Do you actually believe the bollocks that you post? Dead set on your way to becoming the worst CC poster of all-time

You're on your way to becoming arguably the dumbest member that has ever signed up on this forum because you are seemingly the only one who reacts or takes offence when I make sarcastic remarks.

Once again, please refrain from baiting other posters. There are enough issues around here without posters deliberately trying to stir up reactions.
It is the way things always work, it is always easier to try and blame one person for a side being essentially mediocre (which England are) don't think the Broad case is nearly as bad as others we have seen but is probably some truth in it. Does not help that his face is somewhat dislikeable.

Matthew Sinclair's a better cricketer then Stuart Broad and his a member on this forum.

Yes, so bugger off. Wouldn't want the superstar cricketer of the forum, who has played against Phillip Hughes to be spreading his stupidity disease throughout the forum.

The "don't change a winning team" mantra. If England were currently one-nil down, he might (though only might) have had to sling his hook for the ongoing-as-of-this-post game.
If they were to win again at Edgbaston and he took 0-130 in the match (which is unlikely BTW) I'd still be pretty surprised to see him replaced for Headingley.

Nah I reckon he'll pull his finger out and take all 10.

unless the player is insanely talented or your national team is low on options then meh prospects like him should be learning their trade on the county circuit rather than attempting to learn it in the harshest of environments.

Yeah, I'd agree with you if I thought we had older players that would be able to stand in and do a decent job in his stead, but I don't really think we do at the moment.

harmison is still a superior bowler to broad. i don't see how that can be disputed. as tainted and damaged a player as he still would do a better job than broad.

I completely agree. Harmison is miles ahead of Broad, even when he's not in peak form.

Well that obviously justifies his terrible statistics.

It doesn't justify Harmison's either though. At least Broad's a test number eight.
I don't think for a second that Harmison's a better bowler than Broad either. Look at how they bowled when they were playing together in the West Indies. It's all very well to say he's "not test class" or "just being picked on potential" or "not up to scratch". I'm not hearing any decent alternatives to picking him.
