county cricket underated?

Trescothick has played perhaps 3 vital innings in his Test-career.

should he be dropped then and if so who will replce him? I think him and strauss have struck up a good partnership and it would be foolish to change it.

there is very little truth in that statement he has made far more vital innings than just 3, and even if he had only made 3 vital innings , that is still a higher total than number of vital contributions you have made to this forum.

No, no, you can't justify dropping him, but he's nowhere near as good as his early career makes him look.

 

[Richard]

He's played lots of innings which have made inevitable heavy victories heavier and been ineffectual in avoiding series defeats.
Only at The Oval and The Wanderers (vs SA) and Lord's (vs NZ) has he played a part in a series victory or draw.

and even if he had only made 3 vital innings , that is still a higher total than number of vital contributions you have made to this forum.

No, it's not.

thats B-S and you know it

 

[sledger]

thats B-S and you know it

thankyou amigo, it is well and truly a huge pile of B-S

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well, here are thirty-four reasonable efforts...

Interestingly, five of his last six fifty-plus scores have been centuries.

 

[Richard]

How many have been pivotal in series victories or salvaged draws?
And you can reduce it to 19 by getting rid of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and using runs earnt rather than recorded in the book.

 

[Richard]

thats B-S and you know it

No, it's not, I've named them.

 

[sledger]

No, it's not, I've named them.

and pickup has given evidence which reveals more

 

[Richard]

No, he's simply named 19 decent efforts.
Not 19 pivotal innings.

Oh the old "he didn't score them" arguement.

Which you keep bringing up and others keep exposing for the blatant flaws.

as is richards way, the only way he knows how, the way that continually angers and frustrates everyone else.

No, they keep exposing one significant flaw, which doesn't even apply here.
All others I've always countered.

No, just a few other people.

 

[sledger]

No, just a few other people.

i have seen the error of my ways and apologise to you richard, i have been acting in a very childish manner, i do not wish to insult you of be derogatory any further, i am very sorry, let us no longer have any conflicts of opinion over any matter unless it is a cricketing one.

 

[Richard]

No sarcasm there?
If not why on Earth suddenly go off on one like you did the other evening?

no i am not being sarcastic, i was just feeling angry and needed to vent my frustration somewhere, i am sorry richard, it is not in the intrest of anyone for this bickering to continue or to have started anywhere in the past, but seriously lets keep our arguments cricket based from now on, i offer my sincere apologies

 

[Richard]

OK, fine, apology accepted.
Can't say I haven't been guilty of the above myself, plenty of times.

 

[sledger]

thanks on with the future
