Is this trip of his to Sri Lanka going to happen or not!?
Doesn't look like it. I think it's a big missed opportunity, and I can't understand what the club were playing at. You don't ask for thousands of pounds for the privilege of having a Test cricketer on your team!
our fans treat every series with the same respect
It's the Test/ODI balance that's wearying me, not the opposition; and I dislike the BCCI, but that doesn't extend to the players. I'd love to see a five-Test series against India, but I can't see it ever happening even in England. (I believe we are getting five against SA next time, which is great news.)
Having said that, partly guilty as charged: there's no way I'd swap an Ashes win for one against India, even if the latter series was five Tests long. After all, I doubt many Liverpool supporters really care about beating Portsmouth as much as they care about beating Man Utd!
