I think we can forget any chances of not prequalifying for ICC Champions Trophy ... Sri Lanka have Bangladesh at 45-5 in the first of 3 one day matches!

265 all out,not a bad effort.Well played by Blackwell, Jones hit 30 too [Geraint that is].Of course we can't read too much into the game,but it'll get the lads a bit warmed up for the real stuff.

Yes,rather a comprehensive victory for the lads :) The bowlers did well,i'm still a bit concerned about the batting though.
I know it doesn't mean a lot, but its a better start than the one we made in Pakistan and will give them some confidence.


Title: Warm up match 1.
Post by: fatbury on Monday, February 20, 2006, 12:52:30
Blackers did well !!

My early 11 for 1st Test - providing we dont get injuries

Tresco Strauss
Vaughan
Pietersen
Flintoff
Bell
G Jones
Blackwell
S Jones
Harmison
Hoggard


Title: Warm up match 1.
Post by: Johno on Monday, February 20, 2006, 12:57:42
they'll be more than one spinner i reckon. but they've got jones back for this series, dunno what they'll do.


Title: Warm up match 1.
Post by: fatbury on Monday, February 20, 2006, 13:01:38
yeah but im betting Vaughan is the 2nd spinner?


Title: Warm up match 1.
Post by: Boeta on Monday, February 20, 2006, 14:13:16
it'll be

tresco
strauss
vaughan
bell
pietersen
flintoff
g jones
blackwell
hoggard
jones
harmison

unless hoggard bowls like a twat in the next match then perhaps panesar will come in for him

Vaughan can chuck down a few offies and I think KP could too

blackwell as the main spinner? im the biggest blackwell fan here, but on his own? he'll get attacked and smacked all over the place. The fast bowler at the other end will be tight.

I think its the only real option,what with KOS out and Udal struggling for fittness as well,also Monty is an unknown quality.Plus all our success has come with the four fast boys and one spinner,the only reason two spinners played in Pakistan was because Jones was injured.
I'd also agree with what Boeta has said  too :)

disagree

blackwell's strength is keeping it tight - didn't you watch the ODIs in Pakistan?

so blackwell can tie an end up and chip away like giles does and let the quickies attack at the other end

I don't support or follow any county :( Maybe i should become a Somerset fan :wink: ?  
Maybe thats what we should do,have a TEF cricket day out,a few flagons of cider sitting in the sun,Spuddy shouting abuse at Blackwell 8) Roll on the summer.

Interesting that GARETH BATTY got 7 WICKETS in the match against Antigua

Have we left our best option out??

No i would be throwing Pasties at him.

well, larowood, support the sabres. Never a dull moment really. I'll be going down nearly every week as im a member.

yeh, blackwell can be tight, very. He normally though works with another spinner so ther batsman have both options. Of course, it could work that he is just as tight as ever.

The good thing about blackwell, is that he can bat, or has the capabilites! I think he has 6 sixes over my head in one game  :soapy tit wank:

He'd be like a performing seal at Sea World,jumping around trying to catch them.
Assuming of course he's playing,who's to say he won't be part of the England team :wink:
