Bet 10 people feel a bit silly now.

 

[MW1304]

11. I mean one guy voted for Bell come on.

 

[Spark]

Still rooting for IP Freely ftr.

 

[GIMH]

It'll still be KP. No other bats will have time to score a ton with him gone and the middle order we'll now be playing. He'll have to be recalled when they realise this and BOOM KP wins.

well that's nice, and it will only massively piss off anderson, Broad, Strauss, Swann, the management, and consign us to fractous arguments forever more, BOOM KP wins, the rest of us lose.

 

[GIMH]

I think we lose with any feasible outcome, only because, without the hyperbole this time, I don't think any of the bats on the fringes can stand up and fill KP's boots. But what you say is pretty realistic as well. So, yeah, it looks grim.

Grimmest it's looked since the beginning of 09 anyway and things worked out okay that time I suppose.

That's the thing though isn't it, I loved Freddie, but we did better without him. Flower has made us a disciplinarian unit, and in the end, ATM I see us better in the long run without KP than with him.

 

[Spikey]

the odds of IP Freely are shorting by the match

 

[grecian]

My joke option looking good, mind you that's when he normally gets out to a stupid shot.

 

[kingkallis]

I dont understand why Bell is so under-rated? The guy is scoring decent amount of runs for few years now.

 

[marc71178]

For a long stage there was the stat that he'd never scored a ton in an innings without someone else also getting one.

Of course for some reason that has never been levelled at ABdV who I believe has a similar sort of record in that regards.

Meh, it's a running joke, so umm run with it.

 

[Spark]

Can remember at least one instance of ABdV getting a ton where none of his team mates had got one tbh.

 

[GIMH]

With KP stuck in the pits and bell a few laps back, Cook is out on his own here. He'll have the record by the end of the India tour of course.

 

[Faizal Khan]

22 centuries.
8900 runs.
383 wickets.

You can remember one, and only one.

 

[MW1304]

ITSTL. **** averages 17.25 against Bangladesh, says it all. Doesn't perform against the big boys.

 

[kingkallis]

22 centuries.
8900 runs.
383 wickets.

Yeah its a surprise really from the team that plays more tests matches than any other teams.

 

[marc71178]

Exactly, the same number as Bell has got.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Captain Cook moves to 21 after today's effort.

With all due respect to Bell, I think it's now a two horse race after Strauss's retirement.
