Iron Bell seems like a good name...

Carberry seems to be picking off singles at will.
Is he related to the Carberry that played in the test series?

They are on track to make 270 ...a perfect pomodi score

by horace Tue 14 Jan 2014, 05:29

true....tho I note the stoopid PM did not bother to pick many batsmen in his team...of course he thinks hodge and pommythumper will suffice

by horace Tue 14 Jan 2014, 06:52

Buttler seems capable with the bat - even tho he is an English Greg Dyer with the gloves

by furriner Tue 14 Jan 2014, 06:57

Ben Cutting's cricinfo pic - looks like a less old, less pale, slightly incredulous Alistair Cook.

Great tour.

Some of us are enjoying it

Oh, Root got a 14 ball single batting at three. Who could've predicted that? Aside from everyone ever.

I'm sure he showed a lot of character though, so that should keep England persisting with that particular nonsensical plan.

I guess that side makes too much sense for England. No point in playing anyone who played in the Ashes apart from Stokes and Broad.

That's for the first Test against Sri Lanka, presumably... worth a go!

welp, what a shitty PM's XI

by Red Tue 14 Jan 2014, 10:03

As suggested last night, maybe a bit of nepotism in selections.

by skully Tue 14 Jan 2014, 10:17

Wow, what a piss weak effort by the PM XI. Someone mentioned earlier that they were light on for bats. AO 92 would suggest about 7 batsmen light.

In your face selectors!

What the hell is the point of selecting Blee in a PM's XI?

by PeterCS Tue 14 Jan 2014, 19:26

To ensure Nicholaaas's interest?

To show the younguns how showponying is done?

by lardbucket Tue 14 Jan 2014, 20:21

Congratulations to England - what would otherwise have been a disastrous tour has been saved.

by G.Wood Tue 14 Jan 2014, 20:27

I really think that this results will mark the turning point in England's fortunes. They are clearly on an upward path

by PeterCS Tue 14 Jan 2014, 20:49

So was Charles I on 30 January 1649.

by Brass Monkey Tue 14 Jan 2014, 20:54

So was the Lindy Hop in 1926.

And Champagne King in 1982.

I agree with this statement...congrats to the Poms on a fine comprehensive win....

(memo to PM Mad Monk - when selecting a team it is useful to have more than 2 recognised specialist batsmen...yes I know the budget cutters demanded reductions, but functionality should be kept)
