[TrippyLondoner]

Where is the final test? Anyone have the list?

The oval, as always.

The oval, as always.

Despite watching the ashes for 25+ years, i did not know that.

I'm sure it's been said at least 10 times on this thread, but the player we miss most is tresco.

 

[Flashman]

Fucking hell!

Cheers Andrew, I'll have a Lancaster Bomber in your name son.

He's in cracking form this year as well. (not just at Taunton)

 

[Flashman]

Not an option though sadly (sadly for him more than anything).

 

[butchersapron]

England's loss, somerset's gain. (remember the ghosts of Monmouth! We shall be avenged)

Really like Bomber, surprised to learn it's only been around since 2002.

I like a nice pint of Wainwright as well. As an old man...

For 20/20 or one dayers yes, not test cricket though. He's had a bad couple of years when he couln't buckle down, went away, almost retired, played semi-pro football etc But Brian Rose seems to have sorted him out now - he's having a fantastic season thus far. The other one down here will be a test player is Kieswetter a just below very good keeper and a great batsmen - and still very very young.

Ah, I didn't realise he was a keeper.

 

[Flashman]

Prior's got that position sewn up for the next few years, looking very good at the mo.

(assuming he doesn't start dropping catches again)

KP "50/50" for Lord's.

Excellent - good to have Ian bell back...

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ian Bell will get out for 6 or less in the first innings.

 

[butchersapron]

Bell should be dropped.

 

[Flashman]

Oh noes!

Rather have Shah.

In fact I'd rather have the Shah of Iran.

 

[Flashman]

Bell should be dropped.

This ^^

Bell should be locked in the tower of london or something and not allowed out again ever...

I'd rather have Shah on the sole basis he isn't Ian Bell, but Ian Bell is in the squad...

pfft...

Where? Can't find this anywhere.

 

[Flashman]

Where? Can't find this anywhere.

Heard it on the radio, who in turn heard it from Sky Sports News.

Edit: ECB say he's had another injection and should play. Bell released from squad.

 

[butchersapron]

Declared fit now

 

[kabbes]

I quite like Bell.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Declared fit now

phew

 

[butchersapron]

Kabbes should be dropped.
