Rickys played 4 tests there, 3 was when Harbhjan was just absolutely destroying everybody, combined with a run of bad form from Ricky. And the 4th was coming back from a broken thumb in a dead rubber.

14 innings in 4 Tests - that's impressive...

172 runs in said 14 innings, that's less so.

He could have but in his current state and performances in the summer I highly doubt he would have performed better than a Collingwood or Cook. Say what you will about the former, I will his not particularly good but his a fighter whilst old Tesco when the going gets tough, he gets going and sharpish (countdown for people to bring up road tons against South Africa at the Oval 3, 2, 1...).

I think you're doing Tresco a gigantic disservice there. You're effectively calling him a flat-track bully, which is a pretty damning indictment.

That looks like 8 tests to me, 14 innings.

You can't accuse him of not trying to play himself back into form!

That's actually about as good a compliment you could get for someone like him.

To suggest that England's team in 1986\87 was better than some teams sent in the 1990s would be pretty crazy - the team of 1986\87 was dubbed "the worst England team ever to tour" and it's results 1986-1989 bear this out.

A butter-fingered-fielding-side bully would be more accurate.
