AndyJR 0 Posted June 14, 2009 All the Pacemen did well. Still worries me how reliant on KP we are but there we are!! Thought Napier or Key might have got a game as Wright seems to have been found out a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Pirate 0 Posted June 14, 2009 Yep, once we have won the 20/20 competition, the Ashes, Murray wins Wimbledon, we get promoted to the championship and England win the world cup I''ll be a happy man ( I wonder what the odds are on that ? ). [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyJR 0 Posted June 14, 2009 If we get lucky and KP plays the way he can then we have a chance. Not sure about Luke Wright but then would you take him out of the side knowing full well on his day, he''s a match winner......All a little irrelevant considering the main event; The Ashes. Come on England!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 4,938 Posted June 14, 2009 Agreed. I really enjoyed the game, although I''m not a fan of the 20/20 idea in general. Funny that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LQ 0 Posted June 15, 2009 That was a great game yesterday - bit close for comfort towards the end when it looked like they might pull something out of the bag, but well played to us!What are the odds if you combine that with a British winner at the Grand Prix too?

Captain Holt 515 Posted June 15, 2009 Drop Mascerenarse and play Napier FFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted June 15, 2009 Big game today then, and we have an outside chance of topping the table too with a SA loss to India. After spanking them left right and centre this summer im a bit worried they will take this one, but our bowling should see us through.I dont think Napier is the answer, other than that one innings of 150 odd he hasnt done anything of note. Only averages 18 in county One day matches, infact I believe him to be a better bowler than batsman. Personally I think the batting lineup we have right now is spot on, it isnt the best, and certainly without KP its thin, but I dont think theres any better out there. The likes of Luke Wright and Owais Shah are great on their day, but their day is all too rare unfortunaetly. Id say our only geniune class limited overs batsman right now is KP, with Bopara not far off.Either way I cant see any further than South Africa or Sri Lanka for the title.

Captain Holt 515 Posted June 15, 2009 Mascerenhas and Shah would not get into any other international side IMO. Give Morgan and Napier a go. Can''t do any worse can they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LQ 0 Posted June 15, 2009 It''s Broad who''s got me stumped (see what I did there?) [:P]Quite how he manages to go from hero to zero in the same match is beyond me - TWICE! Brilliant boundary catch and then cox up for the run-out.Let''s face it, not many of them are exactly world-beaters, but they''re ''our not world-beaters'' so I''ll stay on the edge of my seat.
