        There wasn't much choice plus Brearley would of struggled with the rabble we had to pick from after being battered at Adelaide.

          I wanted to clean the kitchen drain and so, fresh from an episode from 'How clean is Your House?' I dutifully emptied a cup of bicarb, salt and soda crystals down the plughole. It immediately set like concrete and hubby had to spend the night dismantling the U-bend and taking a chisel to the offending 'cleaner'.

                would <b>have</b> struggled

                  That depends on whether he meant "would've" now, doesn't it?

                    I love Freddy, but he is a crap England captain, and I've said so since he was first asked to do the job.

                    The rabble was a rabble because they all got up their own arseholes after winning the Ashes in 2005. They needed a good kicking to bring them down to planet earth, not put the biggest piss-head in charge!

                    The only series England have won since is against Pakistan, which is the only one that Freddy missed, so I rest my case.
