and 300 the second time.
enlnad is weak at 5 and 6 against good opposition. Bell and Bopara are bullies..period. Bell is a lil better than Bopara but not by much.
Braod is not a real opening strike bowler. england needs one such. and I consider Bresnan to be not much. using results agains Gibboos westindians is no way to judge a player. it would be better in my opinion iof england focused on Finn.
but its not really my business is it
