Bowled pretty gun for us during the first season of U19s, should play as an all rounder.I think someone forgot that Scott's not a bowler.
DWTA. Bowling was struggling. Not the batting. It's a bigger risk to add an inexperienced element to an already poor attack.Debut in the final, is still a debut in the final regardless whether someone is a bowler or batsmen.
It not as if the batting was on fire outside two guys.DWTA. Bowling was struggling. Not the batting. It's a bigger risk to add an inexperienced element to an already poor attack.
The coach should know that. It's pretty much a common sense idiot-proof fact, after all.
Cunningham made the ODI squad for West Indies back during Pratters fitness first coaching stint.I don't think he did. Cameron only made one ODI squad, when we needed, IIRC, an extra seamer for the World Cup. He was a Theo Walcott pick. And in fairness, Cameron had had a good season before that.
Fair enough there. Apologies. Was never likely to play though, like Cameron really.Cunningham made the ODI squad for West Indies back during Pratters fitness first coaching stint.
So true.
At what point did I label Cunningham the next Botham? And when was I the one, apparently, solely pushing for his inclusion? A bit of selective memory there, mefinks. For the record, Cunningham was selected for Tests after some strong performance for club and 'A' team. It certainly was not about US cricket.
Besides the fact that Cunningham was nowhere near contention for the ODI side, given his very mediocre career record and a very mediocre season. It's even more ridiculous to select someone purely for the sake of not debuting someone else. In fact it's pretty ridiculous that you'd bring Cunningham into this conversation at all.
Especially given that he was never in ODI contention, on account of averaging around 10 with the bat and 30+ with the ball all his career there. Study up, coach.
My insinuation was that we would not be recalling Patrick and Wright at the moment, and Rose made a mess of his opportunity. Therefore any other option would be a debutant. Thought it was fairly clear cut.
In the selectors mind anyway, I remember being abit dark about not getting the ODI debut. I started off with actually a half-decent OD record. Just done some research and I hit 27*(22) and had figures of 0/19(7) in the 50-over warm-up match vs Jamaica and was then released from the squad, to cap it off the CWXI then lost the series(vs WI !). Nothing more than a steady OD seamer these days with Neil Pickup like abilities with the bladeFair enough there. Apologies. Was never likely to play though, like Cameron really.
