[sachin]

I don't really like your test squad.Pathan at six!

 

[sid098in]

hez gud enough player to play at 6
hez got a good technique.
he plays straight

if not at 6 i guess he can play at 7
as time goes by we mi8 see pathan playin in the top order maybe at 4 or 5
hez a geniune allrounder in the making

 

[barmyarmy]

Test side

Tresco
Strauss
Vaughan
Bell
Joyce/Shah
Flintoff
G Jones
Giles
Hoggard
Harmison
S Jones

I wouldn't play KP at the moment. He needs to learn to be a more responsible batsman and think about the team first.

ODI (not that I care about ODI's!)

Trescothick (captain in the absence of anyone else...)
Prior/Solanki
Collingwood
Strauss
Pietersen
Flintoff
G Jones
Giles (Loudon for Pakistan series)
Harmison
S Jones (Kabir Ali for Pakistan series)
Anderson (yeah well!)

Would I play a certain batsman who averages under 30 and has never had an ODI century. No.

No Simon Jones in the ODIs?

Really surprised you included Chapple.

 

[barmyarmy]

Really surprised you included Chapple.

Lancashire fan...
Didn't he try and put Keedy in as well?

 

[Sureshot]

Keedys a good bowler though, i'd play Panesar, even though i haven't included him iirc.

Could you cut down on your use of abbreviations please?

Really surprised you included Chapple.

Very good one day bowler, and a more than useful batsman.

Lancashire fan...
Didn't he try and put Keedy in as well?

I didn't try and get him in the one day side, he barely gets into Lancashire's one day side!

No Simon Jones in the ODIs?

He's close to selection, as is Jimmy Anderson.

If Strauss or Tres are injured then Cook would come in, which I still think should have happened in the 3rd Test.

[Sureshot]

Interesting people are leaving KP out of the Test side, i can see why, but he was our top scorer in the Ashes that we won.
