yaar if you were going to do that then you could have at least included a couple of FAST bowlers like Wills, Malcom or Headley

by Gary 111 Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:29

We've got Jon Lewis (FFS!) flying in downhill with the wind at his back, and Martin Saggers touching 90mph from the other end.

by PlanetPakistan Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:31

Jon Lewis was/is SLOW....

Malcom> Lewis

He once got 9 wickets in an innings for 57 did Malcom....
Quite sharp as well.

by Gary 111 Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:38

If this Malcom was so good then how come i've never heard of him?

Jon Lewis is not only the fastest bowler in Gloucestershire he's faster than any of those from Devon.

by spangler Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:41

Even Devon from Knightrider?

by PlanetPakistan Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:42

you have not heard of him because the cricketing world has fallen in to the line and length culture....

by PlanetPakistan Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:42

which has had a very bad impact on fast bowling

by lardbucket Tue 17 Feb 2009, 20:46

I think Devon is some sort of baloney.

I was surprised by how 'not bad' that turned out. I thought about Chris Jordan and Steven Finn but decided that one was a bit Windian and one was over-rated. Bats down to 11; I wasn't really sure where to bat everyone after 6.

Joe Denly's a better bat than Godleman. Adam Lyth is just a name to me. Rest of the team looks about right - although you could probably exchange Plunkett and Bresnan without any noticable difference.

We're not exactly known for giving youngsters a chance but there's three with Test experience in there and a few others with JAMODI caps or having been part of a senior squad already.

Hard to make a judgement on most of them as Test prospects as I've mainly seen them in the ODD/T20 stuff on TV. But hopefully a few of those will start to make a real case for inclusion by putting up some impressive numbers in the county game this summer.

Adam Lyth fills the 'bald before his time' quota in the team.
Seem him a few times, let's just say he's a poor mans Andrew Gale. Which tells you all you need to know...

His mental age must be well under 25, though...

[quote="WIFAN"]Windies Under 25 (most of whom played against England in the warm up match):

Kieron Powell (LHB, 18, FC batting 45)
quote]

Think Powell is nearer 20, but that's just me nit picking. Still well under 25.

by DJ_Smerk Tue 25 Aug 2009, 13:55

James Harris.

by JKLever Tue 25 Aug 2009, 14:09

One man team then?

by DJ_Smerk Tue 25 Aug 2009, 14:11

He'd struggle to take catches in the deep and stumpings might become a hazardous practice.

by Chivalry Augustus Tue 25 Aug 2009, 14:14

The updated England XI:

Alastair Cook (c)
Joe Denly
James Vince
Ravi Bopara
James Taylor
Dawid Malan
Steve Davies
Adil Rashid
Stuart Broad
Chris Woakes
Tim Bresnan

by DJ_Smerk Tue 25 Aug 2009, 14:17

Broad is already established at the top level as is Cook, so its cheating a bit Wink

by Chivalry Augustus Tue 25 Aug 2009, 14:19

Swap 'em with Cobb and Finn then.

by DJ_Smerk Tue 25 Aug 2009, 14:20

I'm surprised no-one here would take James Harris on an England tour, even in 5 years time.
