    Vintage Draft Rosters

    Oh yeah ... the website ... I forgot to update. I'll do it for later tonight. I'll copy the draft sheet on there too. :)

    Comon sense mate. Take potentially your best player out of the team, and you will suffer ... see Austrailia in the last 2 ashes tests without Warne and McGrath ... lost one, could have lost the other. In additoin, Flintoff is England's best bowler against lefties (after White) ... and these are...

    *Official* England in Sri Lanka

    Bowden's good ... too pedantic with little issues like light etc. Made some howlers in that department this last summer (ask Trescothick and Butcher LOL). Decent umpire though. Asoka is VERRRYYYY dubious. Especially if the ball is seaming about. He looks bemused up there sometimes.

    Best 'Keeper In T' World (nothing to do with batting ability)

    McGrath, Ed Smith etc etc etc = mediocrities. They're not test match players. They have no batting technique!! They were droped for being crap, not because they were rotated. McGrath was given ample opportunity to prove himself ... he failed. Has nothing to do with rotation. And Johnson got...

    Richard Johnson

    He's the only one who looks proficient at bowling to south paws. Hoggard can't. Anderson clearly has trouble. Harmy seems OK ... he's ever improving. Not really sure about Simon Jones. I fear the the work load on Freddy aint gonna get any easier. I also fear he'll end up as third seamer in Sri...

    And I agree that that's what they'll end up doing .. probably to the detriment of the team. Do they need to? ... well you know my views :)

    Best 'Keeper In T' World (nothing to do with batting ability)

    Pollock is still a very effective bowler. He's extremely clever, and uses what he has to his advantage. His ability to cut the ball on any surface is the key to his success. But if you seen him bowl this summer, you'd agree he looks extremely jaded ... and he's only 30 years old! He has way to...

    Fleming's ridiculous comments

    Reminds me of the old 60 over tournament final at lords we used to have (The Nat West Trophy was it?). Win the toss, Bowl, get the opposition 6 down for 40, game over. Fleming probably has a point, but the fact is, that if he had've won the toss and bowled, he whouldn't be whinning! We had...

    Best 'Keeper In T' World (nothing to do with batting ability)

    1. My point was that that whether or not Stewart is around for the WC in 2007 is irrelevant. He doesn't have to play One Day Cricket. Test match cricket, and building a team that can beat Austrialia is the most important thing ... the only important thing. 2. Sorry for any confusion, what I...

    Best 'Keeper In T' World (nothing to do with batting ability)

    1. One Day Cricket is irrelevant IMO ... Test cricket is the only important game. 2. Stewie hasn't played One Day Cricket since the WC anyway. 3. Age is not a factor ... he can play til 50 if he's still capable. He was the fitest member of the team, and the most important in terms of the...

    Michael Bevan

    Bevan might fit nicely into that Bangledesh team ... he has about as much proficiency against the short ball as they do :P ... that's why he can't play test cricket :)

    Best 'Keeper In T' World (nothing to do with batting ability)

    1. Stewie succumbed to press, media and "expert" pressure. Every interview he was being asked when he's going to quit. It's clear to anyone with half an ounce of wit that he did not want to quit. He was pressured into quitting. 2. Expose a new keeper when Stewie retires. Not before. Like with...

    Best 'Keeper In T' World (nothing to do with batting ability)

    We're looking at my posts from opposite angles :) England will have NO depth to their lower order batting with their future bowling lineup (Harmison, Hoggard, Anderson, Jones???). Which of these guys are going to average 25 against a team like Austrialia or South Africa. If Read can't bat, then...

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    Read my posts before you answer. You reply lacks any content, coherence and sense ... hot air. I never made any comparision betweem part-time WK's like Tillekeratne/Walcott and full-time catchers :rolleyes: The rule has not changed from the start: "6. The eligability for a position is 10...
