Scanning the county scorecards won't be the same again after a generation of England cricketers ducked out of the game "If you're hanging on to a rising balloon, you're presented with a difficult decision – let go before it's too late or hang on and keep getting higher, posing the question: how long can you keep a grip on the rope?" Andy Caddick is a tall man. It's no surprise he managed...

Has Brett Lee played his last Test Match for Australia? That would be the question the 76 Test veteran would be wondering. He last played a Test match against South Africa and hasn’t been able to make his way into the side.The good cricket betting is that that’s that for Lee. He was meant to be the spearhead following the retirement of Glenn McGrath and this was how things worked in 2008....

While we all speculate about who will be picked for the forthcoming Ashes teams, I wonder how many, if any, would hold their own against the best players of the past generation. It set me thinking who would make the XI for each country based on Test cricket in the last 30 years, so naturally I had to share my thoughts here.... It's particularly hard to select an Australian team. So many great players,...

You gotta feel for Binger. For years, he played bridesmaid to Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne, unable to force his way into the side. When the two ageing champions finally retired, Bing assumed his position as Australian spearhead. An injury, illness and marriage break up later, Bing is back on the outer, wistfully watching and waiting for another opportunity. He would've played at Cardiff but got injured....

The stage is all set for Andrew Flintoff to bow out of Test cricket as an Ashes hero in the fifth and final test There are no fairytales in sport," Steve Waugh said. He is probably right. But this week Andrew Flintoff will be doing all he can to prove him wrong. We are in Tom Tully territory.

• Broad may miss out if Andrew Flintoff passed fit • Plans to model himself on Glenn McGrath to secure Test place Stuart Broad has taken six wickets in three Ashes Tests but a cricketer reveals himself on the pitch as much as in the scorebook.

The lack of snarl and bite in the current Australian team makes one remember the grizzled campaigners of old These Australians are way too nice for their own good. With the exception of their muzzled captain, Ricky Ponting, a rehabilitated larrikin of the old school, and possibly Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus, who are not yet fully house-trained, they are seriously lacking in the essential ingredient...

According to Cricinfo, we have entered the Shane Watson era . Historians are undecided whether it will rival the Roman Empire or the reign of Constantinople but are quietly confident. As for the Australians, Ricky Ponting is already mentally rehearsing his Ashes victory speech. Not only do we have our aura back, it's more buff and rippling than ever. The selectors are high fiving whenever they pass...
