This is lways a "wrong" thread TBH, I feel vaguely dirty for starting it.Oops sorry, wrong thread.
Not that it would make it the wrong decision but haven't we heard this a good five or six times before?if he get's the gig, and things **** up he'll be in prime form and no excuses, then we can draw a line through him and look elsewhere..
I think some of the times he's been called up he hasn't been in form at all.Not that it would make it the wrong decision but haven't we heard this a good five or six times before?
Probably not in test cricket. he's barely played since the 2009 Ashes has he? iirc a couple of tests against India and that's all.Not that it would make it the wrong decision but haven't we heard this a good five or six times before?
I'm guessing the main reason is that he doesn't have an account here.If you're wondering why Andrew Strauss hasn't posted in this thread, go find his interview after the 09 Ashes and check out the list of players he thanks.
tbf Cook gifted SA a wicket when he named Bopara in the XI.And the only one of the first six wickets not to be absolutely gifted to SA today.
