Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Test cricket

How on earth can you say that???!
You seem to be under the illusion that test cricket is some incredible tactical battle that hasn't been seen since Garry Kasparov took on that 'Deep Blue' computer programme at chess a long time ago

Test cricket is a more boring long winded drawn out version of the one day game (which in itself is not that interesting but sort of ok to watch if there is nothing else on)

Are you really honestly saying you would prefer to watch a game where the run rate in a days play (if it's not ruined by rain) is averaging about one run every 3 balls at the very most?

WHY??!

Oh dear.

d040.gif ....Oh dear indeed.....Look, I find Golf very, very tedious, yet I respect that some find it entertaining.

Just accept you are on the wrong thread to start throwing about 'Cricket is boring' barbs.

Is it 3-0 now?
We seem to be good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Nowhere near the jaws of victory yesterday, a poor batting performance (again) as the selectors desperately try to justify picking Prior for the World Cup.

Given the luxury of multiple failures accorded to some further down the order, Davies must be wondering exactly what he's done wrong.

Quote: Prince of Denmark "Our best batting all-rounders are probably Samit Patel, Ian Blackwell and Ravi Bopara, all out of favour for whatever reason. (Well, we know why Patel & Blackwell are out of favour, they simply doesn't take their fitness seriously enough.) Yardy is a more talented batsman than bowler, but not an ideal ODI batsman. The non-bowling pair of Strauss & Trott shouldn't both be accommodated in this team, and as Strauss is captain (and the more pragmatic batsman) Trott really should be omitted; like Yardy (and Alistair Cook) he isn't really suited to this form of the game.

Agree with all the other points. Luke Wright bowls an average of less than four overs per match in his ODI appearances and isn't good enough to be in for his batting, and none of the wicketkeepers used in the past couple of years is suited to opening the batting, but most of them are good enough to keep wicket and bat at 6 or 7. England's selectors have got most calls right in recent times, but I can't for the life of me understand the strategy than the wicketkeeper must open the batting in ODIs.


This looks a better-balanced team to me than the one we're likely to see


it was made fairly clear why Samit Patel is out of favour last week

Back to 'Business as Usual' for the English batsman today, after the good display at Adelaide, slumping to a heavy defeat.

Despite a record 10th Wicket Partnership of 53 from Finn and Anderson, England still lose by 51 runs with 5 overs of the innings remaining.

According to the radio commentators covering today's game Rashid is doing really well in the Aussie T20. They suggested that he might be a better bet than Treadwell.

I think most sane people have known this for a fair while now. Even a Red Rose aficionado like me can see that Rashid is light years ahead of Tredwell in every single aspect of playing cricket. Whether he makes a better brew than him or not is another matter.

An England tour wouldn't be an England tour without a charwallah - Rashid's had a couple of goes, but clearly the tea wasn't up to standard for the Test portion of this tour so they needed to draft in Shahzad.

Just a shame for Samit Patel that they're too scared to let him have a go in case he eats all the biscuits.

On a more serious note, England's treatment of Rashid has been pathetic IMO. Any other major cricketing nation would have had him in at least the ODI and T20 side on a regular basis by now, and in the Test side for occasions where two spinners were needed.

England got their fingers burned by picking Chris Schofield when he was nowhere near ready all those years ago and are stubbornly refusing to take a risk on another young leg spinner.
