Oh, of course - now it makes sense...

Look who's out there pulling the strings...



Will England ever be rid of the useless c*nt?

Cut the cord, FFS.

Surely the King of Spain shouldn't be out in such a risky area.

Perhaps India are considering rolling out a national wheelie bin upgrade program.

Are there any pictures of Vaughan out there? That would really put the icing on the cake. A cake that is destined to be pounded into the dirt over 10 days.

Gilo must have something really special about him. Or some really big secret about key members of the team!

Clearly the latter. Impossible for it to be the former.

I like him.

I'd be a bit more bothered about that codpiece Fred seems to be wearing, and the shaft of heavenly light coming out the top of his scone.

Well, we all know he is better than Jesus.

Well, he gets crucified more often at least.

Not at walking on water he aint - with or without a pedalo...

How could he walk on water with holes in his feet?

Why is Mr. Giles wearing the new England kit? I didn't realise selectors were entitled to it. Will James Whitaker be popping up in full England regalia next?

Rachie, he might have gone to JJB and bought his own.

Have we ever had a more anonymous selector than Whittaker? Mind, you, he's got a lot to be quiet about being party to the selection of Darren Pattinson and Amjad Khan.

He's still "one of the lads".....

It really is quite amazing that the likes of Giles, Whittaker, Miller, and Moores are 4 of the most important men in English cricket right now, whilst the likes of Stewart, Atherton, Hussain, and Thorpe have been allowed to drift off to their respective commentary boxes.

'Amazing' is one word for it....

'Amazing' how the bigger names would want high-paying jobs in the media? Sure...

Well provided the ECB doesn't mind a bit of multiple hat wearing, they could do both.

Rachel your country is not South Africa you fickle so and so.

Speaking of the galaxy of stars in the commentary box- do you really think any of them would make good coaches? Stewart and Athers never showed any great talent for creating a winning team while captain. In Stewart's case he is mentoring Prior for what it's worth and Athers has got to be too aloof and well-adjusted for the job. Hussain would be a Roy Keane-sque figure- it wouldn't end happily. Thorpe should probably coaching England batsmen rather than Surrey batsmen mind you.

Bumble? oh wait...........

Well this is confusing. I look like a right schizo!

I would love a Roy Keane type scenario in cricket!

I think Nasser would be more of a Glenn Roeder type Coach......
