IDLC Collective made redundant by Australian implosion

Right. England are the underdogs in this series. Injuries, unsettled team, lots of novices and a Captain who seems to have every job in the team including drinks boy, music co-ordinator, psychologist and dietician.

So why are the Australians imploding?

We've gone on about the Shane Warne - Tash Buchanan split many times before. But in the past week they seem to have gone into overdrive. First former Test Legend, Greg Ritchie gets stuck into Buchanan and Ricky 'Sleeping Beauty' Ponting, calling them "Abbott and Costello", predicting an England Ashes victory and saying "The England bowlers have our measure."

Then McGrath goes loopy again and predicts 5-0. Now its all very well trying to psych out your opponents, but its got to be credible and after he looked such an idiot when he said that last time, you thought he'd be a bit more moderate in this series... its what politicians call managing expectations, Glenn.

Now, Kim Hughes, another former Test Legend, has said Warne is doing the English team's work, should never be captain and is lucky to stay in the team.

The IDLC Collective was established to undermine Australian confidence and nibble away at their impressive team unity of the past. It looks like they are making us redundant.

Thanks guys.
