Possible England Lions squad for the winter

I assume they're touring somewhere?

How about-

Batsmen

Denly
Carberry
Bell
Bopara
Joyce(c)
Hildreth

Keepers/all rounders

Foster
Kieswetter
Wright
Bresnan

Bowlers

Woakes
Fletcher
Tremlett
Panesar
J.Harris
Rafiq

Bell and Bopara are unquestionably 2 of the most talented batsmen in England. Whether they will ever have the temperament for the top level is another matter. Joyce has had a solid season and is a good, experienced player these days. he captains the side. Azeem Rafiq is a bit of a bolter- 18 year old off spinner and extremely handy batsman who already has a first class century to his name. I hear good things.

Thoughts?

Bell and Bopara are unquestionably 2 of the most talented batsmen in England.???
if this is true God help English cricket.

Apart from Englishmen I dont think anyone else is interested in the English team these days...they are just so insignificant,they are well down the list.


I may be an idiot,but I am a honest idiot.why dont you take a deep look at your muppets that represent England,surely to God you can see what the rest of the wholeworld can see.????

Oh yay another Aussie troll. Amazing how they all come from the same country.......

If you poms are prepared to keep on paying your hard earned money to watch the garbage that they are dishing out,then that is your perogative, we would not tolerate it in Australia where we expect our team to win all the time,(and we aren't disappointed very often)

Why do you poms always throw insults at people that have posted truthful criticisms on this forum,I realise that it must be because of the total frustration of knuckling under to the Aussies yet AGAIN....JUST LEARN TO ACCEPT THIS AS IT WILL NO DOUBT CONTINUE FOR A LOT MORE YEARS.We accept we are below our usual & expected standard of play,BUT,...WE ARE STILL LIGHT YEARS IN FRONT OF ENGLAND.

Looks like we have a live one here.

It's Mr Cricket on acid.

No offence to Panesar, but he's had his chance at the top level and at the moment, he's blown it.


Doesn't Northants tour somewhere in the Winter or off-season?

Instead of Panesar, I'd think about Beer, Waller, Tredwell or Rayner. Monty will probably end up touring SAF with the full squad; unless Rashid takes a bagful toward the end of the season. No way in hell would they take 3 spinners to SAF.

Raynor?? Farking Raynor?? Are you having a larf?

My little toe is more an off-spinner than Ollie Farking Raynor!

Well Charles, what county does he play for?

Rayner is far from the worst offie in the country, tall nice action. Disagree with you on this one - not that he's the bees knees, just not a total gashlord like Jon Maunders.

Oh JK, please! He is bog-standard at best as off-spinners go.

And he is a total gashlord!

You seem to have omitted a talented little truck shaped batsman from your list there, Henry. I shall allow you time to remedy this egregious error.

A Notts player?

I assume Gussie is talking about Fat Sam.

There are batsmen at Notts? I thought they all left?

Could you narrow it down a bit?

Is this the new buzzword?

The forum is rife with hippopotomonstrosesquipedalianism.

Aye, far too many big words for the dyslexicographists amongst us.

Better prospect than Batty, and that Gasher played for England less than 6 months ago!

Batty is a better bowler than Raynor, and thats saying something. On that basis that Batty is a gasher, my original statement about Raynor stands!

A gashlord of the highest order!
