In the test squad, and i think he has deserved his place, maybe for his clever shots in the shorter form of the game, but i think he can be just as good a player in the test form.
anybody else have views on his selection?
-
obviously a great timer of the ball, scored a good amount of runs in the one-day game and i think he deserves his place :)
-
He will either thrive or fail in the test team.
He's even said himself he needs to work on his 4 day game, let alone 5 days of tests in varying conditions around the world.
I would love to see him use his T20 style/inovation and Fcuk over the Australian,Pakistan etc bowling attacks.
Time will tell ;)
-
If he is in then he should be in for the whole summer barring a dramatic failure rate.....
-
Is he not there to replace Colly? Presuming Colly is fit for the Pakistan series I'm guessing this is just a brief experiment (if he even makes the starting XI)
-
I think he's been picked for his big match temperament as much as anything else.
Its certainly worth a try against Bangladesh, but where would you bat him? 5,6, or 7?
I think probably 6.
-
i think he should bat 5 and play 5 bowlers
this would be my team,
Strauss
Cook
Bell
Pietersen
Morgan
Prior
Swann
Bresnan
Broad
Shazad
Anderson
-

So Trott Dropped Because Of One Bad Series..?
-
So Trott Dropped Because Of One Bad Series..?
yes
-
For me it'll be
Strauss
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Morgan
Prior
Swann
Bresnan
Anderson
Finn

I think Will's team is the most probable, but possibly leaves the bowling a little shy with no Collingwood as back up - I'd maybe have gone with Luke Wright as opposed to Morgan.
As much as I like England with Prior at 6 and 5 specialist bowlers, i think they'll back themselves to take 20 wickets in early English conditions vs. Bangladesh
-
Trott & Pietersen may have to give 10-15 overs between them with the ball
-
I think that my team would be
1. Strauss
2.Cook
3.Trott
4.Peitersen
5.Bell
6.Morgan
7.Prior
8.Swann
9.Bresen
10.Andersen
11.Finn

he is a good standing player. he plays his own style. i like his batting style. :D
-
Anyone else think that Eoin Morgan would be better off playing champoinship cricket in England than opening the batting/batting at 7 in the IPL?
I think his talent is phenominal but he is wrong to chase the bucks at the moment and should be trying harder to get in the test side, but then I am just a grumpy old wotsit who likes old school cricket
-
Totally agree with you Mr Buzz/Coach
Leave the IPL nonsense to KP
-
20-20 cricket used to be just for fun, but now it is wayyyyyyyy too serious and is taking players away from the main form of the game.
-
I agree, however you've got to think about their view of it - they're getting a huge paypacket from it for a bit of fun.
-
Money talks may not be right buts it's the way of the modern world
-
As good as Morgan is, I think for the time being he is more likely to be effective for England as a one day player - therefore, I think experience in the IPL is good (though I haven't been watching it this year, so can't comment on the standard this year)
-
If cricket was my job, I'd be going for the dosh. I would never miss a test match or international game for an IPL match, but if I had the choice of mega bucks in hot weather, or not as much money in damp April/May in England.... I know where I would go!
Not saying it's a good thing, but it's definitely what I would do. It's the same in my own job, if my boss said I would be getting paid more money for doing the same job, I would definitely do it.
-
I'm not saying I wouldn't do it either, but I don't like how it went from being just for fun, to being pretty serious and is taking players away from long form of the game.
