asterix Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Stress illness comes to the help for England team... Whichever player appears to be a weak link in the tour, just explain to him that he needs to feign Stress Illness for a honourable chickening out....
Soorma_Bhopali Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Depression is nothing to make fun about. Hope he gets well soon. As far as cricket is concerned England wont miss him one bit, in fact Bell will prove to be a better no.3 WTF ..A 50+ average player in Tests and ODI player over last 4+ years and you think England can seamlessly replace him :facepalm:
North Sea Tiger Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Yet another England player bites the dust. ECB employs an entire army of Psychiatrists to travel along with the team and it seems to have done more harm than help. If he knew that he was not 100% fit then why did he even make himself available for the tour? Stress related illness will not appear overnight.
adi B Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 WTF ..A 50+ average player in Tests and ODI player over last 4+ years and you think England can seamlessly replace him :facepalm: he avged 50+ about 2 years ago but since then has struggled be it pak series,indian tour,saf series and the ashes this summer..he now avgs 46 in 49 tests and struggled in the last 2 seasons barring a couple of series
diga Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 me thinks Bell at #3 & Gary Ballance @6 makes Eng a better team.. I think they also need to drop Tremlett & bring in Finn
adi B Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 me thinks Bell at #3 & Gary Ballance @6 makes Eng a better team.. I think they also need to drop Tremlett & bring in Finn bell will get massacred at #3,he is better at #5
SLICKR392 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Root needs to go up the order and the rest should stick to their respective slots.
diga Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 bell will get massacred at #3' date='he is better at #5[/quote'] I feel Bell should do fine..He is far too technically accomplished to get massacred. I doubt KP would budge from his position & the spare batsman not be played at #3. Root will be moved to #5
CG Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I feel Bell should do fine..He is far too technically accomplished to get massacred. I doubt KP would budge from his position & the spare batsman not be played at #3. Root will be moved to #5 The whole batting will be put in disarray now,Bell against new ball will struggle.
King Tendulkar Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Next game on flat track. Will be runs scored a plenty Perth will be next test for englanbd against MJ
SLICKR392 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Next game on flat track. Will be runs scored a plenty Perth will be next test for englanbd against MJ This was supposed to be a flat track as well. Aussies should create a nasty and bouncy Perth wicket.
King Tendulkar Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 This was supposed to be a flat track as well. Aussies should create a nasty and bouncy Perth wicket. Gabba always has pace on it. It was flat but had pace and bounce Perth will be very fast Next test is on drop in pitch, will be slow apparently. Aussies apparently thinking of leaving more grass on it to juice it up
diga Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 The whole batting will be put in disarray now' date='Bell against new ball will struggle.[/quote'] Eng doesnt have an option for # 3 .. unless Compton is named Trott's replacement
diga Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 From BBC England's performance squad, which provides back-up to the main party, is also in Australia, but no immediate replacement for Trott has been called into Cook's squad. Ian Bell could move up the order to number three, while the spare middle-order spot will be filled by Jonny Bairstow, the uncapped Gary Ballance, or all-rounder Ben Stokes, who would offer an extra bowling option.
adi B Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 bell's record at #3 3rd position 2005-2012 21 37 1 1437 235 39.91 2840 50.59 2 10 2 167 5 at #5 and 6 5th position 2004-2013 39 54 8 2281 199 49.58 4767 47.84 9 9 3 276 10 view innings 6th position 2006-2013 29 37 10 1618 140 59.92 2867 56.43 6 9 2 188 6 stark difference of avg
diga Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 bell's record at #3 at #5 and 6 stark difference of avg May be... does Eng have an alternative & moreover Bell wants to end his career at #3
Debutant Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Trott chickened out :hehe: Too afraid to face Jhonson :haha: Poms have a strategy of feigning stress and depression when the going gets tough. The irony is they will call this a BRAVE decision :hysterical: I am sure, had the coward poms cheated their way to win in the first test, then we won't have heard this bullshit form Trott
adi B Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 May be... does Eng have an alternative & moreover Bell wants to end his career at #3 compton,may as well play bell at #3 but that might be disastrous
Ghost Buster Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It is not depression' date=' it is stress due to feeling heightened level of expectation and not able to cope with it...[/quote'] I think kambli had the same problem in his career :hmmm:
Yoda-esque Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 What's with English players and depression /mental stress on tour ..first - Trescothick in 2006' date=' Michael Yardy in 2011 and now, Monty Panesar also in 2013 and now , Trott in 2013 Ashes :omg:[/quote'] Weather
