The rot that saw us slump to fifth in the world rankings

lose series left right and centre, pedalogate, Moores and Pietersen fall-out, the utter humiliation in Australia (our worst performance there EVER) - all sorts of s**t.

We were rotten throughout and Flower/Strauss completely turned it around with pretty much an entirely different team to the 05 lot.

        His record was good for us, can't be many who've scored more than a goal every other game. (n/m) (General Chat) - Vivid Data Shark, Oct 19, 14:43:58
