Maybe the "official" team could use Miss Bassingwaithe if she gets padded up.

Anyone think the tour will go ahead? I think harmison will pull out and if a few others follow pietersen might bring the entire team home so its a collective decision and no players will carry the can on their own.

This is why one day and 20/20 is rubbish. We can actually field a decent test side.

x-post Yeah we're consistently competitive in Tests, even if we've been a bit disappointing over the last year or 2. A series win or draw would be good with the Aussies looming on the horizon.
But yeah let's not get carried away!

There's a gloating thread well in operation already. And better still, it's on King Boy Pato's own board.

They're gonna panic and bring back Warne to win the Ashes.

Warne's been commentating during this test, he is prob less awful than healy.

Mark Taylor should not be allowed to commentate cricket (eom)

xp also he's looking pretty trim
― Filmer Thomas (wilter), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 01:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Warne's an all-round better thinker, talker and player than Healy, should sign him up permanently tbh

It would be really sad and desperate if the Aussies did bring Warne back, and it might win them the Ashes, but what good will it do in the long term? it's more or less telling an entire generation they're not good enough. Warne isn't gonna play on for another 5-10 years til someone comes through.

Jason Krejza is the long term soloosh imo

So LJ, Bell makes the squad. I like Bell, but he must be dropped. He's lacking confidence and needs back in the county championship to make some runs along with Vaughan. Give Shah a chance lord knows he deserves it. But if Vaughan has a good start to the county season he's gotta be no3 unless all the batsmen fire against the WI.

it might win them the Ashes, but what good will it do in the long term?
sentences that contradict/answer themselves, part 4573 in a series
pfunkboy that is all manifest, shah should have been in for india. you are far too cynical about the likelihood of vaughan's inclusion. i'm telling ya, he's definitely played his last game for england
― claudestock carpentinieri (country matters), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 01:42 (fifteen years ago) link
"he's gotta be no. 3"
frankly insane use of "gotta", the man has patently lost it
― claudestock carpentinieri (country matters), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 01:46 (fifteen years ago) link
It's Thorpe all over again. Assuming Bell does play against WI and he does fail, clearly Shah isn't considered good enough. So who will come in if not MV? He has a great record against the Aussies. (all depending what he does at the start of the season for Yorkshire though)Shah is no Pietersen so I don't see a massive campaign for him to replace Bell or Vaughan unless he hits a few centuries in the Caribbean.

And LJ I assume you don't want Monty to play?
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 01:49 (fifteen years ago) link
Hey, Mark Ramprakash averages over 40 against the Aussies. He's a dead cert, surely.
Thorpe was still run-hungry and his exile from the team was not form-related. The situation is completely different.
Shah is considered good enough to make all the squads. If he wasn't considered good enough, he'd have stayed home with the ODI specialists.
Plenty of young(er) batsmen are making a mark at county level, and would be considerably better bets than a past-it Vaughan. This rhetoric ("who else but Vaughan?") is the wistful pandering rhetoric of the inane tabloid presses.
Don't assume Bell will fail against the Women's Institute. Don't assume he'll start ahead of Shah.
Monty is a terrible cunt and I'd rather see Rashid or even Swann eventually usurp him. Start with Panesar, though, because nothing gives confidence like a West Indies tailender. N.B. the tail starts at 2 and temporarily secedes for Chanderpaul. Maybe he'll get something guileful into that empty skull of his.
― claudestock carpentinieri (country matters), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 01:54 (fifteen years ago) link
N.B. You'll probably interpret it literally, so I'll inform you now that the Ramprakash thing was a sarcastic joke.
