I've looked at the screen twice since putting the cricket on and both times Hughes has been square cutting. Keep bowling there fellas, it'll make it all the more surprising when someone doesn't.

The England bowlers of the 90s at various points weren't actually that bad. Spinners were always poo poo but a prime Gough, Cork and maybe Caddick on a good day would probably get in the current side.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Yeah he took a lot of wickets against the English who have can't play spin as a racial trait. You jest but people try and discount Murali's wickets against Bangladesh and they're way better at playing spin than the England side that Warne played against for most of the time.

Ole Hughsey scores some unconvicing runs and Johnson looks like he isn't complete poo poo for a 20 minute passage of play or something and the Australians are having a wank about it. It's all going swimmingly for England at this point.

Taylor's the one who Pietersen said was poo poo, causing a "senior player" to "confront him". The senior player was never named but I have it on good authority it was Ian Bell. Got all up in his face and asked him if he wanted to tango, apparently. Pietersen soon backed down.

I don't know if it was Bell really, Prior was a likely candidate iirc, although Trott isn't averse to fisticuffs and him and Pietersen have never got along (well, no one gets along with him, they don't even try and hide it anymore).

Hand size and grip would be something which the average man would have an advantage over the average woman, plus spin bowling takes a lot more out of the body than it might look (elbow, shoulder and back injuries are a regular occurence). It's an endurance discipline as much as anything. There's more chance of a competitive spinner than fast bowler, but it's not particularly likely either imo.

Wade reminds me of Prior when he first played tests, complete with abysmal keeping and poo poo awareness. And a lippy oval office it seems.

Funny how when Giles was in charge of Warwickshire Chris Woakes was rarely seen in an England shirt, but now all of a sudden he gets picked to trundle his 75mph filth in India of all places.

Thing is Woakes is a perfectly reasonable player to pick in the right conditions - i.e. in England. I find it funny that he rarely seemed to get picked in the middle of the county season when Warwickshire might miss him.

Of course he should open, he opens in all limited overs cricket and does pretty well. They're desperate to shoehorn Bell as an opener though for some reason.

Yeah I dunno why you'd put a part time spinner on in the last 10 overs in a game like this. Seems to be a thing with England; put the part timers on early and late and the main spinner goes in the steady middle overs. loving wrong way round, dickheads.
