[Stephen Bailey]

Shane Bond?! He's not played for ages and will be lucky if he does again. Although I hope he does play again, mainly for himself but New Zealand NEED a top class bowler fast!

[squiz]

well you can tell you're from england. vaughan and strauss over smith and sehwag? And you wouldnt need 6 bowlers in your side, so you could take out ntini and chuck in another batsman

 

[Will p]

hmm wel i found it hard to choose between vaughn and smith i guess smith is better when u think about it, but strauss should be in i think, agains the number 5 and 10 bowler in the world he got 126 and is currently unbeaten on 51. His test match carreer start, 4 hundreds, 4 fifties from 8 matches! Then id take out ntini and put in Sehwag

 

[Pak_cricketer]

I would prefer putting Shoaib in the test matches because ther are no fielding restrictions but he is far too expensive for odi especilly when you need him and he will get tthe opposite team off to a good start..

i refuse to habe murli of harbs because this is cricket..not baseball!

What does harbs mean?

And I assume you're trying to say that you don't want Murali because he throws..... he doesn't.

 

[DeLonge182]

What does harbs mean?

And I assume you're trying to say that you don't want Murali because he throws..... he doesn't.

sorry, harbs is short for harbajan (ill go edit that). And your right, strictly speakin murili doesnt chuck, it is just my personal opinion that the flex in his arm is a bit much(without the cast).

its also meant to say murili OR (not of ) harbhajan

 

[andrew_nixon]

it is just my personal opinion that the flex in his arm is a bit much

So you ignore the scientific evidence?

 

[DeLonge182]

not entirely, but its a bit doodgy to me.the fact it took all this sceince to prove its a legal action shows something itself, does it not.

 

[andrew_nixon]

yes, it shows that his action is legit, and that the naked eye doesn't always tell the full story.

 

[djkay]

Lol... another troll!
