And Its Smith Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ali has done a decent job but he has to be dropped for a spinner who will actually bowl when the game is live. Buttler has to come in and bat 6 with Stokes at 7, Broad 8, Plunkett 9, Jimmy 10 and the spinner 11. That spinner doesn't exist so what do you then suggest? A few pundits have talked about Gareth Batty. Hardly one for the future but if we have no better option.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'll stop supporting England if Batty plays for them. We need to pick someone and keep faith.. Giles was never a world beater but with support behind him and a good seam attack alongside him we did pretty well didn't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted July 17, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'll stop supporting England if Batty plays for them. Ever since the Kartik incident last season I've detested him more than ever!

Fordy62 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 He can't be any worse than any of the current crop. You could argue for the dropping of ever player except Ballance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 He can't be any worse than any of the current crop. You could argue for the dropping of ever player except Ballance.Root hasn't done anything wrong, Anderson and Broad have bowled well in spells but are obviously being told to pitch it short (inexplicably) by a coach or a captain. Stokes, Prior and Robson need to be stood down as a minimum PS Gidman still ain't good enough, that's why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Also if Gidman is worth a look then surely Mitchell at Worcs is? Another ton today I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Also if Gidman is worth a look then surely Mitchell at Worcs is? Another ton today I see. There's no long-term planning in playing a 30 year old just because he's having a good season. We need to identify the players we're going to go forward with over the next 5 years, not who might help us sneak a series win against India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell is having a fantastic season, but as chipdawg says, there is no future there. Anyway, with Moeen with England my Pears can ill afford losing another batsman to England Anyway, back to ignoring Will Gidman.....pretty easy when you're getting smashed around by the Worcester Boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Living up in the Midlands, one of my Managers is a Warwickshire fan He told me to keep an eye out for Sam Hain... so I said I would. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/555850.html Formidable start to his career. Including a Double Hundred this week. Only problem..... Born in Hong Kong and has played youth level for Australia. It appears with the number of foreign born players in England's cricket team, it wont be a problem, but because of his participation for Aus in the U19 World Cup, can he still play for England???
