Nah Tres is a busted flush I think. Shame as the openers failings in this series really emphasize what he brought to the team. Can't see any of the others playing again.
I still think Read could do a job at no.8, with Flintoff at 7 and Collingwood/Bell/Pietersen as the 5th bowler. You certainly can't fault Read's keeping.
The Ashes came home, now they're off to Convict Country once again
I wish I could agree with you, Rob. I don't think for one second Giles or Jones should play again, but then, I didn't think they should have played a part here, either.
I still miss Thorpe. I keep thinking he's still going to come back like that scene in the Sound of Music when Maria decides to come back. These are a few of my favourite things.....

Gerraway. You just want him for his steemy body and his litle boy look.
He was a prospect Rob, that's for sure. He's about 36 now, I think, but does martial arts and stuff. Still a fairly fit - and probably fearless - lad. But too old, in the opinion of those that count.

I agree...maybe Shah to replace Collingwood in the middle order.

Why? The boy got 400+ runs in the series and averages just under 50????

206 came in one innings, on a friendly pitch. I'm not a big Colly fan in terms of skill, but he has heart, which is someting a few can take note of.
