smiffy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Trott has left the tour and returned home due to stress, OK fine if he is notright then pack in.What gets in my craw is the fact that the MANAGER says he has been struggling with it for some time,so why the flook then Flower have you picked him ????.If the management have been getting him to play when his head has not been right then the cupid stunts may have made it worse not better.Anyone that loves cricket could see there was a problem he was world class, then he wasn't, in a few games, hope he gets right.

Oh Bobby Bobby Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Stokes seems to be getting a few mentions - with it being a drop in pitch at Adelaide it might be worth picking another bowler, especially if we are going to pick a third seamer who has only had 1 warm up match since the summer.

Curtains Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 2nd Test Adelaide Oval tonight I expect Ballance at 6 Root at 5 Bell at 3 Bresnan for Tremlett. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2013/dec/03/ashes-england-joe-root-ian-bell-australia Come on England don't let us down.

inter politics Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If Prior was in form, I'd be very tempted to bring Monty in and go with the two spinners and play Prior at 6 and Bresnan at 7. Stokes is a tempting pick but if he has a bad game, it could scar him for a while. Ballance is a risk too but if he can get in, is capable of big scores.

smiffy Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Why all the clamouring to play Root here, play Root there, he has only played ONE innings, and that NOT under too much pressure.It's very hard to get out of a test side once your in.Swann is bowling like a pillock at the moment, bowling containment, instead of attacking.Prior would not get in if he was out, if you know what I mean.Anderson needs to step up.Most of the batsmen are out of form, and to be fair have been for some time, not just the last test.I am staunch England, but I fear we are going down in this series unless the whole team gets playing as they can again..

It only takes ONE inspired innings at the bat, and the whole attitude changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Bobby Bobby Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 In light of the late heroics at the iPro tonight maybe it's a good omen for any England players with fish related names. Michael Carpbery, your time is now. And you Greame Swann, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
