Samit Patel called up to JAMODI squad . . .

. . . according to my sources.

He's a bit excited apparently n'all - as you would be.

Good lad!

Is this board your source?

No.

Not read the board since last night - just logged on.

Is your sauce as good as Seasiders

Ah right.

Different source from the same club!

More for his bowling probably. 17 wickets @ 13.

I've actually been dissapointed with his FC stuff this year. He's actually got one of the better techniques around - well worth a go in the JAMODI's where we aren't going anywhere fast.

More than useful spinner in the shorter form too

Timely 65 for Notts yesterday in the Pro40 . . . although it was only against Gloucs, so yeah . . . you're probably right, PJ.

Just after he slipped a couple of quid to the gruesome twosome Duckworth and Lewis.

I'm hoping my source gets back to me in time for the Test squad selection!!

Why is there no farkin 'to make the ODI squad' market on Betfair now I have this info? Grrrr...

When is it due to be named?

HE'S FAT!!! WE DON'T LIKE FATTIES. HE'S FAT. HOW WILL HE GO AFTER BEING OUT IN 120 DEGREE HEAT FOR 92 DAYS?????

FAT!!

Unlike some cum-swigging, double-standard-waving lemons, I have no problems for his selection - what's happening here is someone's being picked on the basis of his performances, regardless of appearance and what team he's playing for. Just how things in the non-gay cricketing world should go.

I'd have picked Davey Sales myself

Who do you think you are? Geoff Capes?

It's never going to happen. I wouldn't actually want it anyway, he's one of two batsmen Norths can rely on.

Whens this squad for the JAMODIS named then, do we know?

From BBC Sport :

England squad for Twenty20 and one-day internationals against South Africa:

Kevin Pietersen (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Samit Patel, Matt Prior, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Chris Tremlett, Luke Wright.

No room for the likes of Key, Denly, Napier, Foster, Malan or Murtagh... T20 finalists who all did well throughout the tournament!
Brave new order!

FFS

Did your source also say Notts. are trying to sign Ashwell Prince to fill the void left by Laxman (pending AP's selection or non-selection in SA's ODI squad)?

Bob is useless.

It always pays to read the other topic headers before posting.

**sighs, shoulders slump, literally nearly sobs**

So this team/squad - or an incredibly similar one, who should've lost 4-1 to NZ(3-1), lost to NZ again 3-1, who narrowly beat SL and Ind and who lost 2-1 to WI giving us a record of Played 25, won 10, lost 13 with 2 NRs is good enough?

Fair enough. I don't agree. But I'm not a selector. They do know best. Just check out how immense we've been in the last 2 years.

same shit different series.

toilet as usual.
