The Weakest link for England?

[Sureshot]

GIles can spin it, not much though. But he can spin it he proved that at Lords last year vs the Windies when he took 9 wickets. Including Lara as his 100th Test victim.

Weak Links:

Vaughan's Batting
Ian Bell (bellend) has a whole
Geriant Jones has a whole
Ashley Giles (See what Batty can do, because he can't be any worse than Giles at the mo)

Have I forgoten anything?

 

[Sureshot]

how Mature!

Ian Bell is a good player just lacks experience. i think you mean 'as a whole' not 'has a whole'

 

[woodzy]

Drop Ian Bell bring back Mark Ramprakash. He is such a fine first-class player. I'd also be inclined to give both Gareth Batty and Chris Read a go!

 

[Sureshot]

Chris Read can't bat! Ramprakash is 36 and is too old. If we replace Bell it must only be with butcher. If he gets fit again. i agree with batty though. Made a first class hundred last season. And bowling well.

 

[woodzy]

Doesnt matter how old ramprakash is hes still scoring runs and thats all that matters. Their batting order is very inexperienced with only Trescothick and Vaughan having played over 50 tests. Flintoff is up there with 40 odd as well. They just need and old head to settle the situation if it gets out of hand.

 

[Sureshot]

Like Butcher. ramps has retired anyway.

 

[woodzy]

Wot about Paul Collingwood. I thought he did such a good job in the ODI series

 

[Sureshot]

Yep true, and is in good form for Durham. He would be the next in line for a batting place. Plus his fielding gives us 15 runs PI.

 

[woodzy]

Wot about Graham Hick..hes a first class champion. Just imagine this huge English giant dancing down the wicket n hitting Shane Warne out of the ground

 

[jonah]

Bloody hell woodzy, I didn't mean it when I said you'd be calling for Hick next! First Ramps, now Hick; how's about getting Athers, Stewart and Tuffers out of retirement and reinstating Caddick as another bowling option?

 

[Sureshot]

Hick is 38!

the selectors wont pick anyone older than butcher to come into our side.

Why not call back Chris Tavare?? Get Hussain and Botham out of that commentatory box and into the field!

 

[jonah]

Ah, Chris Tavare. Now he's a man who could keep the Aussies out...block, block, block.... :sleep

 

[afridi25]

Giles is easily their weakest link.He plays but bowls the number of overs a part timer would

of course
