I like Kaneria

Despite his poor form i see him as some one who really wants to play for Pakistan as he tries harder than most BUT that comment was very disappointing. I hope the comment so taken out of context.

Malik- Yes
Kaneria- No

Dirk Nannes to carve up England.

by Brass Monkey Fri 05 Jun 2009, 12:29

Nannes has looked alright so far, he's bound to trouble a few - it's not like most of our 'superstars' are more adept than the County stock. It's just that they play Tests.

Will Dirk's Nann be watching?

No. I doubt I'm part of his immediate thoughts. But I expect he knew I couldn't afford it.

Would be hella funny if we got a NR and lost to the Paks and went out on run rate Laughing

Rumour is that KP is going to be rested because of his achilles? Bigger problem than people are letting on methinks if thats the case - why play the warm ups?

by Big_Bad_Bob Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:06

Looks like they've had a shower, but that it's now drying.

Only light showers forecast, should get a game in.

Interesting on KP.

could be complete rubbish of course, but Sky don't usually get inside stories wrong.

by JKLever Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:39

Yup.

KP misses out & Rob Key plays...

Great warm up England.

by JKLever Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:44

Hope they ditch the hacker experiment for this game and open with Key - absolutely no point in putting him in the side otherwise.

Rashid is also in for Swann, so makes his international debut.

by holcs Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:45

YESSSS. Key gets in the team. Just pray he opens, gets loads and Wright is shown up by Nannes!

by Big_Bad_Bob Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:50

Rashid for Swann? WTF? confused

Got to be concerned about niggles to KP and Swann.

And lets be fair if they cant beat Holland then we should give up.

Zzzzzzz

by Big_Bad_Bob Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:58

Right. Didn't realise Swanny had a knock.

by JKLever Fri 05 Jun 2009, 16:59

England chief medical officer, Nick Peirce, informs us that "Kevin had
been making excellent progress with the management of his right
Achilles injury and had shown substantial improvement. However today he
has experienced a degree of pain which medical assessments have
suggested may be related to some aggravation from his lower back."

by JKLever Fri 05 Jun 2009, 17:19

Pissing down again Laughing

Opening ceremoney abandoned...

The ECB site reports that contingency plans have been put in place for the tournament to be moved indoors. Teams will all be bussed to Loughborough, where the twelve wicketkeepers will be arranged in a circle and made to catch knockdowns in turn. Teams are eliminated whenever their keeper drops the ball.

The tournament will be transmitted to big screens at Lord's and The Oval.

Giles Clarke, asked for an opinion, opined: We think the sponsors ... errrrm, the spectators are looking for a bit of a change from boring bowlouts at this stage, which take up too much time, when all is said and done..

by buckSH Fri 05 Jun 2009, 17:29

I so yearn for IPL ...

by JKLever Fri 05 Jun 2009, 17:32

Holland win toss and put us in, unsurprisingly...

They'll end up with a 5 over run chase on D/L - get on betfair now!!

I've layed England at 1.06!

by buckSH Fri 05 Jun 2009, 17:35

some old boring duke comes in ...
