Pattinson Out of the Rest of the Series

[Cabinet96]

Nah he isn't. Has only had one major injury, which he picked up in India a few months ago. Think he was just a late developer.

 

[morgieb]

He's quite old (27) to have only played 20 FC matches, is he quite injury prone too?

Was 25 when he made his FC debut.

NFI whether that was down to being a late bloomer or injuries though.

 

[uvelocity]

nah just couldnt get a crack at nsw

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yup, he was a weird one Bird. Some guys never rated him, but he kept on taking wickets.

 

[Furball]

Would a NSW rejects side beat the current NSW side?

 

[Cabinet96]

I'd like to see a best XI of players that have never had any links with NSW (I.e. never played for them or didn't come from there) It's amazing how even though basically the whole side for years has been really similar to the NSW side, they've managed to get loads of NSW rejects in as well. How many people in the current Ashes squads aren't NSW players of NSW rejects? Can only think of six; Agar, Faulkner, Harris, Patto, Wade and Siddle.

 

[Spikey]

harris was born in nsw

 

[Cabinet96]

So that means Faulkner is the only one with no NSW or Victoria association. That's probably the only reason they picked him...

 

[Furball]

Isn't Wade from NSW?

 

[Spikey]

Faulkner's also the only player in the squad who should 100% never ever play

 

[Cabinet96]

Isn't Wade from NSW?

Tasmania to Victoria.

Faulkner's also the only player in the squad who should 100% never ever play

Which is my point. You've clearly got your own quota system going.

 

[social]

Faulkner's also the only player in the squad who should 100% never ever play

Would he really be much worse than Watto atm?

60 runs per test and 1 wicket isnt exactly a high hurdle to jump over

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah but dat cover drive.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, Watson is good to watch, so it makes up for him not scoring many runs.

 

[morgieb]

According to Damien Martyn Johnson got called up.

 

[Flem274*]

Oh dear.

 

[Viscount Tom]

I hope he plays.

 

[Son Of Coco]

According to Damien Martyn Johnson got called up.

I hope this isn't true. The bloke's like herpes, impossible to get rid of.

 

[Valer]

I hope this isn't true. The bloke's like herpes, impossible to get rid of.

But those good spells and the 100 vs SA.

 

[Furball]

He'd probably have bowled better than Pattinson at Lord's.
