Why dernbach? Why do they keep picking him! Arrrghhhh


People will be happy to see Ali I'm there going on other threads.

I'm looking forward to see hales in an odi, see what he does in the power play!



But who's the back up keeper? Root?

[RoCo Da Pixie]

I am not quite sure what Dernbach keeps doing to justify selection.....

The team looks like a squad of okay cricketers who could spark on the day. But nothing on the consistant front.

[Bats_Entertainment]

Looks like a bit like a strong county squad?

[Alvaro]

It looks like a thanks for coming squad.

[TangoWhiskey]

Hopefully Gurney gets a go. Would offer some decent variation.

[smilley792]

On it's day I believe it could fire and beat anyone, but I doubt there's enough consistency in there to win a tournament unfortunately.


Hales, Morgan and buttler will be expected to score a huge amount for sun to get anywhere.

[Alvaro]

Nice to see James Whitaker fronting up and refusing to speak to the press.
That takes balls....

But who's the back up keeper? Root?

Presumably if the keeper gets injured they can replace an injured player in the sqaud and just fly someone out? Kieswetter probably?

[Kieron_BT]

Would Graham Napier not have been a shout for this sqaud?

[The_Bird]

Bresnan/Dernbach/Root.............WTF?

[Rob580]

Dernbach has got to be blackmailing one of the selectors somehow. Basically he could refuse not to bowl and still get picked.

Not sure T20 is Moeen's best format to showcase his talents, but good for him to have got a place. Parry is a decent T20 bowler, and may well get a game, seeing how much the pitches in West Indies seem to spin of late.....

Napier probably should be in the squad, but he's a bit old and injury prone for that. Plus people think he's a one trick pony after his 152*, even though he's probably the best and most consistent yorker bowler in the country.

[Kieron_BT]

Bresnan/Dernbach/Root.............WTF?

Because Root averages over 50 with a high score of 90* and a strike rate of 140? Plus he bowls and is one of our best fielders?

[Kieron_BT]

Napier probably should be in the squad, but he's a bit old and injury prone for that. Plus people think he's a one trick pony after his 152*, even though he's probably the best and most consistent yorker bowler in the country.

Was thinking more his bowling with batting being a bonus. Got to be a better shout than Dernbach surely?

[csnew]

Bresnan did poor in the tests, odi's and t20's.
Suppose he's part of broads ps3/twitter group so keeps getting selected.

As for Dernbach, it's probably to keep the SA quota in the team

[wayward_hayward]

How can Napier not be in the squad?
