Should hecome home for the birth of his child? or should he lead his country to defeat?

What are your predictions India v England?
2 - 0 to the home side for me.

We'll lose to India anyway, so it's better that he sits at home on the sofa with his new born kid and his Golden Balls reputation intact. I'm sure they'll release yet another "England Win the Ashes" DVD to make us forget all about it and brain-wash the population into thinking we haven't played cricket since the Aussie's and we're still the 'best national cricket team' in the world.
Its up to him but he should stay.
Come on! A generation ago he wouldn't have even been allowed in at the birth anyway.
Plus he might still not miss the birth.
Anyway, we have more to worry about all the other injuries/drop-outs (Trescothick has rushed home, Vaughan injured, Pietersen possibly injured, S. Jones maybe out, Giles out).
The team that won the Ashes would stand a good chance in India - an inexperienced second string team will definitely struggle.
