    ***Official** West Indies in England***

    i reckon pothas is the best choice as well. he's a better batsman than, geraint jones, chris read, paul nixon and basically any other english wicket keeper i can think of. wouldn't it be a shame though that if he gets picked that'll be 3 south african born players in the side. why can't...

    Caption this: Freddie Flintoff

    "so i was getting my MBE and i just sort of chased the queen like this shouting 'cu'mon gimme a kiss'"

    The England Thread

    what i don't understand at the moment is why everyone is ranting on about panesar and flintoff being the genuine wicket takers in the england ODI side. fair enough with flintoff but monty hasn't done anything special so far in the world cup has he? the commentators say he's a wicket taker and...

    ok fair point on the averages then! i didnt realise plunketts batting was that good, apart from that 50 in pakistan i've never really seen him do much else.

    The England Thread

    but i think he is more experienced in run chases than plunkett which makes him more useful at 9 than plunkett.

    he batted 3 for essex in twenty20s for some bizarre reason

    also i don't know why but i feel england would have a much better chance at winning the twenty20 world cup than the current world cup. they need to select darren maddy for that and vaughan must definately NOT play.

    The England Thread

    i think darren gough maybe would have been good. he can bat better than saj, plunkett and lewis and is undoubtably a better bowler than saj and plunkett. i dunno though he might just be past it at internationals, since he's done nothing special as of late apart from win that 'strictly come...

    and whats everyones opinion on stuart broad for england?

    The England Thread

    yeah you're right i suppose what i thought was funny was how the commentators justified mahmoods simply terrible delivery that got sangakkara out as completely intentional. you could see clearly from how the ball left the hand that he had ****ed it up. im sorry but he is a poor bowler, a poor...

    fair enough problem is jon lewis isn't being played and mahmood is. lewis could have played earlier in the tournament but plunkett was played. understandably lewis has flown home to see to his pregnant wife, but even when he was out there in the caribbean he wasn't used, so its no use saying...

    The England Thread

    lewis and anderson are good as is flintoff. but looking at the canada match we didn't even manage to bowl them out! we bowled a whole lot better against sri lanka but like richard says mahmood bowled well at his standards but still conceded 50 runs off 9 overs. with hoggard you have experience...

    The England Thread

    fair point on shah, i think he's a quality batsman and should be given more of a chance. i suppose for the moment theres also rob key who we could call on. were seriously going to struggle in ODIs soon though. TBF i could see a rapidly improving side like bangladesh being pretty close to us...

    The England Thread

    well judging by the current young 'talent' meaning plunkett, mahmood, etc were not going to stand a chance in the 2011 WC anyway looking at young players in english cricket at the moment i can only see a couple of bright sparks whereas you look at australia and you see many quality young...

    The England Thread

    there are no good young players to call up to replace them though! thats what riles me the most. from the twenty20, pro40 and the 50 over matches in county cricket are just not producing good young talent apart from stuart broad. people like darren maddy are shining through and yes they are good...
