The main thing is not building for the future - the future has already arrived - we need to try to win matches, right now. I reckon when the chips are really down, I'd rather have Ashley in the team than not - and believe me, the chips are really going to be down!

We need to graft Ashley's batting and dogged determination on to Monty's bowling, then we would have the ideal choice.

My forecast for the series is that we will get two draws out of them.

cheers, Terry
