what message does this send out to young english fast bowlers

[Dave the OAP]

England have called up J Durnbach for the test against Sri Lanka as a replacement for Anderson. Another bloody saffie!

This is getting just daft.

 

[Taybha]

i guess it tells them ,you are not good enough , bit suprised finn or shazad never got the nod tbh

 

[Simster]

Well we have three bowlers in the world's top ten - Swann, Anderson and Broad

Reliance ICC Player Rankings

I don't think any of them are yayas to be fair.

 

[Flavor Flav]

Dernbach learnt his cricketing trade in England. He's said before he owes everything to the english coaching.

Finn was already in the squad and is most likely to play at Lord's.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I hope he is only cover ( although Shazad could have been that) I would play Finn until Breznan is fit again.

 

[seagullondon]

and he has the name of a woman. what a joke. sack the board

 

[keaton]

It's an odd call really. Shahzad or Onions should really be next in line

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Yes. The England selectors are RUBBISH, aren't they? They honestly do not have a CLUE, about spotting players capable of making the step up to Test level. It's no wonder we are doing so very badly at the moment.


Oh.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Does it send out the message 'Bowl Faster!' ?

The message it sends out to young English fast bowlers is if you're good enough you'll get in the squad. Previously there was a tendency to wait until any decent young bowler had been ground down by the county circuit, often by having to chuck pies in 'declaration' bowling', and by the time they got international recognition they were almost beyond redemption.

I'm not too sure what his birth place has got to do with it. There's no law that says all English fast bowlers have to be born in Yorkshire.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Yeah, put Shahzad in, here's his figures in Sussex's 1st Inns - 31ovs-2mdns-145-1

 

[keaton]

Whereas Swann and Broad ripped through us a couple of weeks ago

yes but there should...

I was thinking more of Finn really, hoping that this bloke would not be brought in in front of him....yes you are right, otherwise strauss and prior wouldnt be playing,

Bit of a pointless thread then, because Jay DIRTBAG hasn't been 'brought in ahead of him'. Finn is already in the squad.

Those two had nothing to prove, their places in the test team were assured

 

[TomF]

Well at least they've not called up Rashid after his fine bowling figures this week for the yorkies.

 

[binary]

The boy is rubbish! He didn't even get me out when he was playing for Guildford!! Ok it was only one ball but that's not the point!

 

[Gangsta]

I dont think he's that good. Not ahead of Onions, Shazad, Finn or Besnan, or Jon Lewis come to that.

 

[Dave the OAP]

with all due respect, I don't give a flying ....if you think it is a pointless thread. I didn't realise you had the final sanction on what threads could be raised or not.

So you have the inside knowledge of whether finn will play instead of this young saffie then? good for you!
