Number Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 they are good in defending against spinners just can't attack them in ODIs. :hehe: Ian Bell best batsman in all conditions. Link to comment
Robelinda Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 no team deserves #1 right now. it should be left vacant. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 "I can't see them getting moved for at least five or six years, maybe eight. I think for five or six years they'll stay pretty much as they are now. Two players - the captain and Pietersen - might be the two that in four or five years' time might fade out," Botham said. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-23/top-stories/29918210_1_ian-botham-england-players-england-captain Ian Botham :hysterical: Link to comment

asterix Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Doesn't deserves at all. Link to comment
wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Doesn't deserves at all. Not on that batting performance we dont, it was pathetic, particularly after our bowlers had got us in a winning position. I am humbled and very angry Link to comment

saneindian Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Sri lanka need to somehow pursuade Murali for one final hurrah at home vs the Poms. Give him rank turners and screw the poms. Link to comment
wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 :hysterical: wobbly was saying they can play spin I was and some of them can, but to do so they must play their natural game. They just blocked everything and never put Pakistan under any pressure. We should have let the openers open and then moved Barbie or Prior up the orde with free reighn to swipe some runs. instead we sat back and were put to the sword. pathetic, worse than pathetic cowardly Link to comment
wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Reality check. England cant play quality spin. Truth hurts. well you saw in our first innings that some of them can, but we must play some bloody shots. anyway I could equally retort that India cannot play pace:--D Link to comment

Old guy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 i still think they do atleast much more then india they competed well in bowling department but batting failed yet again they are really good at home and outside subcontinent and i still think theyare improving in subcontinent ,swann,paneser bowling unit is set now they need to learn play spin and they can actually compete here~ Link to comment
Karan114 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Sri lanka need to somehow pursuade Murali for one final hurrah at home vs the Poms. Give him rank turners and screw the poms. Herath is an underrated bowler - he took nine wickets to beat SA at Durban. Get him, Randiv and Mendis (England haven't seen a lot of him) on dust bowls and do what Ajmal and Rehman have done. Also, Lanka's batting is stronger than Pakistan's with Sanga, Mahela and Samara all capable of piling on big scores so they will have more of a cushion than the Pakistani bowlers did (not that they needed it) Link to comment

You need to challenge the spinner, that was so poor it hurts Link to comment
Cricket Tragic Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Boycott said last evening that he would bet his house on an England win. :hahaha: Link to comment
