He's an attacking batsman who plays spin well, both things that England have in short supply. The only other player even remotely comparable is Moeen Ali, who's just a perpetual unfulfilled talent.

England should probably drop Prior because he still seems to be a bit poo poo.

IIRC, it was about wanting to be in a new environment and a fredh start.

He didn't get on with the Wellington team. Hagley Park looks like it will be a loving awesome venue when completed, good size, deck and aesthetics. I really sgould have gone down tonight considering I'm an Otago fan but wanted to watch the rugby too.

Also we should shut this thread down once the Ashes starts and not make a new one until they're finally over.

The English. For getting all our players to warm up for a test series in Australia by playing one dayers in India.

Also haha at Watson. Perhaps this will get Bailey into the team?

This is the 6th ODI to see more than 700 runs. 3 of those 6 have been during this series

This says something. Pitches haven't really been that much different from what we usually get for ODIs. It's a combination of new rules, some ridiculous power hitting which players have developed in T20s (most of these guys played in Champions League), and trash bowling.

I hope NZ prepare the greenest of greentops for India later this summer just to take them down a peg or too but we're far too nice so will prepare good decks and get crushed :(.

That footage of the Indian fielders mocking Watson is pretty classless. All jokes aside that kind of behaviour has no place in professional sport.

It was Watson so he'd probably acted the oval office himself to them at some point.

But yeah India are megacunts. Always have been really, apart from Dravid.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Laxman and Kumble are fine. Tendulkar too, once you get past the hysteria surrounding him.

That is kind of it, though - although to be honest I've no idea what India were like in, say, Kapil Dev's day, maybe they were pretty cool dudes back then.
