***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

Woakes not really making a case for subsequent selections, is he.

No, not really.

 

[stumpski]

I wonder what the chances of Woakes getting four overs are now.

Yeah he needs to disappear from the one day squad as soon as possible, is doing his career no favours.

 

[Cabinet96]

I never thought I'd say this, but it's time for Dernbach...

I think we can be reasonably sure he won't be more expensive than Woakes.

He'll be lucky to get two - Wright, Bopara and Tredwell are all better bets, and that's before you get to Dernbach and Stokes.

 

[theegyptian]

The omission of the second spinner already looking a bigger mistake than it did at the toss. Could take a long time to get through the 20 overs the way Morgan is going.

 

[Zinzan]

I don't think I have ever seen Franklin make a run.

Total waste of space. Usually gets a score once every 52 innings with the bat and bowls okay once every 25 games at the bowling crease.

 

[Expressway76]

I think Woakes' economy rate for his international career stands at about 15 at the moment.

 

[stumpski]

Not going to be Jade's day is it ....

 

[Pothas]

I never thought I'd say this, but it's time for Dernbach...

I have decided to no longer acknowledge his existence.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Why does Woakes get picked for the LO stuff he's gash in the format Bairstow another example who shouldn't be in the mix both of them are long from players.

 

[stumpski]

Why does Corey J Anderson always have his name written out in full on scorecards? Can't be another Corey Anderson playing, surely?

 

[Expressway76]

I'm hoping for a bit of Leprechaun style repartee/craic between Morgan and Rankin if they get to bat together..


"Dat was a two to run all day long, oi hit harder than yer mammee hits the buffet at a wedding"

 

[stumpski]

Not really a vacancy for Woakes in the Test team though, is there .... at least with these games he gets some time in an England shirt, even if it's not his forte.

 

[grecian]

I really hope Ravi drop a few catches off Stokes then runs him out, just for Scaly.

That's like picking Compton for the T20 side just to give him a swing of the bat in an England shirt.

 

[BeeGee]

Better than his dad.

 

[stumpski]

Historically England - and other teams - have been more likely to try out new players in one-day games than in Tests. Compton was different because they wanted a Test-style accumulator to take the place of Strauss.
