NatWest Series Preview: England (article)

Hi Neil

I have just read your article about NatWest Series, and I think I will have to disagree with your probable team against Sri Lanka, I think that the team that will start will be

Batsmen

Trescothick - (part-time bowler if required)
Knight
Hussain (c)
Thorpe
Vaughan - (part-time bowler if required)
Stewart (w)

All Rounders

Irani - 4th bowler (where you said Collingwood)
Flintoff - 2nd or 3rd bowler

Bowlers

Giles - 5th bowler
Tudor - 2nd or 3rd bowler
Hoggard - 1st bowler (where you said Kirtley)

Batting goes right down to 10 with only Hoggard being the only weak link, and the team would have 5 out and out bowlers and 2 part-timers.

Well, these things are always debatable. I'll put the either/ors on the preview if it makes you happy :D - and we'll see who's picked come Thursday.

sorry rich, just thought it was only fair that you know, its article not artical.
Trescothick - (part-time bolwer if required)
Knight
Hussain (c)
Thorpe
Vaughan - (part-time bolwer if required)
Stewart (w)

All Rounders

Irani - 4th bolwer (where you said Collingwood)
Flintoff - 2nd or 3rd bolwer

Bolwers

Giles - 5th bolwer
Tudor - 2nd or 3rd bolwer
Hoggard - 1st bolwer (where you said Kirtley)

Batting goes right down to 10 with only Hoggard being the only weak link, and the team would have 5 out and out bolwers and 2 part-timers.
also.. this is a little more obvious. bowler, not bolwer.
sorry, i have no intelligent remarks on the england side

Sorted all those typos :) I'd have thought you could have spelt bowler right at least once, with it being a fundamental part of cricket and all.. :D

Hey you are lucky that there were only those few, I wrote the post in under 2 mins, as I have one of these connections that Disconnect after 2 hours and I only had 2 mins left before it ran out.

And as you saw I didn't get chance to spell check it.

Well, after today it doesn't look like Hoggard. 7-0-63-0! Against Wales! Appalling at best. He's not a one-day bowler anyway, I'd rather have had Mullally in the squad.

If it disconnects, I wouldn't have thought it automatically closes the browser - Back in the days of crappy 56k modems, mine never did!

No I don't think it does close the browser, but it brings up that page can't be displayed. I think

Give me 40 mins 15 sec and I will tell you :D
