Who the hell do you think you are, Richard Dawson?You canall you like, the fact is it's true. If you play, you take wickets - eventually.
And if I played 300 Test-matches (and bowled, obviously) I'd very probably get 200 wickets.
It's the way you phrase things. You couched it in a way that made it seem as you were disagreeing with what I said quite vehemently & by asking the question "What on Earth would be the point picking him for ODIs now?" it seemed like you'd got the impression that I was somehow suggesting Brown should be picked.
Clearly not, as shown by the greatest county batsmen of recent times being comparative or complete failures in Tests.
If so then I apologise. I don't tend to do things by half-measure, though. "What on Earth?" just sounds more appropriate than "What?"
No, most were successes - Butcher, Atherton, Hussain, Stewart, Thorpe, Vaughan, and even to an extent Ramprakash and Hick.
And with Trescothick that'd have been no bad thing. As for Vaughan, well, yes, he would have got a look-in - because since 2000 he's been scoring bucketloads of runs for Yorkshire.
but Minor Counties cricket is rubbish. Just guys that have jobs that allow them to play lots of cricket. The standard is poor and shouldnt really be factored into any structural debates.
haha..that explains it
must have been having a very blonde moment. I distinctly remember reading your post about 3 times, and I still read it wrong.Oh, right, you just misread what I typed?
As does playing ahead of a Kolpak...
Vaughn van Jaarsveld's contract must be short term for his going to Australia in July with the South African Emerging Players squad (unless VB's called an halt on his possible international career).Vaughan van jaarsveldt signed for warwickshire will play for their 2nds tomorrow,good signing oh a kolpak one too
