South Africa in England

Looked better. Do you mean technique? Flair? Or doing more than playing nice shots and then getting out for 30 runs. In that case:

KP
Collingwood
Cook
Broad
Strauss
Ambrose (at least he's able to grit it out for an hour or two)
Bell

You make this ridiculous baseless claims, venting your anger against English fans since you quite clearly have a bone to grind and then wonder why we're upset.

Here you are getting involved, simply because you are an English supporter, no other reason. Do you even know what was said by me that got Gas and evertonfan so worked up??
Why don't you first read, then come back and post, if you do read, you Will, will certainly see that am not the one venting anger, lol, why should I, what for???

 

[manee]

Let's end it there please.

Are you having a laugh? Thats one of the most ridiculous posts I have seen in ages!

Bell has looked in a lot better form than any of them. Ambrose averages around 25, colly has only got one score. Bell has looked far more comfortable! Yes okay he doesnt turn those score into big ones but has easily been englands best batsmen!

 

[Will_NA]

Holdenator, did you just say Bell was our best batsman even though he doesn't make big scores? You asked me to make a list and I made it because those batsman step to the fore when we need a score unlike Mr. Bell who's game is suited to coming it at 300/3.

 

[evertonfan]

Allow me to say that for all the critics he has, Ambrose is a right little scrapper. No one can say that he doesn't value his wicket.

 

[Ollie_H]

I may not be the sharpest tool in the box but I do know that 50 is bigger than , 20 bigger than 19, 31 bigger than 12, yes 4 is smaller than 36, 199 bigger than 4..

So Bell is a much better batsmen than Ambrose!

In this series Bell has looked our best batsmen who is finding it easy to score runs against the saffas along with KP.

Also I can't see how you can blame it on the bowlers for losing this series!

Yeah Okay Kev he is a little scrapper but he's just not scoring runs!

 

[Will_NA]

Riddle me this, if he's finding it so easy to score against the Saffas then why is his only score of note in 5 innings that 199 on a flat Lords track? Cook, Collingwood, KP and Broad have all scored since then but Bell (our best batsman) hasn't.

 

[evertonfan]

Don't get me wrong I wasn't heaping the praise on Ambrose, I was just throwing it out there that unlike certain players who will remain nameless, he doesn't give his wicket away.

It would take too long to name them all. Bell has scored 105 runs in his last 4 innings. He's a bottler I'm afraid. Unless, we're sitting pretty, he doesn't come to the party.

Okay fair doo's but Bell has looked the most fluent out of all of them...Collingwood's was an extremely good knock!

Don't worry Kev I know your not heaping the praise on him and I know he doesn't give his wicket away too easily but he has barely scored runs this series.

 

[Will_NA]

Why do you keep calling him Kev? :laugh

Why are you calling Evo, Kev?

 

[Ollie_H]

I don't know its late! Sorry Evo!

 

[evertonfan]

Why'd you keep calling me Kev? lol.

Lol, no worries. I thought i was getting old then.
