A match-winning spinner and better batting

It is the time of year when people start to reflect on the last 12 months, and what a time it has been for England. Winning in South Africa, regaining the Ashes, getting stuffed in Pakistan (Ok, so not everything went to plan). Geoff Boycott gives his take on England's 2005, and says for the team to make the next step they need a quality spinner plus more application with the bat.

If I could have one Christmas present, it would be a magic, match-winning spinner for England. But my New Year's wish is to see the same batting order producing better batting in 2006.
