Just the first over. Ebrahim clobbered three fours - one over cover, two to fine leg. We had a 7-2 field and Anderson was very nervous. Apart from that one over when he strayed on to Ebrahim's pads too often and overstepped a couple of times, he did fine (took the wicket with the last ball of his third over).Mr Mxyzptlk said:
without making too much out of it as it is only one match and against Zimbabwe but England aren't looking too bad at the moment. Quite young attack as well with the addition of Flintoff who isn't old either it could be a platform to build on along with the top 3 having a few years left so just need to sort 4-7 slots especially 5 and the wicketkeeper.
For once in your life, will you give it a rest. Just because you don't like a selection does not mean it wasn't a good choice.Rik said:
In fact Marc, unless you have managed to miss every single piece of news about his selection, he was picked as an all-rounder. Therefor his selection was questionable to say the least. He scored 69 and I was quite impressed with the way he played, but do you really think he was a good selection today? If you wanted a batsman then why not pick someone with a future like Troughton or Shah? He's scored runs yes but have they affected this result? Nope, that's why I still don't think his selection was or has been warrented.marc71178 said:
