i Will remind you of your post after his next innings. So far he has been worse than useless.

Agreed. What's frustrating, though, is seeing someone of obvious class flailing around so much.

We're all over them at the moment.
India 73/4

Text off a mate: "India are collapsing like a new year's resolution in the second week in January".

Top bowling by the Burnley Bolt.

I'm not a fan of knee jerk team selections and dropping players after only a few tests, so England's recent policy of giving players plenty of time to prove themselves, such as Bell, as mainly been a good one.

However, the likes of Morgan, Bairstow, Taylor and Patel must be wondering why they haven't received the same treatment that Bell has over the years?

Yes, I agree that Bell looks classy technically, but he's more and more beginning to look like a Hick or a Ramprakash, who were also players who looked world-class when on top of their game, but who, generally, never had the mental toughness for test cricket.

So, where is the reminder then? Or are you waiting till his current not out innings of 107 is over??

Glad you aren't an England selector!!

I always thought Bell was a cut above... [size=85Warwickshire t*at...[/size

So what are Tuesdays lottery numbers then.

Steady on. It was a match [idrawing[/i innings...

20 runs short in this t20I, I reckon. Nice hitting from Hales and Wright up front and Buttler at the back end, but not a lot in the middle.

20 short.
I blame Jade Dirtbag

Does anybody care about T20 cricket, apart from the Indians?

Looking at the crowds for the Aussie domestic stuff and the steady decline in interest over here, I'd say that this format of the game has about another 5 years left in it, before it drifts away like 40, 50, 55, 60 (

) over cricket has over the years.

Stick to Test cricket, which is the real stuff. and leave this childish dross to the Indian cricket fans, who, in reality, are the equivalent in intelligence and attention span to British football fans.

It serves a purpose. If it teaches Dirtbag to bowl straight rather than give endless wides away bowling down the leg side, then it's completely worthwhile. That looks a long way off happening though...

Interesting that it was an Irishman who won the game for England in the second T20. Makes a change from it being a South African!!!!
