What does Shah need to do?

Bell in line for Test despite Shah's surge

Shag Giles?

Slip some cyanide into Bell's rice crispies.

Shah's tried everything, including scratching Bell eyes out...

Shah needs to have some of that skin bleach that Indians are so fond of, whack a stack of it on, die his hair ginger, look like a little shitbag mouse when at the crease and get out for a meagre score.

That should help.

Owais should come out with the "Iz it coz I iz black?" argument. He'll be in the team quick smart....

He'll be thrown back to the 90's if he did that.

It's because the English are racist imperialists bent on world destruction on the 12th day of the 12 month on the the 12 th year. Or something like that, ask buckaroo.

Score as few runs as possible whilst looking as aesthetically pleasing and gutless as possible whilst also offering an unrivalled escort service providing high-class fellatio and anal sex. Must swallow.

*shudders*

if it has anything to do with Pakistan then it has absouletely nothing to do with test cricket....

thats how things have been for the last 14 months.

I told everyone this yesterday. This "journalist" has just repeated my conclusions.

And if you saw Andy Flower on SSN last night, you would have heard him trot out the lines "it's healthy to have competition for places" and "Ian Bell is the man in possession".

There's only two selectors on tour - Strauss and Flower - so even if Strauss is firmly backing Shah (which is not necessarily the case), Flower - who the Telegraph claim is in the Bell camp - will back his boy.

What do you think the tie-breaker will be? "Well, he is the man in possession".

And Strauss' response to Shah's exclusion at the coin-toss? "It's healthy to have competition for places."

Same as it ever was...

Flower eh? What a QUNT!

At least we can laugh at Ian Bell's rubbishness and blame him for defeat though. And we can call Andy Flower a wanker and say how he's Peter Moores bummer boy. And basically carry on as if it were two months ago but with the old names replaced with new ones.

The King is dead, long live the King!

Aye ... Shah Owais from such accusations of selectorial racial bias and/or nepotism. Selectorial neoptism is required.

Didn't work for Dev Malcolm when he tried it on Illy.
