England player #666

[Howe_zat]

Next debutant for England will be the day an incarnation of Satan makes it onto the team.

I reckon it'll be Jade Dernbach.

 

[Spark]

Beelzebub known for his leadership qualities IIRC.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Pick Piers Morgan.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lyth, IMHO.

I did hear that whoever it is will be given the choice to have 666 or 667. Shame we can't go back in time to ask #13 if he didn't want that ordinal number.

We should retroactively remove some of the mistakes over the years and have their numbers reused IMO

Shame it can't be Root 666.

Yeah I heard that too, pathetic if that's the case. It's just a number, nothing to do with The Omen or the Book of Revelations. Hopefully common sense will prevail.

'kinell there's no way I'd turn down 666. Best number on the team

 

[grecian]

James Vince, he's scored double runs on SKY tonight.

This guy is South African, so must be in with a chance soon. Already better than Dernbach I reckon.

Oh and for those saying numbers aren't unlucky. Do you reckon the 13th player to play for England, Oz, India or West Indies are still alive. Spooky eh?

To be fair Cricket is a pretty cursed game, literallly every player who has ever played it either will or has died.

The unlucky 13s for each country:

England: Lord Harris
Australia: Billy Murdoch
South Africa: William Richards, but by their numbering which excludes players pre-Year Zero, Jonty Rhodes
West Indies: Tommy Scott
India: Lala Amarnath
New Zealand: John Mills
Pakistan: Zulfiqar Ahmed
Zimbabwe: David Brain
Bangladesh: Manjural Islam

Bit bored this morning. Bring on 11am.

Anura Ranasinghe from Sri Lanka too.

Anura Ranasinghe from Sri Lanka too.

Yes, when I did my line about these people being unlucky, I didn't actually check there would be a recent one, who actually was a bit of a tragic story

 

[theegyptian]

England definitely need to reclaim the 637 shirt.
