Actually it's not, England did it with Blackwell at least two years ago. Only thing was it didn't work - and it hasn't worked this time either, Blackwell bowled for 9 off 11 balls. Brilliant.adharcric said:Duncan Fletcher is the bloody copycat, considering it's Chappell's move.

English batsmen dont like slower delivery. In Pakistan it was Shoaib, here it is Pathan. I wonder why we didn't try it in test series .Jono said:Pathan bowls Blackwell
His slower delivery is foxing England lol!
Well I guess in tests Pathan was bowling his slower deliveries all the time.

He can always go slower. He should've tried 50 mph.Sanz said:English batsmen dont like slower delivery. In Pakistan it was Shoaib, here it is Pathan. I wonder why we didn't try it in test series .

Shah gone, England needing a miracle.
Once again I say it - Bell > Shah.

I really hope Shah doesn't play for you guys in the Ashes, because the chinks in his armor will easily be exploited by thinking bowlers like McGrath (won't even get to Warne). His technique is unconventional and keeping an off-stump line to him can tie him up.Barney Rubble said:Shah gone, England needing a miracle.

I don't mind him in Tests, he's got a lot of shots and seems to have a fairly good temperament - I just have no idea what he did to get himself into the ODI side ahead of Bell, who has been waiting for a chance at somewhere higher than 6 in the order for ages. Not to mention the fact that Bell got 71 in the warm-up where Shah got 0!adharcric said:

That's taken as read, though. I was discounting the fact that Shaw was deemed too good to be allowed to play international cricket.steds said:

Hey! I feel obliged, as a Somerset fan, to defend him - not that I have any grounds for doing so....cricket_fan23 said:
