Why do we have this bloke in are one day cricket team. I think he isn't good enough to play for England.
I was just watching that ICC Champions Trophy Final against West Indies and he really lost that game for us, with his shitty delieveries. It still pissis me off  :x

I know, but I am sure he will be back. But why was he in the team in the first place.

(sorry, I think I was a bit mad after watching the ICC final again)

And I'm sure that he won't

He was in the side because he had a very good domestic year and had performed well in all the ODIs he'd played in

 The thinking was that he could hit quite effectively, as say a number 9 batsmen as well as bowl a few tidy overs.
