The second Test @ Old Trafford

[mrdrewten]

I expect England to take control against Pakistan at Old Trafford this week. Andrew Flintoff will of course be a big miss though..

You're right mate! His presence will be missed but England needs to stick to their guns!
Anything can happen in this Test Match series.

Monty should tweak it at the oval. Hoping for a 3-0 to set England up for the Ashes.

Sure Flintoff can be a match winner, but any Team should not revolve around one man..

The absense of Beckham did not make much difference to Englands Footballers.... I personally think if we adopted the American Football way of doing things, we could bring Beckham on for Free Kicks then send him off again. He has been a midfield donkey for too long!

It's a Team Game.. I agree there are certain Players that instill a good spirit and Moral, but there is always someone bigger and harder waiting round the corner.

If it had not have been for Tiger Woods, there would have been so many more good golfers who would have become great golfers.

Just like in Tennis, for too long the British Game has been in the doldrums with only a Muppet like Tim Henman as our Number one!! What a Joke!

And the same goes for Cricket.... I am lucky enough to be old enough to have seen and remembered 'Great' Players like Viv Richards, Ian Botham, but their respective Teams still went on to win without them.
