smoggeordie 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thought i'd start up a cricket thread dur to popular demand England fly out to India tonight for 3 tests and 7 ODI's. Fletcher has indicated England will play 2 spinners in the tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 We'll drop Harmison and play 36 year-old Udal, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Giles is unfit I'd play that Panesar bloke, providing he does well in the warm-ups. Udal was nothing special in Pakistan. I think we should play one good spinner, not a good one and a substandard one for the sake of it. I also wish that KP and Vaughan would work on their spin a bit more. I was at Trent Bridge when Vaughan bowled Tendulkar through the gate with a perfect off break, I'd love to see him do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 It will be inetersting to see who misses out and who plays. It'll be a risk because whilst the pitches will massively favour spinners, if the spinners we pick don't do the business we will have lost a top class pace bowler from our attack who may have done bette. We really have to hope whichever spinners play do the business when called upon. I suppose they could always use Vaughan as a second spinner allowing an extra bowler to play, but i don't know that he bowls enough or is rated enough for them to risk that?

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'll be interested to see how Panesar does. How many warm-up games are there? Also hope some of the batsmen show a bit more patience in trying to build a score out there rather than going in (and quickly coming back) with the guns-blazing approach.

aaalan 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Well Thats a cool Thread...Is there any matches here in Bombay?? I am unaware of it ....If someone is goona come down for the series do let me kno... rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliver 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I was going to suggest using Vaughan as a second spinner. I like our pace bowlers too much to drop one. I presume it would be either Jones or Hoggard that doesn't play if we went with only three quickies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) Vaughan hardly bowls these days - something to do with his back I think. KP used to be a promising spinner. Oh Dr N there are two warm up matches, and the third test is in Bombay aaalan. Check the itinery: February 13 Arrive in Mumbai (Bombay) 18-20 Practice match, Mumbai (Bombay) 23-25 v President's XI, Baroda (Vadodara) March 1-5 1st Test, Nagpur 9-13 2nd Test, Mohali 18-22 3rd Test, Mumbai (Bombay) 25 One-day match, Jaipur 28 1st ODI, Delhi 31 2nd ODI, Faridabad April 3 3rd ODI, Goa 6 4th ODI, Cochin 9 5th ODI, Guwahati 12 6th ODI, Jamshedpur 15 7th ODI, Indore Edited February 12, 2006 by luckyluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
