Haha, get carded much?It gets a bit tiresome when you're my age (and I tend to think I look pretty young for my age too) to have that said over and over TBH.

Do you think Stuart broad has
done enough to get a place in the test squad for england?
i admit he is pretty uneconomical
but to be honest you need
to take wickets
and he is often getting at least 2 wickets per a game for england
Well personalitly i dont even think harmison should even play
he is getting old now and you never know if he is going to do well
or not
he would be too risky to be put in the side
Cricketing haiku?Yeah you are probably right there i guess
i think it will be annoying if harmison does play though
waste of time if he doesnt do well
Could we have one reason why Broad's a better proposition than Sidebottom?Would have Broad in the Test team ahead of Anderson and Sidebottom. But I hope from a Sri Lankan POV he's not in the side.
Card?Haha, get carded much?
correct.I haven't come across that expression, but I would guess it means 'asked for ID.' (to prove age)
Gut feeling is when Sidebottom plays on true Sri Lankan pitches (not the ones that we had for ODIs) he will get found out due to lack of support from pitches. He smacks me as good bowler on seam friendly English pitches, but will struggle international away from home.Could we have one reason why Broad's a better proposition than Sidebottom?
Sidebottom can swing it both ways on demand and has fantastic control. Broad can, er, swing it occasionally sometimes and you have no idea whether the next ball is a long hop or not.
Yup. He should start with Hoggard and the two spinners, afaics.I don't see either Sidebottom or Broad\Tremlett getting anything whatsoever out of a typical Sri Lankan surface TBH. Sidebottom can get the ball to do plenty in the air, though, and that's the key when there's nothing you can get out of the pitch.
One is left handed. The other is right handed. Sorry, but there is no way that is samey. Particularly when you have a left-arm and right-arm spinner as the slow bowlers.Having Sidebottom and Hoggard in the side has a lot of sameness about the attack and lack variety.
id rather have hoggy in my team thoughOne is left handed. The other is right handed. Sorry, but there is no way that is samey. Particularly when you have a left-arm and right-arm spinner as the slow bowlers.
Except he's about 6'5"He's not looked all that impressive so far in his career - but he has been thrust into the international stage at a young age. He had obviously got talent, though.
Mind you - how sad for Broady that he got his first England cap before he got his first pube. The poor guy looks like he's ten years old.
