Spent Friday at The Oval watching England beat South Africa and when I say beat, I mean beat. I left at 5.00pm to drive up to Cambridge, as victory was so clearly in the bag. I was among those who were sceptical at the appointment of Kevin Pietersen as captain, as so often great individuals lack the temperament for leadership. I am delighted to have been proved wrong, and hope this new found England squad will move from strength to strength, and thrash the Indians (note all my Indian friends!), go on to humiliate the West Indians (note all my West Indian friends!), before returning to England to thrash the Australians...I have a feeling a a few comments are about to arrive on my desk. I'm ready for them!

I, for one, would be happy to see the English trash the Indians. These overpriced, consistently under performing morons need all the trashing they can get!
Mr Archer,
On a completely unrelated topic- I have just finished reading your book A Prisoner of Birth, I have to say being a fan to Alexander Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo since the age of 11, you book will remain a favourite for years to come. An excellent and well written story which had gripped right from the start. In fact I have just started reading it again!
Cannot wait for your next book.
Good evening Jeffrey! You have wished England thrash India! Let good luck prevail to your favorite team. But please understand, Jeffrey, that Indian team is made up of youngsters in the real sense of the term and not in the English sense. In your team a player can make debut only after ensuring that his head goes at least half-bald.I think there is an unwritten law that a man can start playing for England only and only if he had blown off atleast 36 candles!

If you ask me Lord A South Africa felt sorry for this time. No..jokes aside, well played England. I do hope they thrash the Aussies they need to be taught a thing or two.
Hello Jefrrey,
This young Indian team cannot be beaten by old englishmen and yr. dream might well be shattered.
Good Luck!
Ramesh
Forget that dream forever J.A that English team will ever trash Young Indian side.First let England players and board play the game within,and hope Kevin stills stays captain when they get read to be trashed by Indians.
