There has to be a place for Stubbings in there somewhere.

No. Either too old, or too immobile....Often both.

In the daylight or otherwise.

I'm sorry, but Rob Key isn't an ODI opener.

Have you watched any Kent one day cricket recently or even T20?

Look i'm the forum fattist but even I wouldn't rule Key out.

So (in the fattist league) is the conclusion Key > Sales?

Give them both a go..... Nothing to lose really have we?

No, but the other England players have... the buffet.

Boom-tish.

Well we've won 2 of our last 10 ODI's against a team that we were supposedly 'favourites' to beat every time. So you're right that there is nothing to lose.

There must have been quite a few punters who cleaned up betting on the Kiwis during this series.

Aye, me included... ridiculous the odds even for the last game considering we were in disarray.

He's got a better chance of scoring us runs up top in a ODI than Bell or Cook, thats for sure, and he'd go at a better lick as well.

by Henry on Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:48

Admitedly, I haven't seen Key bat for a couple of years now. But I still remember the fat blob who couldn't hit the ball off the square against the Windies and NZ in the ODI tri series 4 years ago.

So he's a powerplay enforcer these days?
