:P:P:P:P:P

Which one? I've made a few recently.

 

[marc71178]

Well...you would :P

I always have been against him as he's too old to start a career at the expense of youngsters IMO.

I know Gough and Flintoff and Tudor are here but who will come out as a back-up????

Who knows with our selectors.....

My kit's packed, and I'm awaiting the call!

:P:P:P:P:P:P

Beefy did it first, and in worse conditions.

What do u classify as worse conditions???

AB done it in 30-40 degree heat...
and it was all up hill...:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

 

[marc71178]

You would... it's Neil and Me :P

Who do you think Marc???

I've heard rumours about Anderson.

Bicknell, using Marc's favourite argument, he is too old now...at 34 he is only likely to have 1 maybe 2 seasons left in him.

You mean you would put a rookie 34 year old in?

If hes a good enough bowler then why not?

And how can you say he's good enough?

He's about 8 years too old to have a chance for England.

He's younger than Caddick :P

So u staying up to watch the cricket again today, i mean u have to see Haydo's hit hit 200...

How long you going to stay up for - till the 2nd Test?

2nd, your being nice aren't you Marc

Not with our attack, and I can't see Aus needing to bat again.

Strange, I was allways brought up thinking the lower the average the better, but obviously not...

How can u say that???

I mean if a guy has 10 wkts @ 10 from 100 overs and another guy has 30 wkts at @ 30 from 100 overs who would u take???

10 @ 10 is conceding 1 an over.
30 @ 30 is conceding 9 an over.

But I see your point.

I've heard rumours about Anderson.

Anderson's in Australia with the academy...so he wouldn't take long to meet up with the England Squad...

Beefy did it in England!

But as I've said - Caddick is a lot more experienced, which makes a big difference.

My lack of catching ability is what put me on standby!

Quality over age though...but what about Kirtley? He's not only a good one day bowler...

 

[Rich2001]

Possible replacements for S.Jones (to be named in 24 hours)

- Anderson
- Saggers
- Sliverwood
- Cork
- Kirtley

Aggers just listed Mark (!) Saggers, Dominic Cork, Jimmy Anderson and Chris Silverwood.

Personally I'd call up Silverwood, but put Freddie in next game to bat 6 and share 3rd/4th seamer with Chalky.

If you seriously expect a 30+ year old with almost no experience to be called up ahead of a promising youngster, you're more stupid than I thought you were.

Face it, were going to lose this series - better to give someone like Anderson a go and give hm experience for the future.
