I sincerely hope not Jay,

Especially NZ getting a draw in England, they've only got about 3 reasonable standard players (Flem, Oram, Vettori, maybe McCullum at a push) and their seam bowling (O'Brien, Martin, Mills) now Bond is leaving is dire. Hoggard, SiBo & Anderson is a much stronger attack (if still not amazing)

Mudge to spend 365 days looking for anti-Aus articles to say "ho ho, look at this".

Dello wrote:My 2008 predictions that probably won't come true but I'll keep my fingers crossed anyhow:

Adil Rashid makes the step-up from promising leg-spinning all-rounder to Test match sex machine.

Chris "100% Barbadian" Jordan decides that he's English enough to throw his hat in with the honkies.

Owais Shah gets two Tests in a row.

Sajid Mahmood flips a switch in his head and suddenly starts combining pace and late swing with something bordering on accuracy.

Someone - anyone - takes charge of the England wicket-keeping position by scoring a few runs and catching the majority of what comes their way.

Andrew Flintoff's ankle is miraculously cured and he's able to resume his career.

Strausser gets his groove back.

Michael Vaughan, Paul Collingwood and Peter Moores run out of "positives" to list for England's losing performances and start getting real by accepting that they're a declining force who need their problems addressed rather than papered over with inane platitudes.

Graveney fooks off back to his tanning salon, never to be seen again.

Some winners in there.

Did we 'ave a 2009 predictions thread?

by Dello on Wed 11 Feb 2009, 06:56

Didn't bother as 2009 will obviously herald the end of the world.

Good times.

My 2009 predictions. England will score over 500 in a first innings.
