ICC Combined Associate and Affiliate (AM) XI v England. January 7-9, 2012

I reckon he'll average about that or above. Depends how Pakistan bat though; I didn't necessarily mean figures; I just reckon he won't bowl as well as people are predicting. It was only one series ago people were calling for his head and while he bowled very well against India, he's done that sort of thing before and still returned to mediocrity afterwards. I'm just not that convinced yet, tbh.

But before, his breathtaking performances were confined to single matches, single innings if you like.

India was a turning point.

 

[Jarquis]

I loved Jimmeh way back before it was cool.

So did I!

 

[Jarquis]

Davies' average back over 40!

As for Broad, I was one of his biggest critics but have a gut inkling he'll do alright. As people have mentioned the way he impressed in the West Indies series a few years back on some of the flattest decks known to man should hopefully see him go alright here. Coming into the series in ****-hot form too by the looks of it.

 

[Jarquis]

lolBroad, 1 to win... heeeeeeaaaavveee

He did a Borthwick.

 

[Howe_zat]

And we're done.

Gotten away with this. Broad the only one who can hold his head up, really.

 

[Athlai]

Wonder what could have been if Hamid didn't run into a fence.

 

[Howe_zat]

Declaring behind to make a Test comeback this year.

 

[MW1304]

ICC XI giving us a better game than India or Sri Lanka could manage.

 

[Prince EWS]

Declaring behind to make a Test comeback this year.

Is Dilshan a bad enough captain to declare behind in his team's second innings?

Yes IMO.

 

[Daemon]

Nah, Dhoni to do that to be 'unorthodox' and 'clever'

 

[Furball]

Has been/probably will always be

Bresnan - Howe
Tremmers - you
Broad - Corrin possibly
Swann & Jimmeh - I'm claiming

You can line up behind me when it comes to the Jimmeh love.

 

[Pothas]

Will freely admit to Broad and especially Bresnan derision.

Always loved Jimmy but would never have claim to have always had faith.

Always rated Tremlett though and not entirely for parochial reasons, he did look shot before his Surrey move though.

 

[Jarquis]

You can line up behind me when it comes to the Jimmeh love.

Nuh. Will fight you tooth and nail.

 

[Furball]

Nuh. Will fight you tooth and nail.

Have you loved Jimmeh for 8 years?

 

[Jarquis]

Have you loved Jimmeh for 8 years?

Didn't know what cricket was 8 years ago.

 

[L Trumper]

Have you loved Jimmeh for 8 years?

When was that hat trick against PAK? summer of 03? It must be 8 1/2 years then.

Loved him since then

 

[Furball]

Didn't know what cricket was 8 years ago.

So get in line.

 

[Jarquis]

So get in line.

Well no, because it wasn't a list of "People who have loved players the longest"

 

[Garson007]

Give the team more matches and 4 dayers at that. Good performance.
