I'll be interested to see what fields he sets himself tbh. I always get the impression that Strauss and Cook, nice chaps that they may be, don't really know how to set a field for Swann.

So you think Swann has no input into the field he bowls to?! :wacko:

I would be astonished if Strauss doesn't basically give him every single field he asks for! Maybe the odd pre-planned thing, but not much!

I'm one of Taylor's biggest backers but I'm yet to see him play that great a T20 innings. Steve Davies the man who can feel hard done to here.

Come on, England!

As an England fan, I usually quite like West Indian cricket, and would normally be neutral during a series like this. But the level of contempt shown by West Indian cricketers towards the Twenty20 tour of England has so soured the feelings of me and a number of my friends (also England fans) that we'll all be cheering for England this series....

Yes, England cricket is awesome these days, but we certainly didn't need a number of West Indian 'stars' to rub our noses in it. The fact that they did means that we'll be cheering every time a certain West Indian player is bowled, or a certain West Indian bowler is hit for six.

Here's our blacklist:

Whoever doesn't come

We will all be cheering any time any of those fare badly (unfortunately as they won't be here, that will limit our opportunities but I'll be damned if I'm not going to bleat about it like a little girl)....

Our commiserations to West Indies on their forthcoming loss.

FTR, we're all united in acknowledging Sachin Tendulkar as our favourite Indian batsman, with Gambhir close second, and we are glad this duo didn't visit the West Indies - give the ****s a taste of their own medicine. Good luck also to Dhoni, who skipped the ODIs.

And may Zaheer get loads of wickets in the future....

But in the end, we really hope England wins.

I guess it was a bit much to expect an intelligent thread on this topic on this forum....
8-)
Personally, I'm insulted that England have chosen to rest so many players for this pointless 20/20 series - LOL!

But if you're going to rest players, it's better to do it for pointless 20/20s, than for Tests and ODIs....
