Title: Another injury Post by: larwood on Monday, July 10, 2006, 14:56:50 This time its happened to poor lovely Matthew Hoggard, and its not looking good for the first test against Pakistan which starts this Thursday :cry:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/5163300.stm The squad for Thursday is Strauss;Tres;Cook;KP;Collingwood;Bell;Jones;Plunkett;Hoggard; Harmison;Lewis;Panesar;Mahmood. Bell deserves his recall,but the bowling without Fred and possibly without Hoggy is going to be the weak point again i fear.At least Harmy is back :) And it isn't a ODI so the wide rule isn't so hard :roll: Title: Another injury Post by: sonic youth on Monday, July 10, 2006, 17:10:21 i think we're okay with the bat, it's just the bowling.
mahmood is rubbish, not sure why they're bothering to persue with him. glad to see monty back 8) Title: Another injury Post by: larwood on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 15:45:40 Monty was always going to return for the test side :beers:
I agree the bowling does look dodgy,no Fred, possible no Hoggy,can't think its going to be easy :( Mahmood isn't a bad player in tests at least,of course Jimmy Anderson is out too,he would be there if he was fit. Will these injuries never end :boohoo: Title: Another injury Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 17:31:51 stop crying about the injuries Larwood :soapy tit wank: we are shite anyway. it was inevitable we would go on a downward curve after the ashes

Title: Another injury Post by: larwood on Wednesday, July 12, 2006, 07:11:06 Quote stop crying about the injuries Larwood But its true,our injuries have been awful,Vaughan,Jones,Giles,Freddie and now Hoggard :( I agree a bit with what you say about a downward curve happening after the joy of winning the Ashes,lest we forget the lack of injuries and all the winning test series prior to last summer,BUT i believe we do have a bit of an excuse for us being to shit due to all the sodding injuries :cry: Title: Another injury Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, July 12, 2006, 12:08:30 Quote from: "fatbury" bit disappointed Dalrymple and Read werent brought in for Panesar and Jones to be honest ... we better hope Hoggy makes it ... our bowling is bad enuf without him being out you moan about our bowling being bad and in the same sentence wanted to bring dalrymple in for panesar. jd's gonna be a good odi pl;ayers but he's never going to take wickets in tests he's just not aggressive (or good) enough |
