3rd ODI, Goa

[Boeta]

after thinking more in depth, i think him going in 3 was sensible. I think he would be dropped if he could be, and im not surprised. I can't go no backing him much longer  

there's no way we should drop blackwell, as dmr says he's bowled brilliantly here - and he did so in pak as well. he's a dead cert to be in the WC squad for his bowling alone, if he get his fat arse in gear and hit the odd 30 it would be useful though

[DMR]

he's also fielded well, got good hands.

fletchers always banging on about having 2 of the 3 skills, on a good day blackwell does all 3. as boeta says, a dead cert for his bowling alone.

[Johno]

im glad im not alone....But his batting is a hell of alot better but never shows it.

not sure i agree on this, ok he's safe enough but he's not fast, agile nor does he posess a particularly fast pinpoint throw. so by being able to catch he can do 1 out of 4 neccessary skills to be a good fielder

he's only ever shown it against shit second division bowling on taunton's flat as a pancake wicket and tiny little boundaries, to be honest

[Johno]

yeh but its not as if everyone does well and smacks runs....he has also hit runs against other teams (i know its the 2nd division but once again, not everyone does well)

yet another defeat! its looking very bad on the ODI side of things at the mo!
