Why does half the crowd have to come down to be at the presentation?

The politicians, sponsors and officials bring all their families and their in laws to appear on TV.

Still prefer Jos to hit it straight, when he does these pre-meditated flicky things it's not as good, yes in the course of a long innings it can work, but he was doing so well smackint it straight.

All depends where the gaps are...

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, when midd off is up and you smack it straight it looks great, but when he's back and you miscue it straight, like everyone did on Thursday, it's pointless when you can ramp the same ball over fine leg.

 

[grecian]

I know it just frustrates me a bit.

We win, revenge will have to happen in the one dayers then.

What will our side be? still worry about the pace bowling

Cook
Bell
Kp
Morgan
Patel
Buttler (WK)
Woakes
Bresnan
Tredwell
Broad
Finn.

I'm just being optimistic about a certain player, not playing.

They'll go with Briggs over Woakes IMO. And, frustratingly for you it seems, they'll go with Kieswetter over Buttler.

Edit: Oh wait you were obviously talking about Dernbach, sorry.

I was, I'm not sure they will go with CK, it really makes little sense to bat bedwetter out of position, for the best finisher in domestic cricket. I think these t20s were a dress-rehearsal, and he did okay, no more mistakes than CK makes really.

You could be right about Briggs, but they didn't actually show much faith in this series did they?

 

[Cabinet96]

No but they haven't shown much faith in Woakes recently, bringing Dirtbag in instead of him in the South Africa One Dayers

Are we resting Swann for this series? I've only seen Jimmeh and Trott mentioned as being rested.

Yep, was never named in the squad. Jimmeh and Trott were named but then withdrawn.

 

[Pothas]

Is Broad going to be fit?

Would rather leave him at home for some good old 'strength and conditioning.'

Well they did that whilst resting him from the one-dayers in England, didn't really work.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Watching highlights, Chawla looks like a reject from the Hobbit.

Yes, I'm a little bit sceptic of what it does as well. Broad had it during the 2010 summer and got injured second test of the Ashes.

 

[Furball]

He looks like someone's botched at attempt at cloning Tendulkar.
