How remarkable is Englands change in fortunes in the cricket, i know it's only four ODI's and one test match but never the less it's still great to see a winning team at last. Not just the winning though but the manner of them, there seems to be a new energy and vibe about the whole team that hasn't been there for the last two to three years, also a much better balance to the whole team, which brings me to my main point of issue which is the selectors.
I know people will say that it's easy with hindsight but surely the art of being a selector involves a certain element of prediction, which is where i believe that the selectors got it badly wrong at the start of the South Africa Test series. Aside from the continued charmed life the batsmen have had for the last ten to fifteen test matches which is another story altogether (Pietersen excluded obviously) the decision to leave Flintoff out of the 1st Test was clearly the wrong one, looking at his fitness is the last three Tests show what great shape he has got himself in & some of the batsmen who faced him in the county match before the 1st Test stated at the time he was definitely ready to play, what difference could he have made in that South African 2nd innings where they lost only three wickets in two days?
Then we come to the Harmison debate, whatever your feelings whether you think he's had enough chances already or not, it's obvious that the side is better with him in it. It was pointless waiting til the last test of the whole summer to bring him back when the series was already gone, yet again i don't see this as being wise with hindsight but a selection failure, during the T20 spell midway through the county season all the reports where that his bowling was back somewhere near it's best and yet the selectors waited til the last test to bring him in. It was obvious after the 1st Test that the bowling wasn't going to get 20 south african wickets very easily and so it proved, he should have been brought back for the 2nd test or if not then definately the 3rd to give him the chance to influence the outcome of the series.
In my view the South Africans will depart these shores greatful to the selectors for not picking Flintoff for the 1st Test and leaving it til it was to late to bring Harmison back into the fold. He had served his sentence and done the hard labour at Durham and i can't help but think if we had picked our best team it would have been a different outcome to the series. Broad, Anderson, Sidebottom and Panesar are good honest bowlers but as a unit i believe that they lack that extra bit of firepower to get 20 wickets against the top class sides, it's ok playing the likes of New Zealand and the West Indies as you know somewhere along the line they will get themselves out.
So if we want to compete with the Aussies next summer my message to the selectors is "In future try picking our best team"

Ladbrokes Free Bet
To open a Ladbrokes account and claim a £50.00 free bet please click here.....
The Ladbrokes' free bet currently stands at £50.00 and is one of the straight forward free bets that I like. Simply open a Ladbrokes account and place your first bet, and Ladbrokes will then give you a free bet of the same value of your first bet.
There is none of this get a free bet if your first bet loses and roll it over 5 times before withdrawing it, which I am not too keen on (for Matched Betting purposes), this is a basic free bet where Ladbrokes give you a no catch free bet up to the same value of your first bet, whether that first bet wins, loses or draws
With the Ladbrokes Free Bet, if your first bet is for £20.00, you get a £20.00 free bet - if your first bet is for £50.00, you get a free bet of £50.00, and so on (£50.00 is the maximum).
If you wish to use this free bet for Matched Betting, it is an ideal bet for this, and you should be able to quite easily make a guaranteed £30.00 profit from it.
A couple of points to note, you have to enter a 'promo code' when you sign up - in this case it is FB50. Your qualifying (first) bet has to be placed on the day you open/register your account and must be placed at odds of evens (2.00) or greater, and your Ladbrokes free bet has to be placed within 7 days of receiving it, or it will expire.

Bet365 Free Bet
To open a Bet365 account, please click here.....
The Bet365 free bet currently stands at a market leading £200.00. These days it is a straight forward first deposit sign up bonus up to a maximum of £200.00.
What this means is that Bet365 will give you the same amount of your first deposit, ie, if you deposit £30.00, they will give you £30.00, if you deposit £70.00, they will give you £70.00, and so on.
As the maximum amount is £200.00, we will want to be depositing £200.00 to get our hands on the full amount, this would then give us a bet365 betting bank of £400.00.
The terms and conditions of the Bet365 free bet state that the whole amount (£400.00 in our case) has to be rolled over three times before it can be withdrawn. While this is a pain in the backside, it isn't the worst case scenario.
All we need to do is keep matching the bets up on Betfair. So basically if we back Manchester United to win on Bet365, we lay Manchester United on Betfair. That way we don't lose any of our money.
In an ideal world, Manchester United wouldn't win, which would mean our money would end up in our Betfair account, and meaning we could withdraw it immediately, should we wish.
To cash out the full Bet365 free bet amount you would need to keep following the same process as above until you have either rolled over the £400.00 three times, or the money has transferred into your betting exchange/Betfair account.
This process is called mathced betting, and in my view it is the best way of making guaranteed money from the online bookmakers' free bets.
