jairamesh Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 "We do play too much cricket and if something had to give my choice would be 50-over cricket, or make it 40-over cricket or something," added Swann, who captained England in their last three Twenty20 internationals. He sooooo confused:hysterical: what an idiot!
DomainK Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I think Swann is at perfect liberty to resign from ODIs and concentrate on tests.
Geoff Boycott Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 What a bunch of girls some of you guys are. Swann's opinion is HIS opinion, not England's - in fact I distinctly remember Andy Flower stating that England were targeting the next WC! I personally think OD cricket is a bit meh, nothing to do with our success or more often failure in it. There seems to be an attitude here that England fans don't care that much about OD cricket because we are **** at it, no, the game is pretty ****, that's why we don't care that much about it. We are **** at football, but would anyone suggest we don't care about that?

And we are expressing OUR opinions (which apparently makes us girls), that Englad are **** at one day cricket, and infact been **** in tests over the last 20 years, but hey just myi opinion.
achilles Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Then why doesn't Graeme Swann retire from ODI Cricket to concentrate on Tests and T20s? Flippin double-standards !
JeffThommo_fan Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Even Australian domestic cricket, or even English domestic cricket as well, they tried the 40 over format in their domestic circuit, but now, they have to come back to 50-over matches, coz of the failure of the 40-over format. The beauty of one day cricket is, it is not overly long and not too short as well like T20 and gives a fair bit of skills representation of all dept either its bowling or batting. IMO, T20 gets over too early
carnish Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 ODIs rock... T20s suck... even IPL suck big time
Trichromatic Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 What a stupid suggestion from Swann. He needs to shut his mouth. Millions of people like ODIs, many players like it.
VRV Singh Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Why is he suggesting 40-over cricket instead? What is the point of that?
Sachinism Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Why is he suggesting 40-over cricket instead? What is the point of that? Because they play 40 overs in English domestic cricket as 50 overs is too much for the cricket loving English

Aren't girls human...why do you have to relate girls with something negative if you have something negative to say to the forum members?
vayuu1 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Why are you being sexist? Aren't girls human...why do you have to relate girls with something negative if you have something negative to say to the forum members? ignore him l,any way looks like swanny the quack quack cannot stand the drop in his ranking and that to ajmal remember his comments about pakistani team.just my bit of opinion.also they are rubbish in odi's
Ultimate_Game Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Well if ECB decides to go with Swann's suggestion and scrap their odi squad, at least we will have another ICC team replacing them (Ireland, Netherlands etc.) and we won't have controversy of associates not being allowed to play in the world cup :giggle:
phaedrus Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Well if ECB decides to go with Swann's suggestion and scrap their odi squad' date=' at least we will have another ICC team replacing them (Ireland, Netherlands etc.) and we won't have controversy of associates not being allowed to play in the world cup :giggle:[/quote'] :cantstop: the only 'top' team that wont be missed. they are the most boring team to watch in this format. so lets see, tests - eng No.1, should be retained. T20s - eng no.1. should be retained. :hmmm:
mishra Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 How is money related to the number of wickets he is getting ? As the article mentions Swann is also a TOP Bowler in ODI cricket . Are you saying since tests are not profitable , other teams are not interested in Test cricket and therefore England is successful ? What I was saying is Swann is just a looser and a shyte bowler then English media and he makes of himself. Bottom line is if he was really any good.. He will be playing IPL... So that table doesnt matter..... Also , Dont bring Pakistani player in the argument. They arent playing IPL for political reason....

saneindian Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Must have spoken at the release of the 2nd lot for his recently published book.
JeffThommo_fan Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Must have spoken at the release of the 2nd lot for his recently published book. Yea, might want to create some controversy like Shoiab Akhtar but failed miserably :giggle:
