Pietersen would've been a heavy scorer.
But yeah, we'll take that lot. Will be quite close because India only have about 4 good players and the rest are garbage.

Of course of course
I don't have to watch Bopara get trapped on his heels for 1 again.

I don't know how Samit Patel's got himself a ticket. There's no way he should be there. What a fat mess.
Tbf you dont need to be the fittest to play TestsQuote:

Excellent piece on the impact T20 has had on Cricket
Some of the best bits
Quote:
"When T20 started, everyone took it quite lightly as a bit of fun, whereas over the years it's become a very big event and there's a lot of prize money at stake now," said Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon.
Play media
"T20 has been the saviour of cricket in some ways.
Quote:
I believe there's a possibility future cricketers will not play Test cricket for their country and will instead go on to play only the shorter format.
Quote:
Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest batsmen the world has seen, said it is becoming harder to attract large crowds to Test cricket in his native India.
"In terms of attracting people to the grounds, it is getting quite difficult," the former India captain told the BBC Asian Network.
"I think there is still a following for Test cricket in India, but the challenge is now is attracting people to the grounds."
Village cricket indeed :haha:Quote:
Some international players prefer to play in the IPL rather than Test cricket
Tests :rose:
Lost a lot of respect for Ramprakash for becoming the Ian Wright of the cricket media world.
He was the biggest disappointment/failure at the Test level despite his talent. Of course he's going to support the shitter version.
Stick to Strictly Come Dine In The Jungle or whatever cruddy channel 5 show accepts appearances from washed up, has-beens-that-never-were. ****.
Nah, don't mind Rampers. Nice lad. Pub-trivia: His dad lives very near where I was.
Patel. :lol:
Everybody needs a food guide though I suppose.
Piers is KP's new PR man.Quote:
100% NO. RT"@Tom67308530: @piersmorgan did he really advise south African players on how to bowl to the England captain?
We'll get stuffed in the T20 WC, hammered in India, and then everyone will beg KP to come back for 2 Ashes series. It's all so pathetic.
As for the gutless, toadying cricket press who joined in the KP persecution - don't you WANT us to win?? #ECBClowns
The ongoing victimisation of @kevinpp24 is a total disgrace. ECB hasn't produced a shred of evidence against him. He should now sue them.
So England now drop their best player of spin bowling & most popular star in India..for the India tour. Yep, makes sense. #ECBClowns #KP
"Best player of spin bowling?" :haha:
India's best bowler is left-arm spin...
Actually, no it's not, he's right-handed.
In that case, should've taken KP
KP apologised to Strauss
Get him in the England team
Lost a bit of respect for KP. I really thought the mastermind team of Piers and KP were going to get out of this without begging.
:lol:Quote:
Porterfield added that the impending loss of bowler Boyd Rankin would leave a "big hole" in the Irish attack.
Rankin has decided to quit Ireland duty in the hope of earning an England call-up.
England&Ireland&SA :bow:
Simon Taufel will retire after this tournament :faint: certainly the best umpire out there
hes been around years though hasnt he? shame though as he was the bestQuote:

Too little too late.
Needed him for the T20 WC
Abdur Rehman has been suspended for 12 weeks after a positive drugs test. :doh:
KP signs a 4 month contract with England
Fuck. India are screwed. Unless we've got a left-arm spinner about.
Some quite funny stuff going around about that. Apparently Pietersen is undergoing a 'reintegration' process. What does that mean? The ECB compared it to a criminal being reintegrated back into society. Except 'society' here means FIFA 13 and banter on tour.
I bet Pietersen would be a nightmare to have a pint with. Those poncy, hair-dyed twats with extravagant style tend to be boring as fuck to talk to. People who don't feel the need to go out of their way to look interesting tend to be interesting.
Maybe the rules are different for nerotic z-listers.

More match fixing claims
@SkySportsNews: ICC suspend six umpires from Pakistan, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh being probed for match-fixing allegations.
Kirkut, what happened to you?
The sub-continent is shit. Should've let the English keep ruling, gandhi's a dick.

That KP 'reintegration' process in full: 'Hi Kev, we just realised we'll get hammered in India without you. Can you come back?' #ECBclowns
And he's absolutely right. Saw this coming a mile off.
Looks like KP got first class honours as a Bachelor of Banter. Did they really think they could fool people into thinking this 'reintegration' might turn out any different.
Didn't take long for the reintegration. I suppose they all think the same thing about Strauss anyway. :ninja:
Tony Greig has lung cancer. Stage/severity isn't known yet. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/...ry/587398.html
Don't particularly like the guy but since just last week I've been carrying a 'concern' (nothing conclusive) myself and it's not pleasant. So best wishes to that anti-Indian WUM for a recovery.
Anyone been watching the Village Champions competition? It has been quite good. Star-studded teams playing against eachother.
It's on Eurosport 2
Perth Scorchers vs Dehli Daredevils.
Dehli's line-up:Which is an awesome line-up on paper.

Michael Beer. :haha:
The ultimate pub teamer.
Yes, came out of the blue. Good luck to him. He is a hideously bitter WUM to be honest, but not nice. Hope all's well with you Syn.Quote:
