England in West Indies

plus it would be risky playing Rashid in an important game when there is a more experienced alternative.

But on that basis you would never take a punt with a new player as there will always be more experienced alternatives. And this comes from a Worcester fan

I wouldn't of picked Batty for the tour but he has out bowled Rashid in the warm-up game.

 

[Sureshot]

sorry didn notice Batty.

Can you be an England selector, please?

ahahha at 1st when I looked at Robs team I didn't see Batty so I thought he was going in without a spinner but when I went over the XI I saw him so I had to change my post.

It appears we are sticking with Bopara and Davies. I hope Davies can score some runs because Nigel will be all over me if he doesn't.

Ok England, time to man up and pick Rashid. Forget Batty, we know what he is capable of, take a risk, have a punt. :upray

 

[King Pietersen]

It appears not Rob

England cop out again. Bopara will fail as he'll feel he has to be too aggressive batting with Strauss. Prior stupidly gets picked again despite showing a distinct lack of ability in ODi cricket. We're going to lose this series if we stick with this team.

 

[The_gas]

Meh, not a bad side all in all, but i would still of like to see Rashid in.

 

[RoboRocks]

Very strange. Davies played well in the Twenty20 top-scoring and yet they go for Prior who has 1 fifty in 30 ODI's!

 

[King Pietersen]

That is one of the worst deliveries I've ever seen take a wicket. An awful shot from Strauss to top it off as well. Shocking bowling from West Indies so far, without these wides England would be screwed!

 

[ZexyZahid]

11 wides in 7 overs already. Pietersen is coming at number 3. I didn't expect that. Personally I would let Shah come in at number 3.

 

[Skater]

Dear, Strauss did his Pietersen impression and was very convincing.

 

[King Pietersen]

Pietersen impression? :/

 

[aussie_ben91]

I was about to post, how good is Kevin Pietersen? Next ball he gets out.

 

[King Pietersen]

Awaits Lee slagging KP off for going for a lofted shot........

We need Bopara to get a score now. He needs to play an innings like the one he played coming in at 3 for Essex in the Pro40 where he made a glorious hundred.

Lol at the Windies crowd not understanding the Free-hit rule
