Stupid Photo

[Anna]

I've got a really funny photo of Andy Caddick and Richard Dawson somewhere, just trying to find it................

 

[Anna]

Here it is! It had me tittering for ages

 

[Langeveldt]

Just a thought, but I reckon Caddick would gain an extra yard of pace without those huge wingnuts. They must drag him down a bit!

 

[Anna]

Yeah! He should try taping them to his head and he might just loose some of his wind resistance

 

[Anna]

Caddick hasn't been sensored!! A lack in the staff's concentration perhaps? Or maybe they got bored with it...

 

[Anna]

Just found another pretty daft picture. I got it ages ago, but it's still funny

 

[Langeveldt]

Did the same thing happen to Graham Hick ?

I asked James to do something about it in the problems section...

Yeah I saw that on the highlights. Thought it was Vaughan under the helmet though...but Dawson it is!

Hehehehe, that is silly. But he just hit 85 so he's back

Knight isn't playing as he's failed nearly every time he's played. Hick failed nearly all the time too. England just decided that it was time they were dropped, I mean Raprakash came up with that superb ton against Australia but did nothing again and was appauling in NZ. If they haven't succeded regularly by 20 Tests then drop them, hopefully the mistake won't take that long though

I think its safe to say that Hick is a huge enigma, but at least he was brilliant occasionaly. I dont see Key ever showing brilliance.
Maybe he will prove me wrong though.

Nah neither can I, he could be a solid player though.

Hick failed nearly all the time too.

He only is perceived to have failed because of his career in FC Cricket - looking at his stats compared with the likes of Crawley and Butcher of the current side, and I know who I'd rather have seen in an England shirt.

Which ever way you look at it, averaging 31 in Tests is not good, and that average was still dropping. Butchers, however, seems to keep rising along with Crawley's.

Yeah he was dire after his 100 against Zimbabwe in 2000 - only one 50 in 10 tests. He should have been in the ODI side all along though, seeing as he has nearly 4000 runs at 37 and a SR of 74. It's even worse when you consider the fact that we've been crying out for a number 3 since. Here is Hick's record at 3:

58 58 9 2182 126* 109 108 44.53 5 16

2000+ runs at 44, 5 hundreds....

ALso he has made runs against everyone. His worst record is against South Africa (average 31, 5x50s in 20 ODIs).

What are the selectors playing at? Maybe Duncan Fletcher was angry because he turned his back on Zimbabwe or something?!?! Either way it looks like after a poor tour of Pakistan and Sri Lanka 2 years ago he was given the boot for good. Personally I'd pick him over Owais Shah for the next 10 years...

 

[Rik]

I agree about the ODI side...although he was pretty dire along with the whole ODI Team in Sri Lanka, the tour in which he played his last ODI...

If Warnie's in the slips, it'll be turned into an Esky!
