The unbelievable has happened, Darren Eyelids Pattinson has been left out of England’s squad to play the West Indies.
As has Vaughan, Bell and Harmison.
Welcome to the new England.
In comes Bresnan from Yorkshire, and Onions from Durham.
No Robbie Joseph.
The number 3 spot, which was to be between Shah, Vaughan, Bell and Key, was taken by Bopara, come on that is pretty fucken funny.
All the talk in the media about these 4, and the selectors take someone else, forgetting the tremendous waste of sperm, the pie eater, the artist and the nervous bastard.
The squad: A Strauss (Middlesex, capt) J Anderson (Lancashire) R Bopara (Essex)T Bresnan (Yorkshire)S Broad (Nottinghamshire) P Collingwood (Durham) A Cook (Essex) G Onions (Durham) M Panesar (Northamptonshire) K Pietersen (Hampshire) M Prior (Sussex)G Swann (Nottinghamshire)
Probable team:
The Wing Commander Strauss
Eyeliner Cook
Rav the Chav
KP
Malfunctioning Probot Collingwood
Bald Fumbler Number 43 Prior
The batting all rounder Broad
Token Yorkshireite Bresnan
Swann from Mars
Male Model Anderson
Stinky Headline bait Onions
The Mascot Monty as 12th
Interesting side really.
Onions has some talent. It’s about time he got a run. I’d rate him above Anderson.
Does that side have a better chance of making 300 runs an innings or take 20 wickets? Not sure I see either
forgive me for my ignorance but where is hoggard? did he join the ICL or something?
From this selection I can now confidently predict the lineup for the first Ashes test. The squad: A Strauss (Middlesex, capt) A Cook (Essex) R Bopara (Essex) K Pietersen (Hampshire) P Collingwood (Durham) A Flintoff M Prior (Sussex) S Broad (Nottinghamshire) G Swann (Nottinghamshire) A Bowler J Anderson (Lancashire)
Why’s Ben picked Flintoff – I thought he’d died in South African IPL hell hole.
Swann to play instead of Monty, too many West Indian left handers.
One Yorkshiteman in the side is too much, can’t believe they’ve picked Bresnan over Sajid.
I miss Pattinson.
I once played against Ravi Bopara – he got 0, so did I
Robbie Joseph must be close to selection given that there’s no real pace in the line up.
Jamie64, he hasn’t always had great press from down Kent way, but I get the feeling that will change this year…
