South Africa in England

[Skater]

Pattinson doesn't look rubbish at all. The sort of control with the new ball we need.

 

[Leicester Fox]

He has got no wickets, he has not crashed a pedalo, he can't out drink Ricky Hatton. We need Flintoff.

Now that's what I call a post.

You aint a proper sportsmen until you've nearly killed yourself on a mode of water transport.

Come on England you legends!

Ambrose

Reason England are shite.

Rubbish selectors.

Ambrose is a joke clearly Foster should be the Keeper.
Vaughan is past it Shah should be in for him.
Broad is Broad decent with the bat and Ball but not good enough at Test Level Simon Jones should be in for him.
Panesar is a decent spinner and Rashid is a better Option than him and failing Rashid Saqlain Mushtaq is a better option.


So my England test team would be.

A.Cook
A.Strauss (Captain)
K.Pietersen
I.Bell
O.Shah
A.Rashid
J.Foster
A.Flintoff
S.Harmison (Deserves another chance his County Form Proves This)
R.Sidebottom
S.Jones


That Team is the best team England have.

Ok it seems Smith has taken a taste for Pattinson.

 

[evertonfan]

I wish these angry England fans would stop being so angry. We haven't even got to day 2 of the second Test and already they are demanding changes. Be more like me andf Joe. What's there to be mad about when we've got the greatest pedalo pilot in the world back in the side?

Hi ho Freddie Flintoff I say.

 

[banjo6]

Im a Ireland Fan BTW.

I can not stand England but id like to see competitive Tests.

:laugh

We need some wickets. And quick.

 

[evertonfan]

Right then, we're officially buggered. Smith's on his way to a hundred before close of play and McKenzie's looking like his usual limpet-like self. But we'll be alright. If the worst comes to the worst and we lose this there's still two left with which to win the series 2-1. Come on the lads!

 

[angryangy]

Seems like England are rooted for conditions now, after failing to bat resolutely enough through the first two sessions, the sun is shining for the third and the ball is moving predictably. Of course, if it could jag off a full length or swing a few inches, they'd at least get Smith out, because he's definitely going to have a drive.

still two left with which to win the series 2-1. Come on the lads!

Flintoff is not that great.

There i said it.

His Bowling average in Tests is not that great.
His Batting average in tests aint that great.

On batting or Bowling alone he would not be in that side.

 

[evertonfan]

Yeah that's completely hilarious. In fact, of all the things i've ever said that must definitely rank as the most hilarious thing i've ever said.

On batting alone he'd struggle to get into any top side, on bowling skills he'd go into any side in the world.

We know Flintoff isn't going to single handedly win us games of cricket anymore. We are just delighted to have him back because he's a proper cricketer and an English hero. Much in the same regard that Beckham is held in for the football team.

 

[banjo6]

His test Bowling Average is poor.

An Average of 32.02 is worse than Hoggard,Jones Harmison and Many others in English Cricket.

The fact is if Jones Harmison Hoggard and Sidebottom were all fit and at the capabilities Flintoff should not be in the side.

I do not understand why hes this English hero.

Simon Jones, Trescothick and Strauss were all as important in the Ashes win.

Average means little. Skill is more important. BTW, you're a dick head. I've thought this for a while.
