World Cup Ladders

[Richard]

Why not give Beleg "stupid Pakistan"?
Does it all have to be done by Staff?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Considering that they're feature articles, yes, they do.

 

[Richard]

Didn't SJS write a feature-article once?
BTW... start that West Indies thread. Soon.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Liam gave you Sri Lanka though. He gave Harry stupid Pakistan.

Now even less pleased with stupid Neil not checking the stupid list and doing Harry's job for him...

 

[Richard]

So Stupid Neil now has to do Stupid Sri Lanka having done Stupid Pakistan and made Stupid Harry's Stupid Job Stupidly Easy?



(For clarification - I AM NOT ATTACKING HARRY!!!!!!!!!! )

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Or Stupid Neil could switch with Stupid Harry.

(I am attacking Harry.)

 

[Richard]

Yes, but you can get away with it, you won't get banned for making a pretty-innocent comment that gets blown out of proportion by your own carelessness in not making it clear what you meant!!!!!!

If Luke Wright or James Tredwell get anywhere near the World Cup we could well lose to Zimbabwe or Kenya...
I find it hard to believe Afzaal and Ealham are so far down the list, below rubbish like Mahmood, Plunkett, Harrison, Sidebottom, etc.
I also can't see Hoggard getting anywhere near ODIs again and quite rightly.
That Collingwood, Vaughan and Strauss are so high up says it all, really.

Most of it was done on last year's OD averages...=/
tbh i thought Ealham was well past it....

Collingwood is a fairly average batter...a fairly average bowler...but his fielding puts him in almost alone

 

[Richard]

No-one can ever be selected for fielding, it's just a side-consideration.
IMO Collingwood is below average in batting and bowling and is extremely lucky to still be in the picture for ODIs.

 

[Matteh]

39 year old Trevor Penney....picked as a subsitute fielder in the Ashes purely for his fielding....(but that's a completely different situation in all fairness)
Arguably though he only got picked for warks. so long because of his fielding....

Collingwood below average in fielding.

What tripe will you spout next?

 

[Dizzy #4]

If Collingwood's below average in fielding, then Banglandesh can win both series againest Australia this year

Collingwood below average in fielding.

Nought but a typo, and most people would probably realise that instead of trying to concoct stupidity.

Trevor Penney was a good batsman, just like one Jonathan Neil Rhodes. For fielders that good, their batting often gets overlooked.

But you'd hardly say he was anywhere near one of the top 15 in the country for batting....
he averaged about low to mid 30s...hit the one OD century in over 200 attempts...so basically a county level batsman who would never expect to play for England

He was the fielding coach.

Well... he didn't play for England and never looked like doing.
What's your point?

It wasn`t like you just mis-typed a few letters. It was a completely different word.

In the post before you said he was good batsman, said he didn't get the recognition he deserved and compared him to a test level cricketer....
He did play for England....although only as a fielder

But that's totally different, because they don't monopolize a spot in the XI with a sub fielder.
