Group A - Australia, Bangladesh, England, New Zealand

[The Hutt Rec]

ICC Champions Trophy Squad

Good to see Anderson, McClenaghan and Milne back.

Great to see those three back ... it feels like a really long time since they've played for NZ!

Amazing, but not unexpected, that Ronchi gets a spot. Surely with the amount of time until we play again after this, his international swansong.

 

[Howsie]

Wow a NZ squad that is actually spot on.

You're joking right?

Ronchi is the worst international cricketer going around, Latham isn't a one day player. Neil Broom has proven not to be up to it. Anderson shouldn't be there, he hasn't proven anything since coming back from injury. And please don't get me started on that bowling group.

The sooner Hesson and Pizza Boy are fired the better, they have lost the plot

1. Martin Guptill
2. Tom Latham
3. Kane Williamson (c)
4. Ross Taylor
5. Neil Broom
6. Corey Anderson
7. Colin de Grandhomme
8. Mitchell Santner
9. Adam Milne
10. Jeetan Patel
11. Trent Boult

Reserves:
Mitchell McClenaghan
Tim Southee
Luke Ronchi
Jimmy Neesham

It's not a terrible squad. Henry's absence is a little baffling, though. Along with Boult and Milne, they make up the three best ODI fast bowlers we have - so it's a bit stupid to see him miss out. Moves I would have made:

Henry in for Southee
Bruce in for Broom
Blundell in for Ronchi
Kuggeleijn in for McClenaghan
Maybe Worker in the squad as well. Possibly for someone like Neesham or just a direct swap with Latham.

england to threaten 500 v bangladesh

nah, come one. England's bowling isn't that bad

 

[Black_Warrior]

nah, come one. England's bowling isn't that bad

What does the data say?

 

[ImpatientLime]

nah, come one. England's bowling isn't that bad

oh i see what you did there.

i implied englands batsman may get to 500 v bangladesh but because i didn't specify it you implied that infact englands somewhat underwhelming bowling attack may come in for some welly instead. very cunning indeed. this of course all driven by the fact that you are somewhat of a flip flopping bangladesh fan.

a ha ha ha ha....

Bangers attack > Englands

See that makes no sense. My avvie is BD player. I supported BD over India in every match the two sides have faced in. Not once in my life have I rooted against BD. I was involved in the Nat setup for BD in Battrick, FTP and Stumped.

Flip-flopping Indian fan? Sure. Newbie bandwagoner for Hong Kong? Fair enough. But I'm as committed a BD fan as you'll ever see.




Which is why us thrashing your lot will be so much fun. I bet England still have the scars from the Test match #Dhaka2016 #NeverForget

It's not just that Test match you ****

28th Match, Group B: Bangladesh v England at Chittagong, Mar 11, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

James Anderson gave up on ODI cricket because he still has nightmares of Shafiul Islam tonking him over long on


33rd Match, Pool A: Bangladesh v England at Adelaide, Mar 9, 2015 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

And this is what traumatised Morgan and he opted to skip the Bangladesh tour a year later

yeah but you spend most of your time in match threads determined to post about how they'll go down in flames rather than actually doing well. that's the flopping

Out of interest, when does this tourney finish up? The young bloke is touring the UK from late June, he might be able to catch a game if they have time.

90% of the time that is just an honest appraisal.

Bollocks....you can't be. You can't be committed to a horse when you've got 2 horses in the race /end of.

And how easy is it to shrug off a loss when you can play this card............

I feel bad for ***** and AZH.

Said after England were mopping up the tail in the first Banga test (and in a moment of weakness from myself not realising what would transpire in the second!!)

Yea don't feel too bad for me. I'm going to be lapping it all in when Ashwin is ripping England apart later this year.

AZH is the real victim here

That's just ****ed up on so many levels.

Edit:

***** you know I'm a fan, but seriously dude you've got to sort this **** out.........for your own good matey.
