I think Blunder only picked you so he could piss you off by batting you at 8 below Gazza, and Howe retracted his selection of you. So taste it.
Yes it is. I have been picked twice. Whether or not I've stayed in those teams or the reasons for being picked are irrelevant. I have been selected in this team on two occasions. I wouldn't even pick myself and said that I didn't expect to make any sides so I don't know what I'm meant to be 'tasting' or why you've stuck your fucking oar in.
Pick a cricsim team to vs England in a test series. With an abundance of elite spinners would be interesting to see what balance would be adopted.
1. %BJT Manera 2. %SM Morgan 3. Want to pick Rusty or GYR but they're in gash form so it'd be Deane/Parker/Martyn and probably a reshuffle 4. %J Torres 5. %SA Flack 6. %JA Chewie 7. %LE Schaw 8. %GJ Weaver 9. %AD Hunt 10. %WC Welker 11. %DA Eggman
What would a typical english test pitch be? 6 fast 9 medium 4 spin I thought maybe you'd only go in with the one spinner and usealec or heef. Skill gap too vast?
That's more like a county wicket, really. Depending on the ground or time of year it'd be more like 5 fast, 2 medium, 3 spin.
I'd presume English conditions would be difficult to replicate on the simulator, as it presumably doesn't have a "swing" factor in it. England is way more about what is happening above than below IMO.
