Bill Frindall (1939-2009) 10:24pm on 30 Jan 2009 RIP Bill Frindall.

I'm sure he's up there now, enjoying cake and banter with the other TMS greats who were waiting for him.
Pressure mounting on the England captain 2:18pm on 29 Jul 2008 A couple of points:

1. I don't understand how anyone can tout KP as a serious successor to Vaughan. In my view his performace at Lord's as Captain was fairly bad and it affected his batting. He's like Fred - performs best for us if left to play naturally.

Andrew Strauss is surely the only contender. He seems to bat better with the Captaincy and he's got plenty of experience. Get him in soon, either before or the WI series after Christmas. He should be ODI skipper too, particularly after the controversy Collingwood has attracted, from being caught in that club in SA to that run-out at The Oval. Collingwood hasn't been a great Captain and Strauss deserves the job and has been treated frankly appallingly by the selectors over this issue.

2. Drop Ambrose and pick James Foster or Ben Scott, who has been keeping excellently for Middlesex all season. He's scored a few runs too.

3. I cannot believe they've brought back Collingwood so quickly, what a joke.
England one-day ratings 10:22pm on 28 Jun 2008 You missed out someone:

Andrew Strauss - 10+, for putting up with driving around a thousand miles (including return trips) for England without getting to actually play in the starting XI.
