 no longer acceptable from a batsman in the top five whatever his credential, potential or value elsewhere.

There is slight mitigation. Between making four in the first innings in Brisbane and 42 in the first at Adelaide, he sat through 180 overs with all but his pads on while others filled their boots and was then required to come in and force the scoring. In Perth he was not alone in finding the pace, bounce and particularly the swing too much. It would be perfectly in keeping for him to make a hundred in Sydney, for he must play there. And if his batting currently looks even more of a struggle than it generally does, then his electric catching is an essential part of the fielding dynamic. The catch he took in Perth to dismiss Ponting should not be underestimated for the psychological damage it did.

Clearly, though, there is another decision to be made. Collingwood, 34, remains an essential part of England's World Cup plans and is the captain – a successful one, too – of the Twenty20 side. There is much cricket for him yet to play for England. But the end of this series might be a fine time for a line to be drawn under his Test career. Whether he comes to that decision himself or is encouraged to do so, the time has probably come. Things have to move on. Identical Twin Diaries: Things I was unprepared for

I’ve never hidden the fact that despite been in my late twenties when I found out I was pregnant, I was totally unprepared for motherhood. Don’t get me wrong I love my girls so much and I wouldn’t change a thing but I enjoyed my baby-free lifestyle. Having only got married in the summer, myself and Jay were selfishly enjoying lazy Saturday mornings, eating out whenever we felt like it and planning holidays left, right and centre. I went shopping whenever I felt like it, booked myself random spa days and called in places to get my nails done. Having a family was something we both wanted but didn’t expect to happen for at least another year and having two at once was something neither of us could have ever imagined!

I wouldn’t say I was naive to the fact things were going to change when we found out we were having twins, I knew things were going to be different but I certainly didn’t prepare myself for certain things. So when Mothercare got in touch with me about their online help guides, this got me thinking about what I wish I
