Luke Wright has also been in outstanding form in 50 over cricket this year
Luke Wright has over 100 England caps and he has never shown he's international quality...

Only 39 in the longer format.

Still learning, maybe another year and might be worth another look.

Have to remember that not all superstars come in to international cricket and perform from the off.

Look at ABdV. He took about 30 games before his average got above 30 and now look at him. One of the best around.

I was just going for anyone not "British" rather than just South Africans.
The eagle eyed will notice Ballance is Zimbabwean  :D

Did you rate one test wonder Darren Pattinson??
And I forgot Andy Caddick, how could I do that??

You like McIlroy because he said that he wanted Aus to win and England to lose, so it's obvious that he isn't keen in the English.
And we all know how little Murray likes being called a Brit, and sees himself as Scottish. So obvious why you like them!!

Usual slog from hales. Really needs to get himself in, before attempting that shot

Or maybe he is just not that good.

I can't see how a couple of games batting at three, and failing there too, is England's fault.

I presume you believe there is no mental part of the cricket game, and it's a simple matter of if your good, you perform, and if you aren't you won't. Nothing else will effect you?


I suppose Finn was merely "not that good" when in last years ashes, and sent home, and nothing to do with mental frustration off the then coaching staff constantly changing his game?
