Go on then - ask everyone you can find whether or not they like me.
You'll be very surprised.

No, James doesn't like these sort of "polls" and I don't blame him.
Ask them privately if you want to know.

Wow do all threads on here degenerate into childish bickering matches?? I'm impressed your all still alive.... shame i never ventured outta the ICC section much before.

Anyway, Schofield.... tis a real shame he cant find a club.... Like its been pointed out he was amazingly hyped when he broke through (didnt do himself much favours by claiming he could bowl as many variations as Warne)... He lived upto it for a while.... It all started to go a bit to pot when Mulli came in as the overseas player, he bowled a lot fewer overs... Then Keedy suddenly figured out what he's meant to do with the ball, and Hooper had come in, all this timed nicely with a dip in form..... Unfortunatly he's never recovered from it.. His bowling, like been pointed out elsewhere, has become what is known as 'attrocious'.. It hurt to watch (as a leg spinner during my school cricket days he was a mini idol when he came through at that time). However his batting has improved greatly whilst his bowling has hit the.... well, hit nothing, he cant get the length!!! Last year he was a more than handy OD batsman, hardly got selected 1st class, but i'm sure if he was to play a whole season as a 1st class batsman this year he'd average over 30.... Last year in the seconds he was scoring runs aplenty, a few centuries, think he got 2 double centuries n all.....

Mebbie he'll find his bowling form in the local leagues and bounce back from it, he's still got the years on his side.... Hell if sky can employ Graeme Swann as a commentator on matches i'm sure they've got room for another international flash in the pan spinner :) Sure he's got at least the same amout of charisma as Graeme (not too difficult judging by what i remember of his commentary...)

Far more than not, yes.
