Trego came down here to play white ball cricket. Decent player. Always worth a hire.

that reminds me, Graham Napier

 

[Mr Miyagi]

I always get pelted with abuse on here for mentioning Trego as a (lost) England prospect, but he is a very fine cricketer and England lacked a decent allrounder between Fred and Stokes which was when Trego was at his peak.

You may have got pelted with abuse because your attack of

6 Collingwood
7 Prior wk
8 Bresnan
9 Swann/Broad
10 Broad/Swann
11 Jimmy Lara - son

meant you guys just batted forever, could still bowl sides out and won an ashes overseas (albeit with Tremlett subbing in) and went to number 1. I think England was a better side post Freddy, and the results somewhat support this.

Stodgy in the batting department and conservative in tactics for my liking - 2004-05 any day of the week.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah and slotting Trego in would make all the difference

 

[Borges]

Kick out Collingwood and put Trego in his place.

Having made that suggestion, now wait for the entire Durham crowd (three men and a dog) to rise up in arms.

Quite well supported actually, Durham.

I bet its only temporary support due to their star Argentinian striker

I wouldn't know who Flintoff was if Pidge hadn't stepped on a cricket ball in the Ashes, but I'm glad that I do - he does a half decent Elvis.

But Collingwood is so good he got an MBE. An MBE.

I'm merely joking, obviously, I support England every Ashes. You ruined my 90's more than Courtney Love did.

Colly has had a remarkable career,

- Four Ashes, three of them victories (yes, ''17 runs in 2005'' but he was still there). By far England's best player in the 2006-07 whitewash.
- Only England captain to lift an ICC trophy (World Twenty20 2010)
- Integral part of Durham's all-conquering 2007-09 squads, two back-to-back championships (2008-09) and one-day cups (2007).
- Became captain and saved Durham from relegation. The following year (2013) led Durham to a third county championship victory!

Hey - I'm not the one advocating dropping him for Trego

 

[S.Kennedy]

I didn't say ''drop him for Trego''. I would have had them both playing. Colly was more the outright batsman whenever he played for England. And no, I don't consider Stuart, ''hit on the head by an Indian in 2014 and subsequently blaming his drop in batting form for it'', Broad to be an allrounder.

Well seeing Tremlett filled in for him and Colly/Bres with Swann were around - I don't think that Broad was much the issue as an a/r as low as 10

But Colly is long gone 2014. You're in (dropped) Stokes era already.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There was a fine Canadian allrounder: Sunil Dhaniram.

Played well into his 40s

Ok. I know when I've been bested.

However, I am disappointed: buttressing arguments with statistics or facts is contrary to the spirit of this thread.
Let me give you a hint on how you should have proceeded: don't you realise that English is not my first language?

Ironic, really, because he did sweet FA in the three victories.

You certainly have your way with it though:

If I come across a toy, which looks like a grotesque cat-like creature, for which some electronic wizard had devised a mechanism by which if you pulled on its tail, it would make a loud squawking noise, I have this irresistible urge to test it at once by pulling its tail.

Though I hadn't really expected that this thing was programmed to emit its delightful caterwaul after a perceptible delay. Very clever idea that; very charming indeed!

You guys will never forget the name James Faulkner he was a wasted talent not given enough chances

The lack of Scott Kremerskothen here disturbs me
