He's show himself to be a pain in the ass nearly everywhere he's been... That's what does it for me. Anyway, what other English players are in this then? KP, Wright, Carberry, Bresnan? Any more?

totally agree, as I said.. it's not really about KP the man.. It's more that just letting it go etc is bowing to the ECB and that's surely what we don't want to happen.

Not sure tbh, Wright, Freddie and KP are the only one's I know about

I don't consider hitting lockers or peeing on the square in the same context as texting the oppo slagging off your team mates and telling them how to get them out or being the destructive force he is. its nothing against KP, just think the decision has been made and that's it.

Im sure I am in the minority on this front but enough is enough. No amount of complaining will get him back in the side so just move on.

anyway - back to the Big bash.

Did anyone else think the coverage was very good? Having the batsman wear a camera and a mic was awesome, I found it amazing that KP was laughing and joking with Gilchrist and Ponting as Shaun Tait was flinging down 95mph bombs at him. Some of the POV shots against Tait, particularly the first bumper I didn't even see the ball!

Flintoff - Brisbane Heat
KP - Melbourne Stars
Wright - Melbourne Stars
Morgan - Sydney Thunder
Lumb - Sydney Sixers
Hales - Hobart Hurricanes
Bresnan - Hobart Hurricanes
Carberry - Perth Scorchers

There we go.

Are they still doing the batsman cameras with the gopro towering up on their helmets like Gilly did in the MCC v ROW match  ?

Kp had the camera on today. Some good views. They showed the gilly footage vs tait to.


A good coverage, I good game. Great hitting by ludeman.



As for kp, he scored runs, I shall talk about it. He's a great play or was. Depends on your view point. But I personally don't care about the behind the scenes stuff. When's he's on song he's amazing to watch. So watch I will.

Not a bad little ODI team that - obviously the aussies know more about selecting a team than the current england management (sorry couldn't resist a dig!).

Anyone mind telling me why the West Indian captain is in Australia playing BBL while his team are struggling on a tour of South Africa.

Easy to say that. At the end of the day it's a job. If one job is paying you more than another, then why not do it?
Sportsmen have a limited shelf life, can't blame them for wanting to earn while they can.

hes ODI captain ramdin is test captain so might not have been picked in test squad?

I cant remember him getting picked in the original test team but surely he is one of the best 11 test players in WI

[uknsaunders]

I might be wrong here but surely Gayle, Narine (yep know about the chucking but even so), Bravo, Pollard are potentially better test players than some of the guys in the present team. When poor old Chanders get's wheeled out to save the day (again) at nearly 40 odd, then you know things could be better.

[roco]

I haven't seen gayle advertised in big bash as I think he is injured as he was supposed to go to South Africa

Bravo yes he should be in but pollard and narine seem to be one day specialists

narine for whatever reason has a horrible record in tests

[smilley792]

Massive play from kallis and hussey! Both 39 and getting 90 odds.


Flintoff bowled too shirt IMO! 25 off his two.
