Don't say stuff like that. You know that the ECB are very impressionable to ideas of that sort.
Broad
Onions
Plunkett (Let's hope not)
Mahmood
Kabir Ali
Bresnan
Anderson (Gods Help us
)Gough (Clobbers worst nightmare
)Jones (If (once) he gets back to full pace and form)
Shahzad (Early days but he has the ability)
Harris (Too young just yet but a very good prospect from what I hear)
That's just those I came up with off the top of my head. I could probably think of more if I had more time. ------------- Minn hugur er minn sverð (My mind is my sword) |

Broad dosen't look the goods to me, not seen onions, as for the rest they have been in and out over the last few years, none performed consistantly. Surley there must be someone like sidebottom floating around, someone that has been perfoming for a while? The future looks pretty bleak otherwise. ------------- Monkey see, Monkey do. |
Posted By: spin wizard
Date Posted: 11 March 2008 at 1:15am
|
Broad seem to me like one who looks for wickets, like trying things. However, the way he falls away on the foot when delivering can be dealt with and make him a much better bowler. Most, if not all the top class fast bowlers keep a bit more upright on the front leg. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

There needs to be an injection of desire Chiefy and that's why Harmison should be left with the drinks tray. I'm out of the loop really and half the names that Tykey has thrown up are complete strangers to me ! I've seen Onions and whilst raw , has some mongrel about him and I think that's what's required right now. Let's see how this series pans out - if they lose (god forbid!) then I'll help with the blood-letting and it won't just be players getting slashed. If they draw , score runs and Sidebottom gets decent support in the attack , then the carnage shouldn't be too great. If they win , then bring on the smelling salts , because I won't be conscious! Moores could well turn into the English equivalent of Buchanan - how scary is that ? ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Come on South Africa! You've got this in the bag! South Africa should win, I think. They've got alot of experience on their team. I think England will underestimate South African pace attack. I suppose Englands already used up all their good luck against New Zealand. It'll be one of those disapionting series for England, That they have every so often. ------------- |
