What?! One that spins?
Just a Saqlain ‘modelled’ wrong'un from what I can gather.

Im sure the pommy batsmen are too.....Looking forward to see Hitchcock bowl.
Anderson's economy-rates in the 10 games last summer were 2.87, 7.80, 5.10, 2.30, 5.60, 3.49, 3.93, 6.00, 9.87 and 3.11. The games I'd classify him as having bowled well in were the 1st, 4th and 10th. His figures looked good (indeed, excellent, when he'd been gifted 2 late wickets in each) in the 5th and 6th. But I don't feel he bowled well, at all. And certainly he didn't bowl well or close to in the other 5.In half of the matches he played his economy was 4.20, 2.90, 4.00, 3.00, 3.80, 3.75, 2.87, 2.30, 3.49, 3.93, 3.11, 3.75, 4.37, 3.30 so I wouldn't say he played well only 3 times out of 10.
True, but still, if the situation is reversed in ODIs those games can be written-off totally, IMO.With regard to the meaningless games I am saying he bowled better than the other bowlers in the squad.
I have never, ever set any stall at all by the LG Rankings, for any player.How did he manage to get into the top 15 in the ODI bowling rankings?
What better opportunity to get back in it?A couple early wickets, and the Kiwi middle order is out of practice...
Wright wouldn't have been selected if not for his bowling, so you can't level that at him.Oh, yeah, on the Bopara out for Wright thing... still think Wright's about the worst batsman I've ever seen picked for a ODI for England, but Bopara needs a break.
Here goes Sidebottom...
And starts with a wide.
Nah. O'Brien is considerably better than the shower of **** that is Hitchcock.Hitchcock playing is probably preferable to O'Brien, but he's still crap.
Wright has bowled 2 overs in his 2 ODIs. He has been picked exclusively because they honestly think that because of 2 or 3 decent innings that he's going to be ODI-class with bat alone.Wright wouldn't have been selected if not for his bowling, so you can't level that at him.
Sorry, I simply refuse to believe that anyone can be considerably better than O'Diren. I know Hitchcock's bad, I certainly do, but the worst he can be is as bad as him.Nah. O'Brien is considerably better than the shower of **** that is Hitchcock.
