Nonsense. As is this Queensland commando camp, and the bilge coming out of the mouths of Buchanan and Ponting at the moment. If they think that to beat England they just need to get mentally and physically tougher, talk about how determined they are, and bully Monty a bit then Buchanan really is the flat track bully of international coaching.

England won the Ashes because they got their heads straight, merely as the introduction. More importantly they out-thought Australia on the field and over the lap top, and then executed it.

The Fletcher brain is still there. England players like Collingwood, Bell and Mahmood have demonstrated how they handle pressure - so it looks like we can expect England to turn up. And the assumption that Panesar will crumble and start crying when the crowds get on him is utterly naive. He looks clumsy - but his temperament is anything but.

Can we assume that Gilchrist has worked out how to play Flintoff from round the wicket, Hayden has stopped falling over his front pad to a Hoggard in-swinger, and Ponting and Buchanan have become more creative, and worked on their plan A/B/C and Ds to dismiss England batsmen? A bit of sledging and sticking a chest out didn’t really work last time. Being hurt and angry sounds like more of the same. And they’re older.

Seeing the beautiful Sydney harbour and those prime chunks of australian manhood, all coiffed and spruce in their fineries, tears me up just a little; for it is once again England i shall support this year, and yet dear friends i love my adopted home……. please spare a thought for the tortured and torn as you bay for each others blood this southern summer!

And remember this my fellow Australian Nationals if there weren’t so many wankers in the Australian team, you may be able to count on a little more support.
