I have a nagging doubt Thorpe doesn't want to play because of what rthis series will do for his average. Tudor refuses to listen to the England team physio's advice on how to cure his long term back niggle and Vaughan, good batsman that he is, is also unfit.
Its not as if England are rubbish-four series wins on the trot, but we're not very good at batting. Something Gillespie, McGrath, Warne and Lee have exploited well.
Our recent exploits have been built round our bowling attack and what happens when the Ashes start? White and Cork lose form while our batsmen still cant score runs..
I have to say you deserve the Ashes and you're the best test team I've ever seen play in all my 27 years.... the only consolation is a lot of the Australian team is the wrong side of 30.
