The Weakest link for England?

[aussie1st]

Giles seems to be the weakest link. He needs to improve his batting to be of any use to england

 

[Mahesh Babu]

How about getting Collingwood in and throwing Giles out from the team?

 

[Sureshot]

Selectors are to loyal for that to happen. Might switch with Bell.

Collingwood should play. He might not score big against the Aussies, but would save a lot of runs. Scores 35, saves 15, an average of 50! Just kiddin! Seriously, he should replace Giles

 

[aussie1st]

He probably could do that but i would think he could get more. I saw him play in the ODI against Aus in the recent series and the VB series a few years back. He was always solid and hard to get out. Also he always seemed to save england after they had collasped.

He would make a good reaplacement to me

 

[Mahesh Babu]

Add to that he can bowl both medium fast,offsin and is a much better bowler than Giles.His bowling talent is undermined and not given much chance to show his talent.

I agree that Collingwood should be brought in for Bell. However I am uncertain on how Collingwood will play Warne. Does he have the skill and mental toughness to score runs against such a bowler. Who is the best player of spin England have?

Not sure such a person exsists mate

Pietersen handled him pretty well though

Surley there must be someone who is confident against spin and is mentally tough.

Graham Thorpe.

Graham Thorpe.

Well you already screwed that one up, how about plan B?

Pieterson.

 

[Sureshot]

No we didn't, Thorpe would have been a bad choice. He had already effectively announced his retirement so he shouldn't have been picked.

Plan B? What's that?

 

[woodzy]

Maybe they should play Vikram Solanki purely for his agression and tell him to go all out against Warne and smash him around abit and hopefully put him off his game
