Obviously this is mainly due to the press, but I'd hate to see cricketers all going the same way as the premier football stars.

Maclennane Aug 2009 8:49pm, 24 Aug 2009 12,877 posts	0 Maclennane It all looks fragile to me (but I'd have dropped Broad, what do I know?) Batting has consistently misfired and the bowling's patchy. All great sides are built around a consistently dangerous performer - and who in the setup would you bet your shirt on? Strauss at a push?
