Like you could pick a more dynamic bowling attack out of the chosen squad.

Plunkett's an interesting one. All the reports are that he's progressed a lot. Haven't seen much of him to be able to say though.

by Brass Monkey on Mon 08 Mar 2010, 03:18

I'd prefer Plunkett to Bresnan. As Shoes said, he's improved. Lost a bit of nip, mind you.

by Shoeshine on Mon 08 Mar 2010, 03:19

Has he? How come?

by DJ_Smerk on Mon 08 Mar 2010, 03:25

Danny hit Plunkett for a few sixes recently...

Won't make any difference against the Bangers. They could play my mum and she'd probably pick up a few.
Wickets, that is - before any of you qunts start suggesting my old dear is some kind of slapper.

She slapped Shakib around the park a few times....AMIRITE.

If "park" is a euphemism for cock, it's quite possible.

Another great opportunity for Ban

Surely they are going to win one of these days.

The search for greater accuracy? I was solely on about since he's been touring with England. I'll have to put in the forum 'apparently' here as I can't remember what article it was from yesterday's sunday papers! I saw him at the back end of last year and he was still 'clocking' nearer the 90 mark.

Is he still mimicking his action inbetween deliveries?

Caught some of him the other day, by the looks of it he'll always being doing that!

Atherton and co brought it up when Plunkers played against Pakistan in 2006. Hopefully he's more certain about the intricacies of his technique.

by Brass Monkey on Mon 08 Mar 2010, 05:24

The likes of Atherton is very much like a forummer on here. Over-intellectualises things to make him sound better. Then gets a bee in his bonnet. Then reels out the same drawl again and again.
