Monkeh Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Bloody useless. indeed, always the way, isn't it he needs some consistancy now, 1 hundred followed by 10 innings of 15 - 20 odd isn;t good enough, I still stand by what I said about cook, shouldn't be england captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 13, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I thought they beat Sussex ? There must be something in the water in that area of Bristol - why is it the shit sporing sides think they are on a par with their superior neighbours?

MichaelRobartes Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 well done root, (always the way when I moan about a player) Can you please systematically call all the playing staff of BCFC and Munster Rugby shite when the new season comes around, Monk? I'd appreciate it no end. Good stuff from the middle and lower order, hopefully getting 500 for the first time in what seems like forever will give the team a bit of confidence.

Lrrr Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I had been noticing his stats over the last season or two and noticed they looked pretty good. Sad to say but I think England's coaching has ruined Finn, had great potential as an international bowler but being put behind Bresnan and having his bowling changed near enough destroyed him.

Sad to say but I think England's coaching has ruined Finn, had great potential as an international bowler but being put behind Bresnan and having his bowling changed near enough destroyed him.I don't think it's England's coaching as such. There were a lot of pretty significant kinks in Finns action that various coaches will have been trying to iron out, all the while he's being expected to be England's strike bowler in test matches. Finn was given too much to do too soon and he should have been protected more while he developed. Just because someone is tall and bowls and 90mph shouldn't mean that he automatically becomes a test player As for Plunkett, it's just a shame he didn't get to work with Jason Gillespie 2 or 3 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn was the quickest Englishman to 50 test wickets, the only problem was him hitting the stumps which he was sorting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say but I think England's coaching has ruined Finn, had great potential as an international bowler but being put behind Bresnan and having his bowling changed near enough destroyed him. They did the same to Jimmy when he was younger, but going back to Lancs and his old action sorted him out. No reason Finn can't do the same. No idea why they have to mess about with them. If they're taking wickets, leave them alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Typical of England to go from such a position of strength to a real danger of losing this test. The bowling from Jimmy and Broad first up was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Cook was so nervous at the toss that he could hardly speak. No wonder he chose to bowl. Anderson and Broad should be embarrassed and for Jordan to return with match figures of 0-140 is remarkably bad. I know he is new but he must do better than that.

All the bowlers have looked tired, especially Jordan, not much rest following 1st test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
