Woo-hoo! A 4 finally!

"Even when England lost 5-0 in 2006-07 I don't remember them folding like this. This is as bad as I have seen from an England side."

Agarkar doing a Marshall with a bouncer to come back. He really is god.
Do England have quotas? Just having a look at Sajjid Mahmoods continued selection, and the fact he goes for over six an over in ODI cricket..

Only a quota of at least half the side being clinically hopeless at this form of the game.
Game over.
KP goes. Brainless shot, but good thinking from Dravid to give Munaf the slip.
Your fault for using "KP" and "intelligent" in the same sentence. And sure enough ...
Lol!
I dont want to be cynical but it was over before it started. The brain dead philosophy, supported by many on this board, of playing 3 specialist batsmen (Strauss, Bell, KP) and then a bunch of guys who can contribute but not matchwinning innings is stupid.
Best players left at home, structure of the team flawed and people still think its sensible. Honestly, Im getting fed up of always being right.

Go on then, who are these "best players"?
Ive repeated myself many times about the make-up of the Eng OD side and Ive no need to repeat it again. Sufice it to say too many inexperienced and limited rookies are getting picked ahead of experienced and domestically proven veterens.
At internationl level you pick your best team not random guys with no track record. A proven recipe for failure.

Sorry mate, but your first para reads like you've no more idea than the rest of us. Pardon me if I haven't read your previous threads, but it was only a civil question.
I didnt mean to sound short and curt with you. Im just ****ed off and annoyed with the way this OD team is being built and designed. It was easy to predict and noone can say these are the best OD players in England.
Sorry if you felt the snappyness was directed at you, it wasnt.
