James Anderson played with broken rib

[Zach Package]

That's James Hird brave.

a Hird potshot on bigfooty...well i never

 

[Cooldude]

Clarke would be happy that they broke something afterall

 

[Donnie Darko]

Playing a man with a broken rib is madness. Onions could have been called in as a direct replacement. Tymal Mills was an option.
Steve Finn was badly treated. We could have said to Finny " just go out and try to bowl as quick as possible and dont muddle your brain with technical issues" .

 

[blackcat]

Great drugs? What's blackcat's opinon on this?

a bowler, they have always bowled under duress and stress with the physical demands. they are allowed to have pain killers. but too much cortisone and/or pain-killers are dangerous for an athlete. see matthew egan geelong and adrian whitehead carlton.

Lol, Tymal Mills. His name gets floated in the press and you think he's an international prospect.

21 FC matches. 35 wickets. Average of 37.65.

Sounds like the answer to me.

If he keeps up that sort of performance standard I say get him opening the bowling next Ashes series

Was going to say that it was a silly thing to do, but then I remembered that their other options were absolute trash so he probably didn't have any other choice instead of toughing it out and playing through. Slight nudge of the cap, I suppose.

Indeed, Finn was reportedly unselectable, Rankin should have been considered unselectable, Tremlett was rubbish, they just didn't have any options. It's an indictment on their depth.

 

[The_Reaper]

They had Onions playing first class cricket in South Africa. Could have called him over.

 

[Shatterpoint]

Wow...

I have to battle with that every single day at work and you dont hear me complaining.

 

[Cleavy]

in a winning team, admirable. in a losing team, not so much.

Convenient excuse 2 months later.

Convenient excuse 2 months later.

I was wondering about that. Why bring it up now?

 

[Outshined]

I was wondering about that. Why bring it up now?

Someone checked cricinfo and realised England's greatest ever bowler's avg has risen above 30.00 (again).

 

[Despair]

I wasn't aware that James Anderson had ribs? I mean.. with how far up himself he is..

 

[imadodgyumpire]

You don't tell your opposition one of your key players is injured.

 

[BG32]

It just keeps getting better. I wonder what will be next
