2ND ASHES TEST: LORDS

[brandon]

Another one day superstar not fit for Test Cricket.

 

[Mainze]

Forget this Ashes, we need a long term plan.

Foakes should be in

 

[safcpelaw]

Very good one day team who want to score runs too quick for test matches

 

[smoker]

This thread needs "Johnson" back to give us a bit of hope.
Bring back "the rat" save out team.

He ruins match threads by turning them into flame wars.

 

[mackembhoy]

Buttler somehow slipped under the radar from criticism.

Another one just not good enough at playing red ball cricket.

 

[SAFC 2012]

English test cricket is on its arse at the minute like

 

[Brett]

Another player that should ne no where near a test team is Butler, same as Roy.

When was the last time both these played red ball cricket for a long period to get in some form

The ECB have absolutely no idea how to plan long term

Said that for ages now. Blame the ECB for that

This. It's a sad indictment of modern cricket but the likes of Buttler and Roy simply don't play enough red ball cricket to be successful test players. Same as Rashid, same as Morgan, same as Hales - all who have failed at test level.

 

[scotch]

I'd give buttler 1 more test as he batted well in the last series and is a decent player of spin for the series coming up.

 

[SAFC11]

Again predictable

Buttler isn't a test player either like.

 

[smoker]

Buttler justified his selection last summer but has been out of nick in all formats this year. No way should he be batting as high as five at this level

 

[HeroHurley]

To have any chance in this game, these 2 have to be still in at Stumps. Like that's going to happen.

 

[The Breen Machine]

Buttler isn't a test player either like.

I think he can be, he showed last year he's capable but technically he's so honed to limited overs cricket that if he's out of nick then he looks terrible at test level.

 

[Mainze]

Got a horrible feeling I’ll be watching the convicts win the Ashes on day 3 at Leeds

 

[SAFC 2012]

Ffs this is pathetic
