Keep replying, this thread is fast overtaking the number of posts in the Ramps thread.

Right, you're my guide. How long do we have to go?

 

[GIMH]

A week

A week

geez, it seems like 2 months already

 

[GIMH]

Hehe, well tbh you've probably gathered some interest seems as the bet was made 2.5 years ago!

You know when you put it up, not me!

Actually, I just looked at which answer you nominated...you can also discuss Lamb Kofta here if you like.

I was talking more about England results since 2005...not Ramprakash himself.

If he averages 60 then obviously that'd be a good thing. Although I'd still be a bit concerned about where you were going after that. It kind of hints that there's no vision for the future...the part which I was attempting to indicate was typically English.

If it's typically English, then that's good. The future is just that - the future. Your vision for the future has zero place in your selections of the current Test side. Trying to plan for the future is done in other areas.

I don't actually like it BTW, don't even know what it is - though I presume it's meat, in which case I actually picked it because I thought it read something like "I like Allan Lamb". Which would be true, though I never saw a match in which he played live some of his attacks on West Indian seam-bowlers over his career - and a few other innings to boot - were legendary. And even to look back on them is fairly awesome viewing.

I eats no meats if that's what you means.

Obviously, given recent results.

He did a good job of taking 22 off a Bruce Reid over to win a one-dayer if memory serves me correctly.

Recent results (ie, the last 2 or 3 years) have been borne more than anything else of just the problem I mentioned - trying to merge planning the future with the best interests of the Test side.

Players like Mahmood, viewed (wrongly IMO) to have potential, were picked for Test cricket despite being blatantly woefully below par, ahead of far better-qualified candidates (such as Sidebottom and Jonathan Lewis) who might have had shorter leases of Test life.

18, actually. But he only needed 5 balls to hit them: 2-4-6-2-4. Not at all shabby anyway & still the most runs off a final over to win, I think. Bit of help from Wellham's arm & Reid's catching tho.
