It wasn't long ago you were saying you loved me,now you only like me :boohoo:
As i've said before Blackwell is an easy target,but i'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and i hope he shoves all our moans about him down our throats Plus the title of this thread is a cunning ruse to trick cricket haters into looking at it :evil: , it makes it sound slightly more interesting than it is.

[reeves4england]

It most certainly does. :evil:

And I'm not a cricket hater

your lucky you got like....nah not really.

well, blackwell in india could be the one seriously. The indian pitches will be difficult to bowl on, and blackwell has had years of practice at taunton. you can't argue against that, its a slim advantage for him.

[Boeta]

blackwell could be 'the one' what exactly?

i hope he does well and think he's our best option but will be very surprised if he averages less than 38 with the ball

[fatbury]

as a Somerset fan I hope Blackers does the job!

They never have been before so I severely doubt it.

ace thread title, so true.

[larwood]

ace thread title, so true.

According to the Sun its not true :shock: ,Blackwell is on a diet so he's off the creamy curries and he's lost a stone;he now weighs 17 and not 18 stone
