Who is this Fidel Edwards?

[marc71178]

Hmmmm just a tad more successful and a tad less contriversial though

To be fair, Hooper has had a fairly successful career.

What next after this call-up - Mali Richards?

A knock of 319's better than 1-55 or so.

Something in the genes?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

A knock of 319 in the qualifying tourney for the Carib is about par with Edwards' performance. Both have had good success at a level below FC cricket. Remember that Mali Richards' triple century is not an FC century.

It wasn't meant as a serious suggestion (but then again, it's about as logical as the current selecion process)

I know, but I couldn't resist.

I think that it could be a good selection? you dont have to play 100 matches before you are good enough for the test side? Remember Tendulkar played for india whilist only appearing for Bombay twice prior to that

 

[Langeveldt]

Hmm, whatever next


Keith Arthurton? :rolleyes:

Yes, but how can the selectors tell if he's good enough for the Test side? By seeing him in a net session? In trial matches? As far as I know, he didn't play any serious regional youth cricket.
I'm somehow doubting that it will pay off. Bad stuff has happened today and I foresee more of the same for tomorrow.

I hear Sobers is back in the nets...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Well Fidel is in...

Supposedly it will be a quick pitch, according to the curators.

he must be incredibly nervous.... might give that test a bit of a watch

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

He's bowled well so far. He certainly does look like the offspring of Waqar and Jeff Thompson and has some zippy pace (88-90mph).

Atapattu was dropped of the 5th ball of his first over but he got Jayawaredene brilliantly caught by Gayle at slip right before lunch.

SL 3 down.....

 

[V Reddy]

Grrr:!( No telecast of WI-SRL Test series here

 

[Rich2001]

He looks ok from the very lunch time highlights, however does anyone else feel his bowling arm is rather low? he seems to bowl from about 1 - 2 o clock

 

[Langeveldt]

I think hes got a very good bowling action, and it shouldnt be altered, apart from the fact that he should be delivering from 12 o clock and not 2 o clock

Oh yeah not saying his action is bad, just his arm seems to low at the momment.

 

[Neil Pickup]

85.4 Edwards to Nissanka, OUT: five wickets on debut! good length delivery outside the off stump, Nissanka plays at it and ends up edging it straight to Gayle at second slip, it's all over

Sri Lanka 208/10, Partnership of 0
RAP Nissanka c Gayle b Edwards 0 (2b 0x4 0x6)
WPUJC Vaas 12* (80b 1x4) FH Edwards 15.4-1-36-5 (1w)

Well...

 

[Tim]

Well blow me down...Edwards destroys Sri Lanka.

Can someone start a "who is Rikki Clarke" thread - may get him a few better performances!
