New Dazzler Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've got a ticket, but decided last night (after seeing the rubbishy weather forecast) to stay at home and follow any progress of play on Sky Sports and rock up if any play is going to happen. Fortunately only 15-20 minutes from the ground so can play it by ear. My prediction is that I won't be watching any live cricket today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne allisons tongues Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Do people get full refunds. If they do does that mean Gloucester make a huge loss? For didn't they have to pay a fee to host the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted August 26, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 You can exchange your ticket for tomorrows match in Cardiff, I'm going to that, so here's hoping the rain holds off, or else it will turn into a Cardiff pub crawl.....

Yeah, I gave that some thought, but the weather forecast seemed grim again when I looked last night, doesn't seem quite as bad now, you should get a good deal of play, possibly a Duckworth Lewis job? Enjoy your day, however it turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 It's just the wrong style of cricket, the wrong team. I'm with Swann on this one. Vince Hales Bell Taylor Morgan © Buttler Stokes Woakes Broad or Finn as Broad injured Tredwell Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Stokes and Jordan out for me, get Finn back in and Broad back when he's fit, Tredwell to play till after the world cup then I'd look to introduce a young spinner, Briggs maybe. Pre World Cup: Cook Hales Taylor Root Morgan Buttler Bopara (Broad in when fit) Woakes Tredwell Anderson Finn Ravi is good enough to be at 7 for England imo, just not good enough to be right up the order. An economy of under 5 as well is decent enough for 5th bowler and adds something different. Enough until Broad is back from injury anyway. After World Cup: 1) Hales 2) Kieswetter 3) Vince 4) Taylor 5) Morgan © 6) Buttler 7) ________ 8) Woakes 9) Broad 10) Briggs 11) Finn Can't quite decide on the last player, I was thinking about maybe slotting Tom Smith in somewhere, having a good season so far, give him a go while in form. Go with Kieswetter with Hales at the top to really try and get off to a good start. The middle order is plenty capable of adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted August 28, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Jordan was shocking, we were sat in amongst a big section of Indians, they were ripping the piss out of Jordan come the end, he was responsible for nearly 1/3 of the Indian total, never seen a bowler at that level give away so many extras. Still at least the rain held off and we found a couple of decent pubs in Cardiff after the game to wash away the memory of a poor performance.

Super Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I see Cook is now moaning about Swann having an opinion. He is starting to get on my nerves now if he can't accept any criticism then he shouldn't be captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 what is this ODI you speak of? there is only test cricket...... its about time we treated OD cricket differently then test cricket, by this I mean a different coach, captain and team of selectors, england have been doing the same things wrong for almost 20 years now, we aren't even on par with the likes of ireland and holland when it comes to ODI's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what on earth are we doing? we seriously need to get people in charge of this team with some different tactics. Cook certainly needs to just play test cricket.

Cook certainly needs to just play test cricket. we are more concurned with hitting the ropes or trying to smack it out of the ground, if batting well there should only be 1 or 2 dot balls an over, 6 singles an over for 50 overs is 300, when was the last time england even got close to that score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best batsmen in the world can score a run of pretty much every delivery. It shouldn't be waiting for the bad ball, it should be waiting for the good one. Doesn't help that our bowlers are poor in limited overs cricket too. It's a shambles to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shambles to be honest. we go into a ODI in a test match mindset, to me that says the coaching is wrong, Batsmen like cook and bell should never be picked for a ODI, they are great batsmen but they are innings builders not quick scorers, I thought we were starting to get it right in the 20/20 when we started picking players like Nixon who could come in a whack the ball but then we didn't kick on, They need to explain in depth why Tredwell was dropped (our leading wicket taker and 4th highest batsman) Why we continue to pick 3 seamers who all bowl the same speed and same type of ball, its like we've leaned nothing, where gidman or Taylor both fantastic in the limited overs game and it would of been an ideal chance to see them in the international set up, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not be absurd. Look at the career Alleyne had. One of the best one day players of a generation. Smithy was a left arm swing bowler in a period when we didn't really have one (Alan ******* Mullaley) The fact that Dernbach is the only bowler in the country that appears to have any real variations (he's also shite) is so damning on the quality of coaching in this country.

No-one remembers the ODI results. Your second statement embodies the attitude which is the problem. We should be looking for solutions to win in all forms of the game, otherwise what's the point in competing? If that's an integrated approach or entirely seperate teams it matters not, just find the best way to be successful For the next match, Cook has to go for me. I'd move Balance to open as he's durable (poor shot aside today) but can accelerate once he gets in and would be a great foil for Hales. Ali could come it at 3, keep Root and Morgan and obviously Buttler. Then we need to figure out our bowling line up and that's where I'm a touch stumped! Broad should be there when fit, Finn doesn't have the control to play ODIs and Anderson needs a rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Taunton Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Don't understand why we aren't picking players in form instead of the 'player x will be a good player in the future' approach. Trego has scored over a thousand runs this season but like someone else said the selectors don't come south of Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he offers good variation in theory, but in practice he doesn't score enough runs and doesn't take enough wickets on a regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
