Just wiki'd his ass
Plays for Notts, is genuinely English, no South African in him, early 20s and averages over 50 in 60 odd games for his county.
Cant be any worse than the Irishman, Indian or Bairstow. Get him in

Yeah why not. Well I say that knowing the answer but I'd do it.
Bresnan survives an umpire review
England are rocking
Strauss the fucking fat little pig faced sponge. The podgy failure. Fuck off you stupid shit.

Sammy to Broad, no run, left alone and that's Sammy's first maiden of the innings in his 27th over
Rampaul is usually excellent at picking up the tailenders.
We'll see.

1423:
Eng 363-7
It's been a bit of a struggle for the skipper today - he scored just 39 runs in 2 3/4 hours. Time for a bit of slap and tickle from Broad?England are still seven runs behind.
IPL final coming on ITV4 in 5 minutes.
Not watched one match of it and no idea whos playing but might watch this
Guaranteed more excietment than the England v WI bore
KKK v CSK
No idea who plays for who
CSK are the old boys club and will win, skippered by the biggest gangster in sport right now.
You can watch Narine whilst the Windies have Shane Shittingford bowling in England.
Come on village cricket.
Quote:
Shane Shillingford is bowling for the West Indies in this Test.
Shillingford has that same pushing-back-at-an-imaginary-person-trying-to-hug-him that Harbhajan Singh does. He gets good bounce. Has a first-class bowling average of 25. Experience over many years of cricket. Has a ten-wicket haul in Test Cricket. Will one day have a stand named after him.
He’s not Sunil Narine.
Sunil Narine has never played a Test, but will probably make more money out of cricket over the previous few weeks than Shillingford ever will. Right now more people are clicking on Narine’s ESPNcricinfo profile, the one that shows his Mohawk well as he smiles cheekily, than have probably ever looked up Shillingford’s profile (which is him looking rather uncomfortable and like he was taken by surprise).
Shillingford was overlooked for the first Test for a debutante; there is not an attack in world cricket that would overlook Sunil Narine right now.
Shillingford is a workhorse, there’s no magic, mystery or mayhem about him. That doesn’t mean he isn’t good. But he’s good as in handy, not good as in Narine.
Narine has tricks that Shillingford will be able to talk about, but probably never replicate. But it isn’t just the tricks that Narine has, his magical mystery ball is amazing, but his normal offspinning delivery is at the moment the best spinning stock ball in world cricket. It bites, and bounces. And even when his carom ball (which if you can pick it, does very little at all) does get worked out, Narine will still be world class.
The best spin bowlers use tricks to confuse batsman who can’t pick it from the hand and embarrass the tail, but it’s the stock ball that you need if you want to be a Warne, Murali or Kumble. Narine is a long way from joining this company, and while his stock ball is far better than that of the last mystery phenom, Mendis, once people pick your trick ball, that’s when it really gets tough for bowlers.
Shillingford’s stock ball is okay. It’s certainly not horrible, and when he’s on a helpful surface he can bowl for an amazing amount of hours and take quite a few wickets. On a surface like this, against a team who is willing to attack him, he looks a bit out of his depth.
In this Test so far, Shillingford is going at 4.7 an over. In the 2012 IPL so far, Narine has so far gone for 5.2 an over.
Today Narine will be watched by close to a billion people, Shillingford by only million or so. One playing for his country. One playing for his financial future.
I hope Narine plays a blinder for Kolkata Knight Riders, wins the IPL and sets up his entire future in one night. But more than that I hope as soon as humanly possible he plays for his region in a Test match.
West Indies have more than a few well-meaning workhorses who are helping them put in slightly improved performances, now they need some magic. And right now, that’s Narine.

He's very good. Would've given England some problems for sure. But who wants to write cricketing history when you can play in the Pepsi 6's Dr Martins league here, in the wonderful Chinnaswamy stadium, in Chennai, this afternoon.
Narine made the right choice
Making his name in the form of cricket which will still be around 10 years from now
Five wides from Sammy.
:haha:
Dear god.
He got a good circus contract. $700,000, apparently. Spose people already knew about him. Now he's enthralling the crowds. Right here. On a Sunday night. And guess what? Ohh they're loving it. Are the crowds. In the Chinaswamy.

Dhoni and Gambhir captains :bow:
Dhoni wins the toss and will bat
Now i just have to find out which team they are captains of
What on earth is Doni doing. This was all set-up for a maverick old boys chase, boundary off the last ball needed. And now he's ruined it by batting first. Bender.
