mate i dont think Hosk meant any ill, i saw it as praise for your comments being very honest, but i think you have now got yourself all worked up about something that i dont understand...

anyways even if you disagree please be polite..some of these guys here do a great job and dont deserve this.

You got some sort of issues? I wasn't offensive to England. Yet you are taking petty swipes at my country. Ask a doctor to up your medication

Sarcasm doesn't work well on a computer screen, but point taken.

Top 4 ODI sides are Australia, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa. The top tier. Sides below like Pakistan, West Indies, England and New Zealand are second tier.

Fun summer? Most certainly. Steyn, The Pro, Morne and de Lange gonna be ruthless.

what and Finn, Broad, Anderson and Swann wont be?! If only it was a four test series...

After a poor Test series? After being moved up the order in the OD team? Having to silence the critics or be dropped?
Nah, no pressure at all! 

Two different forms of cricket vin the Tests he came in men around the bat. Misbah lacked the bottle to set similar fields in the ODIs, so Pietersen didn't look as vulnerable.

which is exactly what simon hughes said in his article which you slated.
and KP was under pressure for his career - a story within a story.

you are certainly living up to your name...

Steyn is light years ahead of any seamer England had. 263 wickets @ 23.

The only thing that is superior about England's attack is the spinner. We got Tahir That being said, Kallis and Amla are amazing against spin.

We will see what Pietersen does in the next 3 ODI series he plays in. West Indies, whilst poor with the bat, have real pace with Roach, Edwards, Russell etc and top class spin with Bishoo and Narine.

Australia have a gun bowling attack. And last but not least South Africa. No love lost there.

stats wise yes and he is a tremendous player, but our bowling is much better than when we scraped a draw in SA last time and our batting line up is much more secure.

I can't believe you didn't mention AB who is the best player (of spin especially) in your team. All three are right handed to which will hurt Swann.
But our batsmen are all much better against pace and bounce than anything else... as I say it should be an immense battle this summer

Amala had a nightmare against Swann. Get the rewind button out on the last test series. Steyn is quicker version of Anderson but I don't think their is much between the attacks. England are a better team than 2008 though. Shame they've butchered the test series for endless ODI's.

The Indians were cocky coming over to play in england last summer, and look what happened .... just sayin'

Very true about AB, and he's my favourite player, just Kallis and Amla came into my head first.

I'd say we are better now than 2007-08. Steyn missed a Test and played unfit in another. Philander is perfect for English conditions. Morne is currently the third seamer, but don't be to surprised if Marchant gets a gig

I was very disappointed about only 3 Tests.

Alma has since improved a lot, he dismantled that clown Harbhajan!

I wouldn't say I'm being cocky. Just we have more than one fast bowler who can take wickets! Unlike India and Khan !!!
