England have called up Luke Wright for the remaining 2 ODIs. I really hope he plays.

Whatever it takes!!!
He was that pinch hitter who did well for the Lions, right? Bet he would go better than Prior up the order....England have called up Luke Wright for the remaining 2 ODIs. I really hope he plays.

Hence the *.
Also, reagrdless of how many games they have played, they are still on the fringes of the team aren't they?
He might get the same treatment as Trott.

As do I, he seems a decent cricketer. Just a real shame Jonathan Trott failed in his two appearances for England, might take him a while to get another chance.England have called up Luke Wright for the remaining 2 ODIs. I really hope he plays.

He's destroyed a lot of county attacks this year in T20 and Pro40 games He needs to open or come in at no3 though while the fielding restrictions are on. No point bringing him in to replace Bopara / Flintoff too low down the order.He was that pinch hitter who did well for the Lions, right? Bet he would go better than Prior up the order....
He's not elegant, and a lot of his shots look like badly thought out slogs, but it seems to work
and im sure as he gets older he'll get some better shot selection even with the slogs.

Hey don't scare me like that!Like Afridi, Powell, Blackwell and others.
One thing I'm not looking forward to is when he gets fast short pitched deliveries aimed at him. He's not the tallest and I'm not convinced he'll be able to attack as much as he does when the likes of Lee et al get after him.

Oh sure they are on the fringe but when you have played that much you dont talk of them as players with potential. They are proven internationals. Theyare out due to being out of form.
Ganguly was out like taht a year back but he wasn't talked of as a 'player with potential' to play for India and listed alongwith young players just making or yet to make their debut.

I thought shorter guys were meant to be better at playing the shorter ball than taller ones.Hey don't scare me like that!

Well done india in the fifth game. The team for the sixth one-dayer would be
Tendulkar
Ganguly
Gambhir
Yuvraj
Dravid
Dhoni
Robin Uthappa
Munaf patel/Agarkar
Zaheer khan
RP Singh
Ramesh powar
I think chawla needs to be dropped atleast for this pressure game. With agarkar/munaf leaking more than 6 runs per over we cannot afford to have another spinner leaking more than 6 runs per over picking up a wicket or so. It might be better to use ganguly-5 overs , sachin and yuvraj-5 overs as fifth bowler.Also karthik needs to be dropped and instead uthappa with his power hitting can be used behind dhoni.

They were Twenty20 games though, it must be noted. Faling in two meaningless games in a format where it is quite easily to have a bad day shouldn't really be held against him IMO.

Your wait will be over by today! Tomorrow is match day! Enjoy! All the best

1. Not much of a difference ATM. Captain worried whom to pick. Agarkar has been in the side only because Patel is not fit. If Patel is fit tomorrow, Agarkar will sit out IMO
2. And the other thing is: I dont see any reason why Chawla needs to be dropped for this ODI?
