PaulC Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 We only have offspinners or legspinners we don't encourage bowlers to bowl the doosra. Over the years we haven't had many great spinners. To be fair Ajmal is a late developer. First I saw of him was in Pakistans infamous last series here. But he destroyed England in the UAE. Jeetan Patel has done well at warwickshire but he's not in the same league as Ajmal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I tend to try and avoid the nutters, I like to sit and watch what's going on with the cricket. Was in the football stand end, behind the bowlers arm. Not the most scintillating of play yesterday, but was nice to sit in the sun, with a few cold beers, and have a laugh with my mates. What a day at the cricket is all about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you had a good time anyway mate, definitely need to get to Headingly to watch a game considering i've been to nearly every other test match ground. On another note, what an appalling days cricket by England. Cook is going to be under serious pressure after this and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Slapped £20 on Sri Lanka to win in-play. Can't see them not winning with that rough for Herath to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yep, can see us struggling to chase down what ever Sri Lanka get. Think they might even have enough all ready. Herath is gonna play a big part in the game, in the last innings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Stokes with 7 for 67 to bowl Sussex out today. Yeah, I saw earlier he got a 5 fer. Nice to see him pick up a couple more. I think it was asked earlier, but who does he come in for, if they bring him back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Squad: Woakes.Team: Jordan.I can see the first happening but the second would be a little unlikely straight away, I'd have thought.Edit: There doesn't seem to be a lot of rest time between tests in the India series so perhaps there may be a bit of a 'squad' feel to selection?

dAVe80 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah, I think it's a straight shoot out between Stokes and Jordan. I'm not sure how either would feel about rotation, but it's worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure how either would feel about rotation, but it's worth considering.I doubt any of the bowlers would be in favour of it but looking at the schedule they have to play five tests in 41 days. The gaps between games are 3 days, 6 days, 6 days and 3 days. There could be some tired bowlers come the middle of August!

dAVe80 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah, they were saying on the commentary earlier, that Anderson and Broad are right up there for number of overs bowled, in the last 12 months. They've had some long spells in the last two matches too. Anderson especially is not as young as he used to be, so it's going to start taking it's toll on him.
