*Official* Australia in England

[Sir Alex]

I stickied both last night.

Thanks Cal but when I made the post Asia cup was not stickied I promise.

 

[Spark]

What's with the Aus squad, I didn't realise it was an A tour

Fair few injuries.

Glad we have you to keep an eye out of any hint of anti-Indian bias Sir Alex!

Don't be facetious, Ind/SL series in Zim series is unstickied but I don't care a **** about it. Asia Cup is a multinational ODI tour. Your presumptions are baseless.

 

[pasag]

Looking forward to it.

 

[andyc]

All a bit 'meh' over it. Will probably really only be watching if Hazelwood gets a run. Or if Watto's batting.

But I like being facetious!

And I say they had some base

 

[Patroclus]

no chance for England

 

[King Pietersen]

Shahzad called into the squad to cover for Sidebottom who unsurprisingly has picked up another injury, this time in his Hamstring. Guess that means Bresnan and Anderson will play.

Strauss
Kieswetter
Pietersen
Collingwood
Morgan
Wright
Yardy
Bresnan
Swann
Broad
Anderson

Looks like that'll be the side; that's if Bresnan has recovered from the stress fracture in his foot anyway.

Saj must be quite close to getting a call up... hope he does. I think he'd be more exciting to watch than Bresnan.

If by exciting you mean exciting watching the Aussies bang him about for 100s, then yeah I agree

Well... I dunno. I do wonder whether he'd do better than some of the others we have in.

 

[WorcsRoyal]

Bresnan is one of these players who can do really well but i'm still never really too happy seeing him in the side, hmm.

Rather have him than Saj every time.Saj is always going to bowl a high number of 4 balls and wides where as at least Bresnan has a proven record in the shorter game.

Mahmood does have a lot better domestic record than Bresnan. I think he's a lot more likely to take wickets at international level.

Mahmood has been tried and failed,no thanks rather not go back to that waste of space.May as well pick Devon Malcolm again as he is a fast bowler too.

He has also improved judging by his county figures.

Personally I wouldn't be averse to giving Saj another go, just because he was rubbish 3 years ago doesn't automatically make him rubbish now.

Did you see him last year when they picked him in South Africa?

By your thinking we may as well pick Darren Stevens or Robin Martin Jenkins as they are having good seasons.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez, forgot this was on altogether til I heard Pietersen banging on about some psychological hold England has because they won the T20 WC or something.

He can bat can Kev, but he's just a brainless ****head really, isn't he?

 

[GIMH]

He's in your head and there's the proof
