*Official* English Domestic Season (2004)

He must have spoken to Shane Warne while the pair where playing in a pre season game at Canterbury, Warney must have given, opps la la la la la la latwctopcat said:I'll take your word for it. Something must have changed to score the amount he has.
Being serious (i know scary stuff) I read Key made a tiny tiny change in his techinque and it has made all the difference.
Now if he had just done that a year ago when he couldn't buy a run he might have still been in the England set up! But in a interview Key said that he has tasted the big time and wants to be back there, and feels that he now understands the step up and will be alot better equiped to handle it, lets hope so

Good on him, i won't moan if a man averaging Bradman figures gets in the setup, even though i haven't seen any of his batting. All i can remember is ashes '03 when he kept getting set, then getting out (to the likes of Steve Waugh) which didn't reflect well. Do you think he'll be fighting for a middle order slot or opening?Rich2001 said:He must have spoken to Shane Warne while the pair where playing in a pre season game at Canterbury, Warney must have given, opps la la la la la la la

oh great now hes showing us pics of key(of all people)?! oh commone having to look at him in your avatar is bad enough!Rich2001 said:Hey the guy has lost lots of weight now, the boys at Kent have'ed him into shape and Marc's Uncle just snapped him at a bad momment.
<<<< Couple of years back
Now (see attachment)
If he was given the choice he would def' want the opening slot, but unless Vaughan makes an impact @ 4 then it's going to make life hard as he will take the opening slot back if he fails I would guess.twctopcat said:
But I think Key is one of those players that would just love to be in the side wherever and then once he has impressed demand the openers slot

On a side note Worcs finally finding their feet in Div1, we'd be right up near top if we hadnt let Kent chase 400+ 4th innings in our first game.

Eyes not spreadsheets
Still not as good as the Bears - we also seem to have a rotating ball policy whereby Knight can chuck it to almost any of our top or middle order (Wagh, Bell, Trott, Troughton) and they outperform our International bowlers!
Bell in particular is most bizarre - 4-1-4-4 yesterday!

Yep i had noticed that, Bell really is becoming the good medium pacer now, if he keeps up his form with both bat and ball he has to be in contention for a Test place b4 too long, certainly a one day place as he's bowling is far better than collingwoods.marc71178 said:
Also Wagh seems to becoming a good spinner there
Marc what is Bell's actual style of bowling, Does he literally just run in and bowl a line and a lenght and the batsman think it's easy runs? or does he get some swing/seam movement a bit like Mark Ealham for example, or is it a bit more Butcher/Trescothick.SpaceMonkey said:Yep i had noticed that, Bell really is becoming the good medium pacer now, if he keeps up his form with both bat and ball he has to be in contention for a Test place b4 too long, certainly a one day place as he's bowling is far better than collingwoods
