England V Sri Lanka T-20

[TopCat]

We are, and always will be poor at limited overs cricket because we have a lack of batsmen able to deviate from Plan A. We seem unable to adapt to the changing situation in any particular game. 1 boundary in 8 overs in a T20 game? Woeful.

Batsmen who bowls? Well he bowls a bit but England bowl him rarely
Bowler? Er fuck no
Bits and pieces trusted to do nowt who happens to be a good fielder and have the ability to smack it to cow corner once in a while? Yes

Summed up nicely.

Woakes isn't International class either.

Bresnan straight back in when he's fit.

In time Luke Wright will prove to be a very good one day player for England and we can revisit this thread

No he won't; and then when he's plodding around the counties doing an average job then we can revisit this thread.

similar to how Bell was no good when he was too high in the order and how nobody thought Cook was that good

Yup, even if this was a wind up.

Durham would beat Australia

I somehow doubt it. The likes of Ponting, Clarke, Hussey and Watson would have a field day against bowlers like Plunkett and Borthwick.

just like the Durham batsman would have a field day against Hauritz, Kreja et al

Oh and Plunkett isnt a first choice pick for Durham in the 4 day game

This, a selfless player who shouldn't be judged on his raw stats. Probably wouldn't be in my final eleven at the moment but he wouldn't be far off.
