Tresco on his way home!

Collingwood in and Cook up to opener I reckon!

 

wtf is up with him?

 

Doesnt like being around Panesar I suspect!

Tresco seems to have an aversion to anything Indian.

 

RE: Doesnt like being around Panesar I suspect!

Think I've missed this story. what's really up with him?

 

Its only just broke,

5-Live were just talking about it.</p>

Maybe he isnt mentally there.</p>

Better he goes now than when he collects a pair of ducks in the 1st test.</p>

 

Good thing really

They would have played him in the first test and as you say he'd have made 2 low scores. Thankfully this does not leave us with a hole in our batting, in fact it strengthens it. Cook has great mental stability and plenty of ability and Collingwood will shore up the tail end.

 

'Stress related illness'...............

 

stress related-see link to BBC

Collingwood can also bowl a few , once we get bored of

&quot;Half-Volley&quot; Anderson.</p>

Onus will be on Strauss to get after Lee as Cook looks to be more of a grafter.</p>

 

not forgetting...........

&quot;Wideish long hop&quot; Mahmood

 

I just hope Flintoff is up for bowling 30 overs a day.

If Harmison and Hoggard are still out of form then we could be struggling a little!</p>

 

RE: 'Stress related illness'...............

what a puff

 

I gave a lot of thought to your last post re team

and I reckon:-

Haydon
Langer (Phil Jaques?)
Ponting
Michael Clark (Simon Katich)
Michael Hussey
Shane Watson (Andrew Symonds?)
Adam Gilchrist
Shane Warne
Brett Lee
Stuart Clark (Shaun Tait? Nathan Bracken?)
Glenn McGrath

 

RE: Collingwood can also bowl a few , once we get bored of

Plus Collingwood is one of the finesst fielders in the world (alongside Monty Panesar - ran someone out yesterday!!!!).

Its all good stuff, can't wait for it to start.

Cook is a grafter, he'll stick there and let Strauss, Bell, Pietersen and Flintoff do the talking whilst keeping the runs ticking over on his side.

 

RE: I gave a lot of thought to your last post re team

Its a hell of a strong looking team it has to be said.

But, we said that about the team that toured England last year.

 

RE: I gave a lot of thought to your last post re team

I really hope they don't play Jacques or Tait.

 

If our bowlers are on their game,

I reckon we can knock that batting line-up over for less than 300 more often than not.</p>

Also that bowling line-up looks good for at least 350.</p>

Warney will get is usual 5 wickets , however that will be for 150 runs off 45 overs. This will give England 350+</p>

 

RE: I gave a lot of thought to your last post re team

I don't think that they'll play either jacques or tait.

Jacques will get his chance as soon as either Hayden or Langer has a bad match. Tait is close too.... a bit a gunslinger to liven things up... even he doesn't know what delivery he's going to bowl next..

 

Touting Blobert Key as a replacement!

For goodness sake!</p>

Why not go the whole hog ang bring back Ramprakash or Hick!</p>

 

He throws it nearly every ball.

Has he ever been under investigation for an illegal action?
