***Official*** NatWest Series/Challenge

[12th Man]

the england team selection for the challenge is in half an hour.

does anyone expect changes???

There will need to be a sub.

My guess is the same as the final, but with Solanki as the sub. For Australia, I'd guess the same as the final with Watson as the sub, although really Kasprowicz should come in for Hussey, and Hussey should be the sub.

 

[Steulen]

The gamble is that you use a lower order batsman as a sub and hope you don't need him if batting first. If you do, you're then a bowler light, much like on Saturday.

 

[Gloucefan]

Could this be the end of Geraint Jones for ODI's? Bring in a better gloveman and sub him for an all rounder.

u mean after his effort at the final? Would be the worst drop ever, IMO.

Ali sent back where he belongs.

Won't see him playing for England for a while I expect.

 

[Pratters]

No one answered this on the substitution thread. Perhaps this thread would be more appropriate. How good a fielder is Prior?

I haven't forgotten his performance the other day, I do like him but he isn't the best gloveman around eligable for England. He plays because he is a good batsman also.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Not sure how *good* he is - he's certainly none-too-shabby, that's for sure, but not in the Collingwood/Solanki class. Around the same level as KP, I'd guess.

Are you talking about Jones' batting or Prior's fielding? The latter I hope...

Prior's fielding. Hitting QR and not ticking quote properly...

Well as he is a wicketkeeper I wouldn't compare prior to Collingwood or Solanki, I'm told even at 23 he's a better gloveman than Jones.

You do know that he's a keeper? Bit dodgy I think but i guess you learn fast standing up to Mushtaq

This post was also seen in the book "The Dummies Guide to the "Shift" Key"

Actually its in the "accidently left the caps lock key on and couldnt be f*cked changing it". Try it and see for yourself

But everything other than the first letter of every word was in lower-case, meaning that you would've had to hold down the Shift key... surely it would've been easier to turn Caps Lock off?

Nah, the CW filter (known to us as "little Hinton") sorted him, Making His Sentence Look Even Dafter In The Process.
