this england team may still have a soft centre.
Bell is still suspect to me. so are Morgan and Bopara.
Battle tested players like Strauss and Pietersen are on the downslope. Cook and and Trott are not word beaters but immense grafters.
if england need to build totals quick enuff...or need to chase down runs set by the tufferteams....deh wont be able to do it. only Matt Prior has dat kind of flair and ability. Bopara has shots but he is a bully and dats why england persists with him. but Bopara can dominate weak test teams but not the better ones
Englands bowling is fine for the moment...and I want to stress moment. Tremlett is already on the sidelines and late twenties. Anderson is not getting any younger. swann is already on the wrong side of 30.
this england side has 3 years at max before those problems begin to come home in force

this england side is built to run up big scores on weakening/declining sides like Oz and India
a tuff batting side like RSA cud graft like them and put up 400+ scores. dat means a lot of draws and a drawn series for engalnd wud do the same. but if yu have couple , 3 attacking bowlers like the saffies do den we deh will see where green peas and barley grow
dat gayle team if deh seriously attack the england batting Strauss will go early most times. there wont be any big opening partnerships with Cook. Cook will be made to graft for hours on end with very little scoring
even if he makes a ton it will take him so long it will be a small ton dat holds the side together for less dan 300.
Pietersen wont be able to take dat bowling by the scruff and dominate it. he will have to graft at this stage of his career as well.
if dat gayle team forces england to play hard, tuff consistently, deh will give a lot of ground

I fuhget to add dat I wud have to improve Ballys team ah lil bit.
Dravid must be in there. he is the first batsman I wud pik not Kallis or Tendy. den the next one wud be Sangakara. den Yousef. Tendy and kallis later on.
de opening batting wud be between Gayle Sehwag and Smith..and as I doh like Smith It wud be Gayle and Sehwag, Dradid, Yousef, Sangakara, Tendy...
Dhoni doh have a chance on m side. dhoni is a flash in the pan. he is an awful keeper and he does not score well enuf to compensate.
the keeperwud be one of Taibu, Boucher or Haddin..tek yuh pik.
the bowling side is alright. no probs there

nah! sangy is ah great bastman. yuh doh want nutten disturb he concetration on killin england bowling.
he is the one to kerry england bowlin to the cemeteray after Gayle and Sehwag do deh ting.
yuh see...den dravid come in and set up a wall righ deh at 3. den sangy come and is more shots in deh tail. and if wickets manage to fall is youself in deh rass...more wall...upon which Tendy with he ole self can come in an mek he century of cenuries.
deh lucky I din prefer even more wall with Shive at #5.
but I will pick Taibu aas the keeper..a better batsman dan Boucher or Haddin while not losing on the keeping quality...with a lot of shots to go around. so he wud break the monotony of shive or youself at 5 and help Tendy along with the score
man dat front 7 will kill Tremlet, Broad, Anderson, Bresnan and Swan any part of the world deh play..even in england
