the ashes not looking promising

[coupwotcoup]

Reed is the Romford manager (unless Zody is typing) and Read is the English wicketkeeper... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/achso.gif" alt="" />

Trescothick is no great loss,he has been out of form for a while.
I believe they are sending Robert Key as a replacement.

agree with trescothick being no great loss,
Cook, Bell and Collingwood have been superb for us in test cricket this year. I hope Marcus recovers to play for England again but if he's fallen out of love with the game as he's stated, he'll never get that back.

can't wait for the ashes to start,

surprised they bought in joyce ahead of key

[coupwotcoup]

They might as well taken Jenks...Joyce will on be there as a drinks carrier....

[smallsy]

oh sh*t <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

[Kaiser Jnr]

Ed Joyce ia a good batsman though... more consistent than Key...

 

Maybe they could have took Ravi Bopara?

[smallsy]

i think they should have taken sachin tendulkar

[coupwotcoup]

Cookie is a ready-made replacement..so why the need for an extra drinks carrier?

[Kaiser Jnr]

is he that new welsh / pakistani cricketer from barnet?! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[smallsy]

if he is welsh i wouldnt want him playing for england <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Kaiser Jnr]

So you dont want Simon Jones playing for England anymore?! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[smallsy]

he is honourary englishman!!!

 

to be fair are there any actual 'english' players????

 

they all indian/pakistan/wales/australian/southafrican!!!!!

[jesus]

Depends on what you class as 'actual' english?? Country of birth or ancestory? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[coupwotcoup]

Although they are called 'England', I think you will find that they are still classed as the MCC, ergo this is why we have Sweaties and Taffs playing...plus other ex-colonials various..

[smallsy]

yes i knew that coup. but the only actual englishman is freddie.

 

cook dont count cos he from maldon!!!!
