West Indies in England

[Sureshot]

Powell's done alright in the world cup.

 

[evertonfan]

Yes but he's hardly gonna make us wet our kecks is he?

 

[Simbazz]

I reckon were going to have a decent English summer We usually do ok against the Windies at home, and away for that matter.

My team would consist of;

Strauss
Trescothick/Cook (unfair to dismiss Cook he hasnt done anything wrong)
Bell
Vaughan
KP
Colly
Flintoff
Foster/Gojo/Read/Nixon (Not decided who yet )
Harmison/Jones
Hoggy/Anderson
Panesar

The squad is quite decent looking down it, but i reckon if Vaughan isnt pulling his wiegh give Cook a go, if Flintoff isnt doing it id like to see either Bopara (or Ian Blackwell) be given ago, but the latter seems a bit distant now

 

[Mona brothers]

The result will be
Westindies 0 vs England 4(Test series)
Westindies 1 vs England 2(ODI's)
Westindies 0 vs England 2(Twenty 20)

I'm interested in how our bowlers will line up; Do we give Harmison his place back or do we let Mahmood or Anderson take over?

I'm not so sure about playing Harmison but with what we've got (Anderson and Mahmood) we've got no other option. All I know is he was bowling quite well in the nets yesterday

Foster/Gojo/Read/Nixon (Not decided who yet )

Jones, Nixon and Read; Just no.

Charles Coville was hinting heavily at Nixon playing in the West Indies one day AND test series yesterday after the Ireland Vs Australia match.

Charles Coville was hinting heavily at Nixon playing in the West Indies one day AND test series yesterday after the Ireland Vs Australia match.

And Charles Colville picks the teams does he?

 

[manee]

No (well, yes, but thats another story), but as a journalist and main presenter on the channel which have rights to English cricket, he must gain some access to information.

 

[evertonfan]

You should never read much into what a presenter or journalist says. Remember the Adelaide Test last year? Int he build up everyone was talking as if Panesar was playing and even the Sky presenters showed the team with him in. What happened? Giles played.

 

[manee]

Yes, but that was the biggest injustice on cricket history and can you blame him for thinking that Fletcher would pick the person he called 'The best finger-spinner' for a different one?

 

[Sureshot]

Tbh, I'm warming more towards Nixon being our keeper for the summer, he's done well so far. Tests is a completely different arena but his good performances stand him in good stead.

No one knows though, probably not even Fletch (If he is in charge).

 

[evertonfan]

It wouldn't be the end of the world if Nixon was Test keeper because he no doubt deserves a place, I just think we should look for a long term keeper instead of a stop gap one.

 

[Will_NA]

My team:

Trescothick/ Cook - Cook doesn't deserve to lose his place a great partnership will be re-united

Strauss
Bell
Pietersen
Vaughan (c)
Flintoff
Foster (wk)
Harmison
Jones
Hoggard
Panesar

I am hoping English selectoras finally get it right and don't pick Michael Vaughan! However, I won't hold my breath!
