Ass isn't filtered, but trying to avoid the filter ain't a good idea.This England ODI squad is pretty bad. They might think about getting Strauss,Vaughn and Trescothick back. Its amazing how England blow a$$ in ODI cricket.
Unless, that is, Hoggard and Flintoff were to return...Thankfully, this god-awful match-up is now over.
With few notable exceptions, the standard of play from both teams has been depressingly bad for the entire summer.
Hopefully the Indians will expose the English attack for the tripe it actually is because their test attack shouldnt threaten anybody of international class IMO
You could also say the same about Shah, Masceranhas, Yardy and Cook.Can't say I'm terribly keen on Panesar in ODIs from the fielding POV, no.
We could be here all day Stefano.England are a good test team. Why do they play so badly in ODI?
One ODI match that really affected England's ODI performance was when they versed South Africa that one time. No offence, but.... Shame!
Richard's analysis.England are a good test team. Why do they play so badly in ODI?
By sending in an application for staff membership.Richard, I was wondering if you could tell me how you get to write match reports.
Mascarenhas seems like a good fielder from what I've heard, fast and athletic.You could also say the same about Shah, Masceranhas, Yardy and Cook.
You obviously haven't seen him...Mascarenhas seems like a good fielder from what I've heard, fast and athletic.
Well I don't remember him ****ing anything up when listening to the games on the radio and Cricinfo says "he is an excellent fielder" but then Cricinfo also have him down as fast-medium.You obviously haven't seen him...
Agree with this completely, Dalrymple over Yardy anyday.Mascarenhas seems like a good fielder from what I've heard, fast and athletic.
I'd happily get rid of the others tho. Whoever England pick their bowling is going to be erratic and their batting will be crappy. I'd like to see England just pick a side that is a really top notch all round fielding unit and start from there, something to base their side on and know they can compete with anyone on.
So you'd get a full strength side like this:
Trescothick
Bell
Bopara
KP
Flintoff
Collingwood
Dalrymple
Nixon/Read
Mascarenhas
Plunkett
Anderson
Can't think of reserves off the top of my head.
Cheers pasag, just sent away my application form.By sending in an application for staff membership.
We're of the same mind, Scales. As for reserves; Trott is the only name that comes to mind right now since he's an unproven quantity (in ODI's at least). Also Shah, given he's been alright in the last few games.So you'd get a full strength side like this:
Trescothick
Bell
Bopara
KP
Flintoff
Collingwood
Dalrymple
Nixon/Read
Mascarenhas
Plunkett
