[Music]You love like a gun... the power is strong... when things turn bad and things go wrong...[/Music]His attitude and arrogance is just an illusion, when we win everybody goes "Oh Paul Nixon did so much work by looking happy and thinking he's great, what a gun"

Puts hand up where?*Puts up hand*
Pothas' FC average shouldn't have anything to do with his selection in a OD series but I don't know why Pothas wasn't picked. Nixon has more experience touring than Pothas perhaps?http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/46780.html
Pothas had an FC average of 50 last season i believe.
His attitude and arrogance is just an illusion, when we win everybody goes "Oh Paul Nixon did so much work by looking happy and thinking he's great, what a gun" and ignores what his acctual contribution to the game and when we lose everyone does the same still.
I don't give a toss how much he shouts behind the stumps, you pick players on ability, not perceived character traits which make a good headline.
I heard that was popular amongst your people.*Puts up hand*
What about his 35 Lista A average then?Pothas' FC average shouldn't have anything to do with his selection in a OD series but I don't know why Pothas wasn't picked. Nixon has more experience touring than Pothas perhaps?
On that note, when did Pothas qualify for England duty?
You don't know Nixon at all in the dressing room so you can't really comment on his influence on other players can you? And I think you're belittling the influence of mind on cricket teams and players.
From your line of thought, we may as well go and flippin' bring back Graeme Hick because he's still got ability hasn't he?
Puts hand up where?
Not really, no, he was batting at five in ODers last season and before that the last time he had a good OD season was 2000.From your line of thought, we may as well go and flippin' bring back Graeme Hick because he's still got ability hasn't he?
Well he'd do better than Strauss in ODIs, I'm sure..From your line of thought, we may as well go and flippin' bring back Graeme Hick because he's still got ability hasn't he?
TBH, not surprising coming from the man who said this.open365 said:People seem to be kidding themselves into believing that cricket is a team game and that untangible things like Paul Nixon's perceived attitude make a big difference to the side's performance.
And waves it like he just don't care.*Raises hand*
One could make a case for Andrew Symonds in test matches.When was the last time you saw a specialist fielder being picked for a national side?
If it's not B*Witched it's SClub7...And waves it like he just don't care.

The Dutch keeper, Smits, bats at 10 or 11, and wicket-keeping is technically fielding, so there's a serious one.
