what was i ****ing saying

That was a review born of desperation.

Looked stone dead; was stone dead.

 

[Flem274*]

you can't bat in the 'easiest' position and miss straight ones dude.

probably not the best line to write before i say id retain bairstow at 6 in a full strength england....

Meanwhile in bangladesh australia managing to choke a chase of 105 after hitting an over for 30 runs.

 

[Shri]

if ashwin offers to come on a sub fielder does the captain say no

 

[wpdavid]

interesting experiment here. lawrence is a county batsman and thakur is a county trundler. who beats who in a test match?

And there you go ....

And then Lawrence compounds it by reviewing one that was hitting middle.

It swung in and pretty sure that was reverse too.

which bits and pieces cricketer have you dubbed lord now?

though thakur is a decent match up to root. lord colin comes on asap to root, and thakur is a discount lord colin without the batting.

 

[hendrix]

Buttler not a terrible bat to have come out in this situation. England probably need another 130 odd.

a test batsman gets bat on that ball. you're making it sound like wasim akram bowled it.

Thakur is a rich man's CdG everywhere but NZ.

he's a decent player, people just expected gilchrist 2.0 based on his odi exploits.

an average of 34 is fine for a keeper bat.

aussies never complained about akram intimidating them with short balls but thakur did

Lol... possibly but reverse swing out of nowhere can defeat the best of them.

 

[Flem274*]

Thakur is a rich man's CdG everywhere but NZ.

thakur is a hawke cup/county division 2 bowler at best.

even if you think he's a better bowler, cdg is light years ahead with the bat at every level they've played at. there's no comparison.

 

[Niall]

If that was a disqualification for selection we'd have literally one player in our top 7.

TBF to YJB, he is the only other English batter to crack 30 in the test other than Root so far...

In a perfect world someone says to him " You aren't good enough for test cricket, please just focus on the limited overs stuff where if you excel we can win world cups".

No shame in that really.

 

[honestbharani]

See how reverse swing out of nowhere can defeat decent batsmen @Flem274*

You do know that CdG is a troll cricketer right?

 

[Flem274*]

You do know that CdG is a troll cricketer right?

your post is missing the part where you explain how a bowler who bats a little bit (and that's generous - he barely has fc batting credentials, kyle jamieson is better) is better than a genuine allrounder who bowls to the same standard.

cdg has some of the most natural timing of any nz player i've seen with solid technique, he's just a complete idiot. you're on terrible ground here, and you should have attacked me calling thakur a hawke cup bowler which was the troll part of the post. the rest is true.
