simon jones seems to be bowling like he was in the WI....complete rubbish so far this innings

why should jones be dropped?he has shown quite a bit of improvement since the WI tour.

The King of Spain is on. Let the bashing commence.

i dont know if you actually watch any cricket or just look at the scoreboard.....simon jones bowled brilliantly in the first innings.

 

[Loony BoB]

Love that 4sight camera. That shot of Jones' dismissal was brilliant.

OK.

So that's Trescothick out, Jones, Giles and Hoggard.
You don't like Flintoff, Harmison or Hussain much, so they can go too.

I can't remember whether you think that Butcher and Thorpe are FTB's so I'll ignore them for now. Strauss is probably safe, Geraint Jones is nowhere near the best keeper in England so he's safe in the side.

Any advances on seven changes for TEC's team for Headingley?

No, he bowled dreadfully as usual. He only got his first two wickets because Flintoff was bowling well at the other end putting the batsman under pressure so they tryed to attack the looser bowler at the other end and played one shot too many. If Flintoff had not been bowling at the other end Jones would not have got those wickets. His third wicket was an unlucky bottom edge from a short and wide pie of a delivery.

Just backing up the commentators, Richardson and McCullum are very good with their calling and running. For two people you don't expect to be in together too often, they work extremely well together.

Where does McCullum normally bat?

never said jones should be out of the side, hes just bowled really badly today in contrast to his first innings performance.
hoggard seems to be ineffective on any wicket where the ball dont move about.i dont think i need to say much about giles.

You don't like Flintoff,.

since when?since rating him as the best all rounder in the world and putting him on my current world XI side?

Harmison.

really? i think you've mistaken me for richard.

or Hussain

i think strauss and collingwood are younger players close to hitting their primes.

Geraint Jones is nowhere near the best keeper in England so he's safe in the side.

hes already scored more runs than chris read has on the entire tour of the WI. considering boucher and stewart both struggled last yr in england i dont see why his keeping in this test match should be questioned.

you dont get 4 maiden overs in a row with one bowler bowling loosely at the other end. seems to me like you are making comments again on players you never watched play.

haha. Flintoff - the best allrounder in the world.

Ever heard of Kallis, Pollock, Cairns, Oram or Streak?

 

[tooextracool]

haha. Flintoff - the best allrounder in the world.

and who would your best all rounder in the world be?murali?

 

[a massive zebra]

and who would your best all rounder in the world be?murali?

Your mad. Murali is about as close as Brian Lara to being the best allrounder in the world.

 

[Loony BoB]

Where does McCullum normally bat?

6-8 in NZ, McCullum at 3 in Canterbury but Richardson doesn't play for that domestic team.

 

[tooextracool]

precisely why you would rate him as the best allrounder in the world.

Right over your head, mate. Whoosh.

 

[a massive zebra]

But I dont rate him as the best allrounder in the world. He is not even an allrounder.

How can someone with one 50 in over 100 Test innings and a batting average similar to Darren Gough be thought of as an allrounder?

You comments are quite frankly beyond belief.

since most of you're arguments seem completely illogical i assumed that you would rate someone like murali as the best all rounder in the world.i still havent got an answer as to who you rate as the best all rounder in the world?

So is that one. You DO live in the UK, right? You've read the posts by people of the likes of Eddie and Richard and co, you should have learned the arts of sarcasm and rhetoric by now.
