***Official*** England in India

[adharcric]

So does Inzamam predicts like "India(or Pak) will crush Australia in Six months" or that "dhoni will k__k English A-- "???

No, but his English is just as broken.
Inzy: "Boys played well. I lose match. Insha Allah."

"MONTY PANESAR SHOULD BE ADD IN TEAM BECAUSE HE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE IN FIRST TEST MATCH"

"ON A TURNING & BOUNCY PITCH WHEN YOUR ALL ENGLAND BATSMEN FACE KUMBLE, HARBHAJAN THEY WILL BE FORGET THE BATTING"

Why must 99% of trolls be Indian?

It gives all the rest of us a bad name.

 

[Sanz]

Nah, make it 2 bowlers and bring back Kambli as well!

Just make sure that the bowlers can hit big 6s because that's crucial when picking bowlers...

I think you missed the sarcasm there

No, it's a completely different idiot this time. And the filter is there for a reason...

Sehwag's ODI batting doesn't warrant him a place in the team by a long chalk.

99% of them were 1 person with mulitple sign-ins

No, because I have always had the same viewpoint - Lara and Inzamam are older, but haven't been playing as long - and that is a point I have been making for a long time now (in excess of 12 months)

So lets go back 12 months in time. Tendulkar had played 1989-2005. 15-16 years.

No come back to the present -

Inzamam ul haq 1992-2006 - 14 years. Lara 1991-2006. 15 years around. And they are both older than Tendulkar too (you said you do give some importance to the age factor as well).

So how have Lara and Inzamam managed to perform then?

In an effort to defend Somerset hero and all round good egg Ian Blackwell, I've worked out his FC averages at home and away - the fact that he plays his home games at Taunton has always distorted his figures. Here they are:

FC batting at Taunton: 55.04
FC batting elsewhere: 33.09

FC bowling at Taunton: 45.34
FC bowling elsewhere: 34.57

So, in summary, he's a decent county all-rounder, but he's probably not a Test match player. Which is what we all knew all along, anyway, really.

[Barney Rubble]

The point of this post being?

Firstly, to prove that he's not quite completely useless, and secondly, to prove that his FC bowling average away from Taunton doesn't actually make him that much worse than some other spinners who've been in and around the England squad in recent years.

Basically, go Blackie!

Just another demonstration of the saying:

Derbyshire born and Derbyshire bred, strong in t'arm an' weak in t'ead

Oh, wait....

Another racist remark.

Of course he isn't. His name isn't Shaun Udal, for a start...

 

[Barney Rubble]

Another racist remark.

OK Pratyush, give it a rest now.

(and incidentally, Richard has now apologised in an email, so I think the subject can be dropped by everyone now. )
