Well Key scored more runs against the Windies than proven Test players like Thorpe, Vaughan, Trescothick and Strauss, so ...thats mindless.Neil Pickup said:
thtas not a very balanced squad though with 8 batsmen,2 decent batting keepers,an all rounder who if his ankle plays up would probably bat but not bowl,4 pace bowlers (remember back to back tests!!!!) and ONE spinner.a massive zebra said:
Scoring runs year after year for Notts. Not ahead of Bell because I would have them both. Bell's Test debut was exemplary. Two years ago you argued against the selection of Fulton because he did not have a good career record, and was just in good form. It could be argued that Bell does not have a great career record and is just in good form. Pietersen, meanwhile, scores runs year in year out.marc71178 said:
His figures are better than Simon Jones, 3 matches is not really enough to write a player off, and he took a wicket with his first ball in England and is a proven wicket taker in county cricket.marc71178 said:
Bell's batting is at least one maybe two classes above collingwood IMO and neither are brilliant bowlers, although watching Bell a couple of times this season i think he could develop into a Scott Styris kind of bowler with some work. I watched him bowl on the featherbed at Stratford (i thinkk) against Lancs when he was the only bowler to exert any control and look dangerous. I've never seem collingwood look dangerous. With their bowling nothing more than ordinary it comes down to batting and there is no way Collingwood should be above Bell in that case.Prince EWS said:

Not sure that kinda "don't criticise unless you can do it yourself" argument holds much water.steds said:
Does this mean there's no point in listening to you until you've scored one too?steds said:
