Who should NEVER or NEVER again play for their country and why?

[Daemon]

He knows him personally or something. Reckons he's a ****y bloke iirc.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I've tried finding info on whether he had a formerly broken finger that caused the way he does it but I couldn't find any info on it. Aside from that, his signalling just annoys me, his sixes and leg byes.

maybe he's in such chronic pain he has to make several attempts to lift his arms

Some Australians;

Matthew Wade (as a keeper) - by all means bring him in as a specialist batsman, but is an absolutely attrocious keeper. Very lucky that Haddin is old and Paine can't bat. Give me Hartley anyday.

Ed Cowan - Good team man and all, but isn't an international level batsman and possibly the worst runner between the wickets since Inzy.

Usman Khawaja - Maybe a bit harsh, but he just isn't that good. Should have never been picked ahead of Hughes in the Ashes, in the next couple of years I can see him being overtaken by Bailey, Burns and whoever performs well in the sheild. Probably won't have the career we all thought he would.

Xavier Doherty (in tests) - Because he's ****.

Agree

Partial Agreement - Hughes isn't up to it IMO. Khawaja needs to bat better against spin, but otherwise I think he deserves at least a series stint.
Agree

I'm basing my asserions on Hughes due to his dismal effort against South Africa after scoring a ton against a weak SL attack in 2011. He had a good opportunity and wasn't good enough. Since then both he and Khawaja have had no good runs in the side. I think Usman deserves one.

Age cheats in the Indian domestic system.

I think some of them are just confused.

These be some pretty daft assertions, then, given how much time has passed since then.

Some of them are forced to do so at the behest of organisations seeking easy wins, while some, are trying to get into the Indian team the easy way with fake age certificates..

absolutely, time has passed, and neither has been given a decent shot since then. It needs to happen IMO. One way or the other. I think Anderson has it over Hughes, and Swann has it over Usman, so maybe someone else should be picked, but out of those two, I think Usman deserves the chance.

Anderson and Swann should not be picked.

 

[Maximas]

Whoever gets picked shouldn't be thrown straight in at no 3

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Anderson and Swann should not be picked.

can you explain why?

 

[wiff]

can you explain why?

They are bowling in the wrong areas for our batters.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

right, understood

 

[Maximas]

good from Schearzie

This seems to happen in the 3rd world cricketing countries. it's strange to think about it, it couldn't really happen in England or Australia could it?

Anderson and Swann should not be picked.

Bell too.

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Billy Bowden - not a player but I just can't stand his stupid little gimmicks like the crooked finger. Just umpire ffs

This is down to a kind of auto-immune athritis.

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Agreed. Should be Watson at 3, and Warner and Rogers opening

 

[Migara]

Chamara Kapugedara - crap
Upul Tharanga - ***y edges
Jehan Mubarak - crap
Indika de Saram - utter crap
Ajantha Mendis - so much crap, that even gets tonked by domestic players

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Darren Ganga

This - breaks my heart when I see him selected or talked up, unless he is bowling to someone who hasn't faced him, he's practically useless, can't even keep the runs down
