I actually fancy England’s chances against New Zealand. KP is one of my favourites bat so I am hoping he does well in NZAlso when India gets there in 12 months time, I would actually like the 100 all out innings repeated. They were fun to watch.

Suave,Our Bell’s the reverse really. Extremely intense, he’s just come out of a 5 year period of having a front-on stance as in Chanderpaul.H’es the kind of batsman who talks to himself when the bowler’s running in.Simillar baby-face looks though. Probably still gets asked his age at the pub

Unle J,A real gem, when a germ could’ve done! The series will be played when the world sleeps – and that’s a pity, becoz this would be tooth and nail sans polish stuff – bare basic caveman cricket, very low standards but what enthusiasm! If the weather’s weird, we might have 2 day tests, T20 ODIs and a T20 even shorter than Feb 1st. That would be a first!

LB, Does your Bell look like the most techinically gifted player of his generation, before throwing it all away, by being a little dweeb, who gets Hulk Smashed?Ours does.

Miriam, Bopara wants to be Englands Sahin, and i want to be Natalie’s Boyfriend, i think i’m leading. Suave, thought you’d like that old bean. I figured as i was making up a word, i might as well use your brand of english as well.

Suave,Do not underestimate the factor of NZ pitches (although England should be better placed than most to handle that).England, on paper, have the edge in every area apart from spin-bowling, keeping and lower-order batting.It will be a good series. Watch the Bell v Bell battle.Boring batsmen, boring names, but whoever comes out on top is likely to come from the winning team.

“…places the ball down with a softness unknown to most big men” – genius. In fact the whole post is gold. There was a quite sweet interview with Rav the Chav in Wisden Cricketer a few months ago, where the heading was, I think, “I want to be England’s Tendulkar”. We want you to be England’s Tendulkar too, Ravi. Do it. Do it now. Do it.

Sex with evil dragons, for the win!Thanks for The England reference.. Well done old man…Interesting post, and I think we should win the test series relatively easily..If Hoggy swings the new red nut, then it’ll be a walk in the park. If not, then oopsODI’s are a different kettle of fish though. We’re shit in pyjamas.I actually shit in pyjamas.Alas, KP has succumbed to that typically english disease, of losing, and losing hard, therefore destroying everything you do for years after.

Pah! New Zealand will be white-washed. Then we will white-wash the South Africans. Then we will white-wash whoever we’re touring next winter. Then we will win back the Ashes in a white-wash. Then we will say the Ashes aren’t important to us. We will pretend that they’re not the only thing in cricket that matters to us. The ultimate come-back is about to begin. And Ravi Bopara is leading the way.
