Yeah he was loving every minute of it.Patel can be our opening batsman and opening bowler.
Seconded!
He would be so excited. Half the time when he hit the ball he looked like he was amazed at how well it came off.
"So this is batting...
Its not that hard."
All sounds sensible to me!Yeah he was loving every minute of it.
I'll never forget that break between overs where Macka, Taylor and Franklin were discussing tactics and from the way Jimmy was shaking his head you could tell he didnt think they could win. Then it looked like Macka was doing his typical "yes we can" thing. Then when Macka got out Jimmy looked all sad again but Patel! He just came out and played his shots and looked the complete batsman. That four he got where he whacked it over the fielders head was hilarious, the smile on Jeets face! Ponting pfft we got Patel.
his future record:
ODI
Bat: 60.00
Ball: 18.99
TEST
Bat: 100.00
Ball: 10.00
Yeah i know those predictions could come back to haunt me but what the heck, if Plunkett can not bowl a wide ball then that should be a piece of cake for Patel.![]()
Which suggests to me either there was a serious flaw in the old rules or in the "tests". I think it would be much better just to have a panel of humans deciding whether a player is chucking or not and do away with these rubbish "scientific" methods
Cricinfo said:Stephen Fleming's average against Sri Lanka has dropped to miserable 18.68 from 33 innings. In his last five innings against them he has scored one run.
Doesn't he average (bowling) in the twenties in ODI's already?Im going to be realistic here.
Bat: 38.21
Bowl: 22.38

Keep both of them and use Patel to open the bowling. Something radical might be effective in this days game.Doesn't he average (bowling) in the twenties in ODI's already?
Off memory thats better than Vettori and look who's off form. The future skipper might get a nasty shock for our next series when Patel bumps him out of the top team....
I have pocket aces. I'm going all-in before the flop.Are we playing cards?
Would you like to get off the floor and elaborate on why you find that so amusing?
ummm....snap!I have pocket aces. I'm going all-in before the flop.
Your move.
Call: I have a pair of jacksI have pocket aces. I'm going all-in before the flop.
Your move.
Love to see him bowl a bouncerKeep both of them and use Patel to open the bowling. Something radical might be effective in this days game.
He'll find a way.Love to see him bowl a bouncer![]()

I know he will. He'll force the batsman right onto the backfoot, then he'll give him the reverse spinning yorker and clean bowl him.He'll find a way.
Well with Bond on the other side slowing down the game Patel can take all the wickets!I know he will. He'll force the batsman right onto the backfoot, then he'll give him the reverse spinning yorker and clean bowl him.
he'll bowl, sprint down the pitch to the stumps and when the batsman nicks it he'll pull off an absolute ripper. He will proceed to do this ten times a match, every match. Bond wont get a look in.but how's he going to manage that, having displacing Brendan behind the stumps with his superior skills?![]()
