This has been by far the worst 10 or so pages I've had to look through, apologies to everyone who had to put up with it and thanks to most of you for not responding. Flibbertyjibber, practically nothing you posted in this thread over the last 24 hours was appropriate, for various reasons, and most of it has now been deleted.

Why?

Has some of the other stuff been deleted too?

Yeah sooner or later someone, Afridi perhaps, will get after him, hit him for 60 off seven overs say, and that'll be his lot. Would still prefer Blackwell or Patel in the 2nd spinner's role notwithstanding fitness 'issues.'
Despite his weight (which I dont reckon is as bad as people say) Patel was epic in the field when Notts where on Sky. It's a shame he hasn't been picked as he's been in great form in limited overs this season.

Yardy's got a few **** on him aswell to be fair.

Thenn has 23 runs @ 23 with a HS of 22*

Massive Sammy fan here, but he seems to be inflating if anything.

Think it's more his fitness rather than his size per se that's the prob tho. Constantly failed to make the targets set for him after warnings.

Pacing is definitely becoming an issue, we will need to look at that if we want to win the World Cup again. Bowling is lacking that attacking spinner, as really that is the main difference between the teams bowling attack. England don't have an out and out quick, they just have two spinners that can stall the innings. Of course that is probably partly due to our poor playing of spin.

Broad 14th quickest in history to reach 100 ODI wickets, and equals Darren Gough's record as the fastest Englishman to do so.

I guess I shouldn't reply to posts attacking me 10 pages ago...

Anyway, another disappointing loss. Our team just looks so weak and selections aren't really helping either. I'm just presuming that the selectors are experimenting now rather when it actually matters - As in, the Australian press aren't going to murder them in the middle of our winter while distracted by the soccer.

Hazelwood and Harris need to play in the next game, Mckay deafinately shouldn't play another game in the series, that was pathetic, Ponting needs a decent knock real soon aswell.

Agree. Just a shame it took people this long to realize McKay is a nothing bowler, it was evident ever since he made his Test debut.

Nah, he is a decent enough bowler but he is deafinately not a good option for us in ODI cricket, and there are a few better Test match options better than him aswell IMO.
