Unless he backs out, Ash is the 'keeper.
Ah, the spineless boards of cricket control...besides, wouldn't the ICC fine us if we fielded a second-string side, too? I'm sure that's why the ECB forced Vaughan to go...Mr Mxyzptlk said:We didn't invite them, the ICC assigned them and we'll be fined if we reject them.
As that is the case, why aren't tours made official before about five days before they start? Surely they should be planned at least a year ahead...Mr Mxyzptlk said:Oh but we are. We're part of international cricket and thus governed by the supreme body that is the ICC.
oh right *blushes* many thankssuperkingdave said:Dont think thats the official squad its just Jamee's opinion
You clearly have no concept of CW time.Samuel_Vimes said:As that is the case, why aren't tours made official before about five days before they start? Surely they should be planned at least a year ahead...
Surely you realize how pedantic you are being. Hate to ruin the illusion, but it's just a game...Samuel_Vimes said:Given that we are governed by some variant of the Ten-Year Plan (sounds like Chinese planned economy...), surely there must be a list of forthcoming tours somewhere, which is made official to the general public? And that has NOTHING to do with CW time at all, as the Ten-Year Plan lasts till 2009!
I'd rather you let me make the statement than continue with your Malcolm Speed & Robert Mugabe cover-up-and-love-in.Mr Mxyzptlk said:But Mr Pickup, you already expressed to me that you won't be available to play, thus you're being rested in the Harmison/Flintoff sense.

Neil's not being rested because it's a weaker team though, he's being rested to try and limit what he says about the tour and the morality of it.Cloete said:I don't think it's fair if we rest players who don't want to be rested. If the ICC has assigned us to play Zimbabwe, then I want to play Zimbabwe. I don't want to be rested just because they're a weaker team.
i wouldnt mind sharing the load if you decided to give another player a goMr Mxyzptlk said:Unless he backs out, Ash is the 'keeper.
You've already diminished its effect.Mr Mxyzptlk said:No one is actually stopping you.
Yeah I know.... I was responding to most of Jamee's suggestions.marc71178 said:Neil's not being rested because it's a weaker team though, he's being rested to try and limit what he says about the tour and the morality of it.

He's free to speak, but he's already communicated that he's not going to play.Me a few posts above said:No one is actually stopping you.
That would make little sense, seeing as you just started playing ODI cricket and have done well so far.ash chaulk said:i wouldnt mind sharing the load if you decided to give another player a go
Still, no one is stopping you.Neil Pickup said:You've already diminished its effect.
