King can't bat???...he can bat better than you know cricket champ!!!

In reply to CCW

King
Haha

In reply to allan

I note you keep calling out King but anybody who knows the game an watched him throughout this series would recognise he easily makes this team ....some of yawl want to see failure just to satisfy yuh prediction of a player not being good enough....a true fan would want to be proved wrong fuh the sake of the team!!

In reply to CCW

What wrong ?
We had responsible coach and players up to Brisbane and Pakistan
Those players and team should have been retain

There was no need to change Coley, Hodge, Athanaze etc

In reply to allan

The need to give the Nepo king his team , has taken us back another several step

In reply to allan
Dude....just move on from that an support the team on show....the names you mentioned are not the great loss you might think!

In reply to allan

And de silva, who was the leader on the pitch

In reply to CCW

The test matches we won in Brisbane and Multan had the following batters.

Athanaze
Hodge
Jangoo/Carty/Kirk McKenzie - #3 batters
Imlach/Jos DaSilva - wk/batters
Kraigg/Louis - openers

Dont tell me that these players will not have given a better effort after playing together again and with increasing confidence

Instead we tore up the team and selected

Chase
King
Campbell
Hope
Anderson

And look where we are now

In reply to allan

ANderson only play half game...give the man a break
I don't disagree, but no reason to call out Anderson

Well this is what happens when you have flat track bullies who focus their career on kiddie cricket whack-a-ball instead of the real deal.

It is fine not having proper technique when you are batting on a road against spread fields and with rules set against the bowlers. Different story when the real cricket starts.

In reply to allan

You keep goin on about what they did in OZ .....how have done subsequently....give me some stats....seems like ur better placed to select the team than the selectors....stats please I'm waiting!!!

In reply to CCW

In reply to allan

In reply to allan
