Title: Our own Turbanator : Monty Panesar
Post by: blinkpip on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 19:01:51
Our future spinner? Has anyone seen him play?
Will he be the first England player to wear a turban?

Thats good news we could do with another spinner to take the heat off of Gilo.

Doesn't sound too likely that he will figure much then :-))( .Considering Fletchers liking of bowlers who are at least competent at batting and fielding.Whereas the rest of us would just like a spin bowler who can spin the ball :shock: Good luck to the lad i say,maybe he'll get a chance in India considering KOS's injury and the paucity of spinners we've got.

I hope he does,but then i've never seen him play before :-))( ,it would be nice and quite advantageous to have a spin bowler who can spin the ball,just a guess :wink:
The squad for India is announced on Friday i believe.

what do you mean?

all the players that went to pakisan were totally committed. just because they didn't win doesn't mean they weren't committed

 Now would be a good time to clear out the deadwood of players who didn't perform in Pakistan......otherwise we'll just have a rugby situation on our hands with Duncan Fletcher being installed as Director of Football at Cardiff City within 2 years.

exactly Reg. the cricket team is going to suffer in the same way the rugby team has over the next 2 years so lets bring in new players again like we did 3 years ago, players that actually have a hunger for winning

Otherwise they'll just sit back on their arses and trawl in royalties and endorsements, first out should be Flintoff.....followed by Peitersen.

i do think freddie is ok. we should keep him in. peitersen should almost certainly go though! he was crap against pakistan and he is the beckham of cricket. now he has the fame he just isnt interested in the game!

 :shock:
What the fuck!?! Reg i strongly disagree and hope your taking the piss!
I know the Pakistan tour was disappointing and yes we,especially the batsmen didn't play well, but Freddie is irreaplaceable.He is the best all-rounder in the world at the moment.I agree that the players heads and egos have been enlarged some what,[ even KP's ]but to not play either of them,your having a laugh!
Lets get some perspective,we lost one test series in Pakistan after winning six series in a row.We haven't become a bad team overnight, there is no need to make wholesale changes.Can everyone stop moaning/panicking.
