Bopara

[Wayne The Punk]

How many chances does this bloke have to get, only to fail again?

 

[Boo]

I'm glad someone raised this. My thoughts exactly. He's the Connor Wickham of England international cricket.

But we have an ironical problem if we try to get rid of him. Who could replace him as a bowler? He's very effective in that role - but a proven dead loss as a batsman.

Cricketing equivalent of Kevin Kilbane - heart the size of a pea.

Gives the impression that he has zero belief in his own ability. There must be a better 'bits and pieces' player than him in county cricket?

I wonder. I do.

Cheated out today

has he ever managed to see England to victory? Always seems to get in then out at the key moment. Move on.

The only way Ravi Bopara should have worn an england shirt was if he bought it from a sports shop.

Racial quota.

 

[Johnap]

I think he is in for playing the piano during those long lonely nights on tour.

 

[Dexter]

His innings today will see his place cemented in the one day teams for the next two years.

I know and that is what worries me more than anything.

good knock when the game is gone. About right.

Exactly, Mascharenas was saying what a great knock it was and how it showed what Bopara's all about. I said to my mate he has proved what he's all about, a bottler who only scores runs when there's no pressure.

 

[Dexter]

Gerrin, a return to form today. Bottled it when England needed him to put in an innings.

 

[Aidan11]

Good old Ravi.

Never fails to disappoint.
