"सबसे खतरनाक होता है मुर्दा शांति से भर जाना

ना होना तड़प का..सब सेहन कर जाना

घर से निकलना काम पर और काम से लौट कर घर आना

सबसे खतरनाक होता है हमारे सपनों का मर जाना "

Another list

Here comes another list and another load off my chest....

I think these guys should make to playing XI for the 1st Ashes test.

1) Andrew Strauss (capt),
2) Alastair Cook,
3) Jonathan Trott,
4) Kevin Pietersen,
5) Paul Collingwood,
6) Eoin Morgan,
7) Matt Prior,
8) Stuart Broad,
9) Graeme Swann,
10) James Anderson,
11) Steven Finn.

I know this was kind of no-brainer coz as many as 9 players select themselves. But still it was kind of tough to select between Morgan/Bell , and Finn/Tremlett.
