Cricket 2014

Dernbach clearly has the incriminating pictures that Bell had for many years. I can see no other explanation for his continued selection.

Good old Jade. Manages not to concede 17 off the last over, just, so England take a consolation win
Impressive performance from Chris Jordan and Ravi is slowly turning himself into an indispensable member of the team

Not exactly heading to the World Cup with the confidence of holders.

Chris woakes called up ? bloody hell England , why do we continue to pick such crap ?

Woakes , Dernbach Tredwell , Luke Wright all in the squad , these 4 shouldn't be anywhere near an international set up let alone playing in it..

Jordan looks a talent -

 

[Bittners a Legend]

I largely agree with you Credy but who can we pick instead of Tredwell? It is obvious it will spin in Bangladesh and I don't see anybody we have who is better. Tredwell is a smart cricketer and he is disciplined. I think he is the last of our worries in one day cricket although I don't think he has enough talent to ever establish himself in Test Match cricket.

Wright's record for England is terrible but as I mentioned previously he took apart international bowlers in the Big Bash just three or four months ago. Strange he cannot replicate that form for England in 2020 cricket (don't think he should be in the 50 over side).

 

[Jason H]

Tredwell is a fine LO player, and for me is one of the first names on the OD teamsheet - he has adapted his game for the shorter formats, mind, which is why he can no longer be considered a serious contender for the Tests (his FC stats recently have been horrendous).

[Jason H]

Yeah, I'd go with that.

 

[grecian greg]

Same old Somerset! they had a bad first day of the pre season today
I haven't even got up there yet and I am moaning already!
Is it too late to get the money back on this seasons membership? LOL
as they say
....it can only get better!
cant cope with both my cricket and football team being rubbish at the moment, glad its only pre season.

 

[CREDYGRECIAN]

Luke Wright injured and Keiswetter in , which I think is a lucky break to be honest...

England don't have power players , just looked at India , there batting line up is unreal.

England need 6 hitters , only Butler really clears the rope consistently.
