Franklin just bowled a 132kph bouncer followed by a 131kph bouncer that sconed Trott!

Burgey · 16-02-2013, 07:42 PM

Wtf trott? Lidded by Franklin?

Prince EWS · 16-02-2013, 07:43 PM

OMG HE HIT HIM IN THE HEAD.

This is the best day ever.

There are worse tbh. It's more the words that are the problem with McMillan's commentary, rather than the pronunciation.

Franklin the catalyst for PEWS succumbing to the Fast Bowlers Club

It's difficult to argue against his average of 50, but to your point a SR <75 in this era is substandard. Perhaps the English selectors want him to play that sheet anchor role to compliment their stroke-makers in the middle order.

I can't help think having both Cook and Trott the your top 3 will limit England's ability for really big scores.

The only non-surprising thing about that lidding of Trott was umpire S Ravi getting it wrong. Again.

^ What happened? Did you break up with Skippy?

Fair enough.

He did just say "Sucks inside the circle" tho, which made me titter.

I don't have an issue with his overall strike rate, especially given his average. However, today has been pretty frustrating for me. Every over in the lead up to the wicket Bell was charging down the pitch, searching for the big shot, while Trott couldn't get a move along. Given Bell was clearly batting better, Trott should've taken it on himself to take the pressure off Bell by increasing his scoring rate IMO.

Nah I was always a big fan of Franklin's bowling when he was actually a bowler. I waited for ages for him to bother actually bowling properly after he injured, then I gave up.

BUT IT'S BACK!

$100 on false dawn. PEWS to sucide in a couple of games time.
