Brilliant Flintoff brings Test back to life 07:50am on 01 Aug 2008 Sidebottom is overweight. I am gobsmacked no one appears to have noticed this. Hence his dire bowling.
South Africa hold whip hand 7:55pm on 19 Jul 2008 AAAARGH. These ENDLESS comments on Broad... "he's young.. he'll learn" etc...

So what? He should learn at county level. At the highest level he is simply not good enough to get wickets and there are a very significant number of better batsmen.

Aggers, PLEASE, justify your support for Broad. He has doen NOTHING at county level save for a good 20 20 last year. Is that enough for test selection?

What is wrong with the cricket selectors/commentators (inc you Aggers)?

I don't dispute Broad has talent. Let him hone it at county level.

The whole selection of the England side is farcical. We have no shortage of good players. Clearly we have a shortage of good selectors. Pattinson is merely a case in point. How on earth has he justified selection? PLEASE, someone tell me. Bresnan must be close to legal action against the ECB.

We have a captain who clearly does not merit his place; a young opener whose average has fallen consistently since his first test; without doubt, the worst test No. 6 in the world (incl Bangladesh - look at the stats), a semi pro opening bowler (watching Broad and Pattinson bowl in tandem was a national sporting disgrace. Other cricket nations are laughing at us). Bringing Fred back is just plan desperation.

I could go on and on just like many others here. The whole situation is inexcusable. And Aggers, by spouting nonsense like "Broad will learn" shows that there are too many people in the game that have no place commenting on it.
Rutherford's heroics and the 100m showdown 10:43am on 14 Jul 2008 Steve Cram's endless harassment (which is essentially what it amounts to) of Chambers is shameful. His commentary this weekend was incompetent and the BBC should terminate his contract. How much more punishment does Cram think Chambers needs to take? He has suffered enough. He has been broken financially and has more than paid for his mistake. No one is saying what he did was ok. Clearly it wasn't. But he has admitted his mistake and has suffered the punishment. Cram clearly has a personal vendetta against Chambers and this has made his commentary on the BBC tainted. Chambers has served his time and now should be allowed to run without Cram's holier than thou endless attempts to discredit him.
