Re: Ballance talks up his England chances by ZIMDOGGY » Mon May 21, 2012 7:26 am speaking of HHM, where {he} at? This is why I stopped bothering with this site, this guy makes some blatantly racist statements and people just leave him. It embarrasses even the forum, it's administrators and people t...

Haha Price is a good player, by mediocrity I meant the strategy of including him in the team-he's a defensive bowler; he stems runs and won't take many wickets unless it's T20 or the opposition is piss poor. Prosper on the other hand, has returned taking wickets-we saw it against Bangladesh when he ...

Then what does Utseya have to do to get into the team? He clearly out perfomed Price since the warm-ups against Aus A. Not long ago we were blaming Utseya for the same reasons that we are praising Price for 'economical but not taking wickets'. With this kind of thinking i wouldnt be surprised to se...

I would have thought you'd have to be Zimbabwean(even by residence) or at least have a grand parent who is/was Zimbabwean.

All this talk about tying up one end is fair enough but THIS IS TEST CRICKET-you need him to take some wickets on a spinning track. Swan holds up an end and takes wickets-Utseya might be able to do that better than Price. Utseya is MUCH better than you people make him out to be-it's ridiculous how u...

Also-all this stuff about Price reducing the run rate being great is unambitious. In tests TO WIN you have to TAKE 20 WICKETS not keep the opposition scoring at a couple per over. That's all good in ODIs but for tests-I'd rather go for a few and take wickets than just stem the run flow.

Oh how I hoped someone would bring this up! Utseya>Price in tests-he'd take more wickets I feel; he'd be more threatening(especially recently). Price doesn't seem to be asking questions of the batsmen, you feel the only way he'll take a wicket is if the batsman takes a risk or looses concentration b...

Anyone else think Vitori should try bowling round the wicket (over for the RH)? The angle would bring the ball back into the stumps and his natural action would do so too. What he's been doing is just putting the ball in the slot to be driven and when he bowls it shorter it gets pulled. He wasn't hi...

This thread is foolish! The man has scored 2 centuries and 50. As much as we may want him to score 100s in every innings, we have to accept that in real life, that doesn't happen. Don't even whisper things like this lest we put the man under unnecessary and unwarranted pressure.

Hard luck Vusi, was a great knock! Again he seems to only get out when he wants to, perhaps would have been pertinent to hold off the risky stuff till after his 50 or lunch. I wouldent say using your feet against the spinner is risky, he was not going for the hit over the top but looking to get to ...
