| | Gooch on England's Ashes prospects |
 | | Every Britisher, that is, barring Graham Gooch -- former captain, holder of the record for most Test runs by an Englishman and, interestingly, a member of the squad that won the Ashes, way back in 1985. |
 | | Gooch, whose position as coach for young hopefuls gives him insight into the national side's progress, believes that though the team is on an upswing, its results are still like the curate's egg -- good in parts. |
 | | Another name Gooch has time for is that of the hard-hitting South African immigrant, Kevin Pietersen; he predicts Pietersen should make his Test debut during the Ashes series. |
