Back to back Ashes next year too. Can't wait.

Just in case anyone missed it;

BBC Sport - India v England: Jonathan Trott & Ian Bell lead England to series win

Not bad at all.

Would he have been if Nadal was playing though?

Who knows and who cares?

Well he has beaten Nadal 5 times on hard court, so it was more than likely. What's your next pointless argument, "If Sampras was 10 years younger...". You are a cretin of the highest order.

Jess Ennis was only the fittest bird at the ceremony because Federica Pellegrini wasn't invited.

This reminds me of that "Contador is the class of this field" comment from someone about the Tour de France, when Contador wasn't even in the field.

That bloke who didn't turn up would have won.



That would make me the greatest tennis player in history even though I can't even hold a tennis bat properly.

Right result. Shame that Murray would have been have been a shoe-in most other years.

Like this year's Wimbledon finalists?

How is this relevant?

Sport's pretty simple; you train, prepare, turn up for competition and if you beat the other people that turn up then you've won. Speculation and armchair hypotheses are of no consequence whatsoever.

But he only had limited success which was mainly due to Rafael Nadal being injured all season.

In all honesty, despite all his triumphs this year,

Maybe if Murray was English he'd have a greater chance

Whatever makes you say that?



In all honesty, despite all his triumphs this year, I'd still have given Wiggins the edge, mainly for the TdF win.
