Heh a 'spyware detected' box came up on the TMS coverage that you get via BBC interactive.
That's about as interesting as what's happening at the moment really but meh.

Oh well. Cant say I wasn't expecting more.

Horses for courses bowling selections are dire IMO. You need to get a settled side, and you can't drop Monty after taking 10.

For the one dayers I'd like to see an attack consisting of Anderson-Sidebottom-Lewis-Flintoff-Collingwood-Bopara.
Thoughts?.

Blackwell, for the one-dayers, imo.

'twas not I'm afraid, his bowling in ODIs has been fairly reasonable, his batting is negligible, but could come off every now and again.

He should never of been let remotely near a Test team, mind.

have you actually had a look at his odi record? his average at 36 isn't amazing but his econ. rate is pretty damn good. he may not keep it up but he has earnt another go considering what he has done so far.

I'm more worried about Blackwell's "apparent" batting prowess tbh. He has always been a pretty underrated and underused spinner for Somerset imo. No matter how well he bowls he is nowhere near international standard with the bat which was evident in his previous OD matches.

I don't think Monty should play in ODIs but must play in all Tests as Warne did. Panesar simply put is no where near as 'amazing' as Warne but his technique of many revolutions with a perfect seam and good line and length (in short, consistancy with an edge) brings a consistancy and the odd amazing ball which adds up to a lot of wickets (5 five-fors in 16 matches). However, his consistant line and length, inconsistant amount of spin (as with many left arm orthodoxes) and 57mph pace leads him to be easily manipulated for singles (when the field is pushed back) and slogged too in the latter overs. This makes him poor in ODIs and twenty20s and the reason he should not be picked for either.

It's not as though Blackwell is head and shoulders above the likes of Dalrymple or hell even Vaughan.

he is a hell of a lot better than dalrymple with the ball, vaughan though is very underrated. but replying to your post before this worrying about his lack of batting ability, it's unlikely but it wouldn't be an issue if he was replacing monty in the lineup and being used as a bowler. although i doubt this would happen to be honest.

Well... it's not like it's worse than Panesar's or anything. There's a line of thought to suggest Blackwell is the best ODI spinner England has, even if he averages 0 with the bat. And his batting certainly hasn't shown enough to get himself selected in the top 7, but we all know he can slog and get lucky at times in domestic one day cricket, so he'd be handy at #8 or #9.
Really though, if the England selectors insist on playing Vaughan in ODIs, then I wouldn't bother picking a specialist spinner along with him. Decent bowler IMO, and he's going to be in the side then he it mght as well be utilised.

He certainly is with the ball, and he certainly isn't with the bat. Pretty simple there IMO.
