T20 World Cup Squad

[IlfordEagle]

I looked at England's 30 for the WC & truly cannot believe Graham Napier isn't good enough to get in, even if he didn't score any runs he's still a better bowler & fielder than 2/3 of those selected eg  Dernbach (just what do the Selectors see in him because I see nothing but utter dross), Gurney, Parry. I know I could be just looking through Essex glasses but Napes is one of the most consistent wicket takers in T20 & is capable of fast scoring if he gets his eye in, it reminds me of 2009 when the great Rob Key was selected despite being a poor fielder, non bowler & not a very good T20 batting record!!

parry is a shocking pick. napes isnt in the best 15 but certainly in the best 30.

The selection of Parry demonstrates how bare is the spinning cupboard. Agree 'Plank' should at least be in the 30 man squad.

Certainly Dernbach's neither use nor ornament at the beginning of an innings but he has on occasions bowled well at the death. Quite (prepares to run and hide) but Tim Phillips could be more useful than some of those selected.

Is the spinning cupboard that bare, or is it that the profile of county cricket has fallen so that there isn't the awareness of potential talent? I mean, look at the Aussies post-Warne, struggled with some 'left field' selections because MacGill had also retired, but seem to be settling upon Lyon and Doherty with others like Maxwell House.

If it is bare - why? Too little four day cricket? Poor coaching - the like of Rashid seem to have gone backwards?

Why does it always come down to poor coaching?
Perhaps the players aren't good enough or lack a bit in application or dedication.

Why does it always come down to poor coaching?

Why does it always rain on Larry?
Is it because he lied when he was head of Essex team?

Never had you down as Britney Spears fan tickle.

Then again you are vocal in your appreciation of all things rubbish.

You can start your campaign now to get Andy Flower back as head coach as he has left the England job.

Good call.

[Valentines Park]

Good call.

I don't think that was tickle's intent but it would be funny if Grayson's card was well & truly marked as a result.

I don't suppose Larry will be sitting by his phone in anticipation of a call from his country in their hour of need.
