Well a clean sweep of the ODI's and T20's is a good but a somewhat tame start! Kieswetter is a highlight thus far but a controversial one at the same time. The thought of anymore not british born players playing for England is starting to gather a negative momentous chain of criticism for fans and broadcasters. But lets face it, not many England openers get ODI hundreds these days so lets just be thankful he wears the England colours. Another highlight has to be the brilliance that is Eoin Morgan, his inventive use of paddle sweeps and explosive on side flicks and cross batted swipes has given England a vital fear factor in the middle order, the first fear factor since the demise of Freddie Flintoff's middle order bludgeoning!
Look onto the test series, Jonathan Trott has put his name in the side with a timely century in the current warm up but in my opinion a massive question mark still hangs over his head.
Michael Carberry will be looking to put a shout out to the selctors in this series and it will be very interesting to see what the selctors do in the summer if Carberry does perform well!
This series could be the perfect time to try Luke Wright out at 7 and maybe give one of plunkett or bresnan a go as well!
Anything less than a clean sweep and fans will be disappointed but at least we are starting to get a cutting edge about our cricket now, not performing well and still winning is key to becoming the best team in the world!
