[QUOTE="woodie, post: 3691"] England's test side have been arguably the best in the world over the last 12 months. THe Ashes will obviously be the true measure of our strength, but we have been undeniably consistent and effective. The ODI side have not had much success, lost nearly every match in the Natwest Series, Vaughan couldn't score and Key, Blackwell and oters were useless in the field. A couple of good matches vs India and the Australia game show what we are capable of, a top 7 all capable of big scores and a solid bowling attack with good fielding. To be honest, the ICC Champions Trophy would be nice if we could win it, just as a reward for the success of 2004. But in comparison to the Ashes it's peanuts. ____ On another point, the crowds. It's not that people are at work or whatever, you get sellouts on the Fridays of test matches regularly, its just that it's been low profile and the Hero Honda signs make it look like Asia so anyone casually watching on the tele will probably think its being held in India!
