England - rated out of 10 so far

Lillian Thomson · 18-12-2006, 05:48 AM

Strauss - 3 - Would have been lower but he's had three bad decisions.
Cook - 6 - Just getting going and will probably be higher after the 5th Test
Bell - 7- Almost proving his class but playing too many half innings and getting out.
Collingwood - 8 - Two good Tests but doubtful whether he'll reproduce that form.
Pietersen - 9 - Top man.
Flintoff - 6 - Looked our best bowler but poor batting and iffy selection and captaincy.
Jones - 5 - Keeping has been bordering on adequate but hasn't scored the runs to justify his selection.
Giles - 1 - Hardly played any cricket in the past year and shouldn't have been on this tour.
Hoggard - 7 - Bowled well at times.
Harmeson - 5 - Started off crap and has improved to erratic.
Anderson - 4 - Another one who's hardly played in the past year, but bowled quite well at times.
Panesar - 8 - Stating the blindingly obvious to say he should have played from the start.
Mahmood - 1 - Was he playing..............someone should have pointed this out to the captain.

Pretty fair ratings tbh

pasag · 18-12-2006, 05:56 AM

Anderson a 4 and Giles a 1? Thought they were more or less equal in the first two tests.

Nnanden · 18-12-2006, 05:59 AM

Would have most of mine lower tbh. Harmison and Anderson especially.

Jono · 18-12-2006, 06:04 AM

Yeah can't see how Anderson got past 1, and Harmison is a 3.5 at most for me.

pasag · 18-12-2006, 06:07 AM

For me:

Collingwood - 7
Pietersen - 7
Hoggard - 7
Bell - 6
Panesar - 6
Flintoff - 5.5
Cook - 5
Harmeson - 4
Jones - 3
Giles - 3
Anderson - 3
Mahmood - N/A

Nnanden · 18-12-2006, 06:13 AM

Strauss - 4
Collingwood - 7
Pietersen - 8
Hoggard - 7
Bell - 6
Flintoff - 4
Cook - 6
Harmison - 3
Jones - 3
Giles - 2
Anderson - 1
Panesar - 7
Mahmood - 0.5

Flintoff really hasn`t done much at all IMO.

Can't quite remember what my thinking was, but I had a reason.

Has he really been *that* bad then?

Matteh · 18-12-2006, 10:57 AM

I thought Jones has been sound enough with the gloves this tour, he's just been utterly dire with the bat.

PhoenixFire · 18-12-2006, 11:12 AM

Strauss - 4, played well when he didn't get a crap desicion
Cook - 6, has played really well for a 21 year old, and scored a good hundred
Bell - 5, not had the best of tours, but had a good innings at the WACA
Collingwood - 8, one of our best batsmen, just didn't get in at the WACA
Pietersen - 9, best batter by a distance, played as well as I have ever seen him
Flintoff - 5, feel for the man, but not had the best performances
Jones - 4, batted like crap, kept fantastically
Giles - 2, fairly awful tour, bowled crap and batted very average
Mahmood - 3, did he play?
Hoggard - 8, our best bowler, tried the hardest out of any of them
Harmison - 4, found his feet and bowled great at the WACA after a shocking start
Panesar - 8, made the most of his limited opurtunities, and batted great

Langeveldt · 18-12-2006, 12:09 PM

Mahmood - 0, how many wickets he took
