Drop Vaughan, keep Strauss

Ash_A55 · 08-04-2007, 07:55 AM

Need I say more?

Barney Rubble · 08-04-2007, 08:02 AM

Yes, TBH. Strauss is just as useless in ODIs as Vaughan, doesn't bowl and can't captain in ODIs. If you're gonna drop one of them, drop him.

Ash_A55 · 08-04-2007, 08:04 AM

Strauss has ODI hundreds, Vaughan dosent even have an 80.

He does have an 80, he actually has a couple of 90s.

Also, all of Strauss' ODI hundreds bar one have come against minnows, and the one that didn't came against a horribly weak WI side.

You've got to look beyond statistics. Strauss is a minnow-basher, which has been concealing his lack of ODI know-how for years now.

Top score is 90*.

Yes, but that doesn't make Strauss any less shocking, just because he happens to have made runs against rubbish attacks. Vaughan's 90* actually came against Australia IIRC, so if he'd got those extra ten runs this thread might not have existed.

Seriously, he who still holds-out any hope for either in ODIs is delusional. The two of them were dismissed today by Shaun Tait - a new low.

who actually bowled really well today...maybe you havent watched it yet Richard (it wouldnt surprise me to be honest)

DCC_legend · 08-04-2007, 12:39 PM

He was bowling V.well today TBH.

IMO just drop them both, Call up Mal Loye and some one else, thena ppoint Paul Collingwood as captain. Problem Solved.

I did watch both dismissals - and both dragged-on nothing balls, playing with angled bats.

Tait may have bowled well but those 2 wickets (not so the Collingwood one) were terrible batting for which no credit can be attributed to the accuracy of the bowlers.

Calling-up Loye is posthumous now, though. Loye's time has come and gone.

Lets drop both of em, but who could replace them, long-term?
