Super Eight

Oh well, Flintoff is more of a bowler who bats a bit now.

 

[PY]

Haha, only England could be this crap to make a turd total look half decent.

 

[wpdavid]

the problem is, no England fan complains when KP is murdering the ball through mid wicket for 4. Quite often a players strength is a weakness as well.

Ponting is hot at the moment, but it wasnt that long ago since he had a pretty poor stretch in ODIs.

Batting for my life..Ponting of course

Agreed on all points. Going back to the rankings, KP's average is hugely weighted by his extraordinary series in SA. In the two years since then, he "only" averages 46. Still very, very good of course, and I'd happily have in my world oneday XI right now. But it does show how things have levelled off since then.

Oh hang on, five down

 

[Scaly piscine]

ffs. Abysmal.

 

[PY]

6 down, oh dear oh dear!

Pietersen averages more runs per innings than Ponting, and that's not including the not-outs.

 

[grecian]

SOOOOOOOOOOOO predictable, we can't play spin, it's almost funny

 

[PhoenixFire]

I swear that there are seniors at my club who could have played that ball better than Flintoff.

 

[wpdavid]

Embarrassing looks like some kind of golden age right now. Anyone care to rank the dismissals in oder of ineptitude/sheer bloody stupidity?

 

[steds]

Bangladesh having 3 spinners will count against us. We're not exactly experts at pushing the run rate along against them.

 

[PhoenixFire]

This is so dire it's quite amusing tbh.

 

[PY]

Haha, Paul 'The Skull' Nixon turns round and stars at the keeper for that appeal, as if he wouldn't do something similar.

He's probably my favourite England player except for KP.

 

[Barney Rubble]

This is so dire it's quite amusing tbh.

Agreed. Fancy South Africa to beat us by 200 runs TBH.

 

[chris.hinton]

Good ball got Freddie, Bangladesh are a much better side now,

COME ON ENGLAND

 

[PhoenixFire]

Agreed. Fancy South Africa to beat us by 200 runs TBH.

The weird thing is, is that we always seem to make a hash of it against the 'Minnows', and do fairly OK against the stronger sides like Aus and SA.

 

[TT Boy]

So much for getting a decent net run rate. These two must be waiting for the next PowerPlay.

 

[Dasgupta]

No run for 15 balls. England are going to run out of overs

This has totally ****ed up our NRR. We need to post like 600 against SA to make it decent.

 

[Dasgupta]

Make that 19
