England Whitewash India to Become The No.1 Test Side

I know I have not been blogging of anything much apart from my Uni work recently, but that isn't to say that I havn't been watching and listening to our glorious cricket team demolish India to become the best test team in the world.  England have been dominant in all departments, bowling, batting and fielding and the previously powerful and talented Indian team have look tired and weak in comparison.

Andrew Strauss's team really have become something quite astonishing, and now we are on top the team will have to work equally hard to keep this position, India will want to return to the top of the world and Australia are always hungry for victory.  At least until the next round of tests though....

My Captain, My Captain, My Captain

Well, I am sure it all makes perfect sense to someone at the ECB, just not to me.  I can almost see the diea behind having different test and short form captains, but splitting the ODI and T20 jobs just seems that england have been forced to accomodate Broad's enormous ego.  Strauss and Cook are both calm, collected leaders of men, Broad has shown that he easily allows his temper to get the better of his judgement and will have to grow up if he is to extend his captaincy into other formats in the future.
