TRO Saracen Aug 2013 9:28am, 23 Aug 2013 7,846 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen I went to couple of tests in that series, LOL, I only remember Wood. The others must have been truly dire... F**king hilariously thick, that bloke Wood. We used to get him out by posting two people down to the boundary for the hook, send down a short ball and he'd hook it down their throat, every time.

However, it would say they just had a rash of batsmen/bowlers come along, Warne, Hayden Martyn, Waugh(s), McGrath, Langer, Jones, loads of them, it can happen again. That's why I think England have made amistake here, they should have picked 1 Debutant, and stuffed them......
