Steven Finn inspired by Michael Holding pep talk

Steven Finn believes some kind words from Michael Holding can help him establish himself in England's one-day international ranks.

Finn has targeted a strong showing in the upcoming limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, to lay down a marker with England hosting the 2017 Champions Trophy and 2019 World Cup.

West Indies great Holding told Finn to "relax a bit and just get the job done" in a post-play interview for Sky Sports during England's drawn Test with Sri Lanka at Lord's.

Meanwhile Jerome Taylor has been dropped

Jerome got NO  kind words    :-[

About time too. He has been sub par over the last year in all three formats of the game. 3 wickets in 6 ODIs at an average of 79.33, strike-rate of 66 and economy rate of 7.21 just aren't going to cut it. That said, I don't believe Shannon Gabriel is the answer, and he himself has struggled as of late.

LoL ....maybe he needs some straight up advice !

he get high 80s to 90 mph..................check

can he keep a line and length.............check

can he bowl that consistently for 6 deliveries.....no !


and by a process of elimination ...point the guy in the right direction 

Thought Roddy Estwick was HIRED and Ambrose FIRED

to accomplish these kind of Improvements to our BOWLING unit.

what happened ?

They just DROP de Chap ????  :-\

Personally, I feel that Alzarri Joseph should have been included in the squad ahead of both Taylor and Gabriel. Joseph was fantastic at the under-19 World Cup and had also performed well in 4 day cricket over the last year. At this point in time, Taylor and Gabriel are known quantities and not good enough, IMO.

But then I would have also selected Kraigg Brathwaite, Vishual Singh and Roston Chase.

I would have loved to see both U19 Alzari and Hetmeyer.

will wait on CPL Guyana Amazon Warriors
