and of course he got dropped early on today.BoyBrumby said:Err, I think you'll find that Trescothick is an anomaly who has simply been very, very lucky. He's certainly not a fine player like Mark Butcher who, although he averages more than 10 runs less per test innings & constantly spunks his wicket away when well set, is clearly a better player. As I've proved.

I think it was Neil who predicted that Lewis might roll us in early English, looks like that statement might be on accurate.Gloucefan said:

First change is Broad and Clarke, tho...

Maybe it's time for some kneejerk reactions. He should be the third seamer after Hoggard and Flintoff.chaminda_00 said:

If we keep playing like this we aren't even going to beat Holland.Samuel_Vimes said:Maybe it's time for some kneejerk reactions. He should be the third seamer after Hoggard and Flintoff.

Are you saying you will beat Holland if you just play well??? Hah!
<cough>
Indeed, let's hope your form doesn't improve at all between now and early July. Two ODI wins for the Dutch would do nicely, thank you.
Anyway, you will be playing at VRA, where the VideoCon Cup was held two years ago amid *******ial rain on a wicket that was turning square...more Sri Lanka's cup of tea then.
EDIT: that's funny...t.o.r.r.e.n.t. is on the blacklist; I guess this use is OK though

Well we lost to Bangladesh lately and IMO Holland aren't that far below them. If we don't start pulling our finger out and start playing some decent cricket, anyone can beat us. The way we are playing i can see Ryan ten 'whatever' scoring a quaity hundred against us and getting Holland over the line.Steulen said:

Completely agree. It's not as if Mahmood is doing anything to justify selection at present, and in a one-off situation with 3 of our 1st choice 5 unavailable you have to go for the guy who might actually help you win the game.Samuel_Vimes said:
EDIT
Just looked at the scorecard - both openers gone for zero. Hoggard must be loving this!

To be fair, Mahmood did get two wickets this morning, too.wpdavid said:

It's an ODI. Counties have to give up players for ODIs. I think it's in the rules somewhere.Steulen said:Ryan ten Whatever will probably be playing for Essex at the time...but maybe Van Bunge can do it
..even for DUTCH odi's??
Every time there's a team to be selected, the presence of Ten Doeschate is an issue because of county commitments. And of course there's theoretically a huge difference between refusing to release a player and telling him he will be out of the 1st XI if he goes to play for 'his' country.
