Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: janaage on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 16:09:11 Yeah not a bad total, should make it an interesting second half of the ODI.
Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Spencer_White on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 16:19:00 What a celebration for the hundred. Fantastic. Il try and get that video clip on my phone. There were about 3 people clapping him off the pitch. GUTTED! All ours now chaps. Have that in your racial quota system.
England keep finding these players that are making the grade when they first get in the side which we have been unable to do in the past. Swindon Town England flag pride of place (again). Im off with a bad back today (cough) so KP you made my day. Get in. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: janaage on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 16:36:03 Off with a bad back!!! What's the world coming too? Good day to throw a sickie though,

Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 20:37:14 Tied, don't know how we managed it.
It feels as good as a win 8) Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Johno on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 20:45:42 how did we get a draw... 3 wickets in the last over and Ali fucked up the first ball of the over! 8)

Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Spencer_White on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 20:55:43 The Sky satellite seemed pretty close to breaking down. Good job it didnt do it during that last over, my TV would have paid the full price. The picture gave up during the closing ceremony. Anyone see Gibbs snatch his check? Temper temper Herschelle.
:ha Still not sure if Ali has done enough to keep his place on friday. There was too much pressure on Gough and Hoggard to get wickets. I think Harmy is back? Batting line up looked superb though. Bell only got a brief chance but produced some quality - the sign of a winner. I wonder how them Town fans in the big stand are getting on RIGHT now. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Spencer_White on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 20:58:57 Oh yeah, and did anyone else hear Paul Allott before the last over? About Ali he said 'can Ali redeem himself now, he's fielded like a camel down at fine leg and bowled like a dray'.
:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick A dray is another word for a carthorse btw. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 21:08:57 He said 'drain' not 'dray' or at least that's what I heard - 'he's bowled like a drain' is a pretty common cricket expression.
I think Kabir should play on Friday - he took 3 wickets, bowls a good inswinging yorker and give Harmy more time to recover (he still had his leg strapped up today). Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: DMR on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 21:09:35 Jimmy Anderson is a better one day bowler than he is test bowler
Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 21:11:24 As shown by his performances this winter against Zimbabwe and South Africa 'A' I presume.... oh.
Jimmy can't land it on the right strip at the minute. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 21:12:44 Ali looked piss scared.

Jimmy can't land it on the right strip at the minute. When he clicks though, he's the best we've got at changing pace/length/line. He won't click until he gets some games. Mate, he had 5 games v Zimbabwe, 1 Test v SA, 1 OD v SA 'A' - that's shit loads of overs. And don't try and tell me Anderson's good at changing 1) pace (he's one paced), 2) line (he changes from a good line to a shite one) 3) length - see 2). He's got so much talent but he's bowling like my nan and should really be back in England working with the Academy. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: DMR on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 21:21:25 1. He's the only bowler bar Gough whose got a slower ball!
2. and 3. Disagree, at least when he's on form Dude, it's central contracts showing their flaw. He couldn't play over the summer for Lancs, because Ingerland wouldn't let him. Ingerland wouldn't play him because he wasn't bowling in county cricket. So he's on tour with less than 110 overs behind him over the summer. Stupid. Generally I think centrals are fine, but the Aussies don't do it, they just pick form players I think. Thus, the system? If you can't beat them, join them... Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 22:03:08 Hoggard, Collingwood and Kabir have all got slower balls. Hoggard got at least one wicket in the Test series with a slower ball and Ali was going to bowl the last ball as a slower one before Gough told him to go for a yorker, whilst Collingwood bowls at least one every over.
When was the last time he was on form though? Almost two years ago. Quote Dude, it's central contracts showing their flaw. He couldn't play over the summer for Lancs, because Ingerland wouldn't let him. Ingerland wouldn't play him because he wasn't bowling in county cricket. So he's on tour with less than 110 overs behind him over the summer. Stupid. Dave, this is complete and utter bollocks. Anderson didn't play for Lancashire because he was playing for England (3 Tests and 5 ODIs - but was in all three one day squads), and he wasn't playing for England because... oh yeah he was. Now what I want to know is where did you get this 110 overs figure from? Because in the summer of 2004 James Anderson bowled 373.1 overs. Quote Generally I think centrals are fine, but the Aussies don't do it, they just pick form players I think. Thus, the system? If you can't beat them, join them... Key words here have been highlighted. Where did we get the idea of central contracts from? The Australians, who in fact have between 20 and 25 players on central contracts. So we've already joined them. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: oxford_fan on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, 22:13:48 the battle for cricket knowledge supremacy. boeta seems to have the edge over young scamp russell.
Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Johno on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 07:55:05 not really a good thing though! :wink:
Caddick should be playing, sod Anderson! :D Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 09:33:41 johno with his secret passion for older men :?
Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: janaage on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 09:54:03 Quality match, watched the last 20 overs up the gym, everyone else was on the treadmills or lifting weights, I was just stood there watching the cricket. never felt so healthy.
So how come this South African KP is playing for England then??? What's the story? Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: Boeta on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 10:21:11 KP became disillusioned with SA domestic cricket, citing the quotas (ie. having to pick a certain number of non-white players in each side - usually 3) as not allowing him enough opportunities. In South Africa, KP was an off-spinning all-rounder batting at 8, then when he came to England as an 'EU player' (because of his English mother) he basically gave up the off-spin and turned himself into a run machine, and one of the most exciting in the world at that.
Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: janaage on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 10:26:03 "A run machine" I like the sound of that. Fair play if he's got an english mother that's alright with me.
Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: santini on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 10:42:36 KP's wagon wheel of yesterday's innings was the most complete 360 degree range I've ever seen. He hit shots to every point on the ground. Masses of 1s and 2s into the gaps available no matter what the delivery line and length. He's got great mobility at the crease, wristiness, a great eye and timing. Not a bad combination.
Should be some contest between him and Warne. Bet the Aussies are already working on some strategy to exploit the way he exposes his leg stump when he moves across. Title: KP you fackin legend Post by: janaage on Thursday, February 3, 2005, 10:44:53 This summers series against the Aussies is gonna be a classic, weather permitting.

Bet the Aussies are already working on some strategy to exploit the way he exposes his leg stump when he moves across. It's a very hard weakness to exploit though - look at Lara, he exposes his leg stump even more than KP and jumps accross his stumps yet the only time in his career I can remember this being his downfall was this summer when Freddie yorked him. Bowling leg-stump lines isn't the cleverest thing at the best of times, yet alone to a player who is as good off his legs as KP. I think bowling down the channel outside off would probably be the safest way to go, although I reckon he could be susceptible to lbws early on in his innings.

The only way we'll beat Australia is by batting very well, bowling very well and fielding very well. And the only way they'll beat us is by batting very well, bowling very well and fielding very well. So cheers for stating the fucking obvious Johno.
