Jimmykins has that can't be arsed look about him today.

by JKLever Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:05

No speed from the Burnley wunderkid either.

by Brass Monkey Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:08

Here's a little serious one:
When(if really but let's all be wishful thinkers together) Flintoff returns fit, who goes? Sidey looks good as does Broad, but Jimmikins is our spearhead and generally our best ODI bowler. Therefore, is it one of the batsmen that goes or one of the mentioned farquars?

by JKLever Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:11

The way jimmykins has started this - HIM!!

Probably Fred for Bopara

He is a shot to ribbons batsman though. Still, if we're wishful thinking then he wont be. Which I suppose is fair enough. He was a top ODI batsman for a while so we'd be getting some genuine all-round quality. He'd probably make us a good side.

If he can consistently get back on the park rather than this stop start carp, then his batting will have a better chance of getting back to some sort of form

Aye. Oh for the free and easy batsman of 2003-04. He just swung away to brilliant effect.

Tharanga GAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Caught at slip, it was not Jiminy bowling

7-1

by JKLever Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:17

Sidey what a farkin legend!!

Can't believe Shah held on...

by Brass Monkey Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:19

Tharedga edges one and gets caught? Surely it should've squirted over slip/past gully for 4?

by Guest Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:31

Good start Smile

by doctorspin Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:31

Jiminy gets his first wicket of the tour, although KP (FFS! who else) nearly floored it.

Jayasuriya GAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Aye, never call a catch with KP until is firmly in the mits! Noice slower ball

by Brass Monkey Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:33

Decent slower ball apparently. Good thinking Jim. Unlucky all tour really.

KP really is a soap-handed fool.

by holcs Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:33

Were Fred to come back, you'd have to say on present form, Cook or Bell would Go.....

by Brass Monkey Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:33

Oh. Someone already mentioned the slower ball etc. Sorry. Sad

by doctorspin Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:34

England flippin' mudering 'em! Give them another round of MBE's!

Cor, I'd love Fred to open.

Ahem, on present form Bell was our best ODI player against India.
But thats for another thread Very Happy

by JKLever Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:36

Nothing in this pitch at all swing wise, just our bowling has been so damn accurate.

Nothing like the dross weasels we selected in that home 0-5 series...

by LeFromage Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:37

Pietersen can't do anything without making a drama out of it.

If he was a chick he'd be a nightmare girlfriend.

by doctorspin Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:46

JIMINY.....LEGEND!!!!!

by JKLever Wed 10 Oct 2007, 10:47

20-3

Amazing what bowling straight does to a batting side when its not offered a 4 ball every over
