prior doing nothing?
check his stats in this seasons 40 over and t20 sussex games.
My first pick would have been sidebottom for the t20s....
Did you see the way Collingwood batted today and since the Bangladesh games?
Did you watch adams at all this season in the t20s?

yes adams hit runs against county bowlers so lets put him in the team againts the aussies who would give him a battering!
Look, the current england side is balanced and is a winning side, they will not change it. the team will be the team which is playin now ,

Test team everyone knows that
one day will be, strauss,davies,trott,kp,morgan,collingwood,wright/bresnan,yardy,swann,broad,anderson with ravi/bell 12th man
t20 - kieswetter,davies,kp,colly,morgan,wright,yardy,bresnan,broad,swann, sidebottom/ if hes retired then prob be anderson ?

so apart from a replacement for sidebottom in the t20 there is no need for talk on adams,proir,shazad etc

and kieswetter can't score runs against a county bowlers so lets put him in the team.

And no bell in the odis?

DId u watch anything on saturday ?

[essexarsenal]

so your answer is to drop everyone who has some bad form ?
Yes, great knock from bell. The only way he can get in the team is instead of trott so maybe but did you see him today ?? hit it straight to a.ali, dont get me wrong bell is one of my favourite players but he will still have to fight for his place with trott and not expect to walk straight in.

[essexarsenal]

kieswetter has always been in the t20 team since the world cup, so why should he be dropped? If you going to drop players like that we are going to end up like we were a few years ago when we had something like 13 different openning parnerships in 1 year ?

You say good things bd, but my line of thinking is more with essexarsenals. Though having said that, trott and colly were appaling today!

[thebd11]

I suppose being 14 the wheels of change need to be constantly oiled and in motion to make me satisfied, but I am also open to other points of view and can see where you are coming from

[essexarsenal]

yes, well we shall see when the ashes squads are announced on thursday

[Vantage Cricket]

Have to be:
Cook
Strauss
Trott
KP
Collingwood
Bell
Prior
Swann
Broad
Anderson
Finn

I dont trust Bopara, he does have undoubted but just cant trust him. Plus there is a bit of extra bounce over there and he was bit exposed in the 09 ashes tests getting caught at gully. I like Trott/Colly/Cook they are all relatively calm and dont get flustered too easily, plus they done care how pretty there runs look. Interesting to see how KP goes over there.. Anderson is a better bowler than he gets credit for over there, i watched the last 3 tests over there last time and he had decent control had decent variations, plus the aussie batting isnt as formidable as last time round.

2-2

Lol, I'm off out in half an hour or so, whilst I'm out I'm stocking up on Lucozade and getting some food in.

Disappointed Gran Turismo 5 hasn't arrived yet though

[tommo256]

ANyone know any streaming sites, or any have sky player ID they would be willing to let me borrow?

[Apple]

I keep trying to imagine what/how Andrew Strauss is feeling, having gunned for England for the past coming months, my mind switched earlier this weak, for some reason I just don't see us winning them

[Ayrtek Cricket]

[Perkins17]
