Plum, you have made me carefully read and thoroughly appreciate this Andy Flower.

Flower said. "I'm not annoyed. I think it's quite sad. He's very clear about what he wants to do, so that's his choice.

"I just thought that after you've retired from sport and you look back at your career he might think: 'Crikey, I wish I'd taken part in more World Cups and helped win the 2015 World Cup with England.' They are great memories and I think it's a little sad he won't get those opportunities anymore.

"Kevin was due to be rested for this one-day series with the West Indies. But I don't think resting him for the Australian one-day series and South African one-day series was an option. These are two of the best cricketing nations in the world and we want to put out strong sides against them."

WIndies is a sappai one-day team

There is also the status of ODI cricket, not only in this country but over the world, to take into consideration and when making these policy decisions you have to consider the precedents. And if that policy encourages five or six other top class international players to retire from international one-day cricket, you are degrading the status of ODI cricket in this country and the world.

I think there's very limited influence I have on the schedule. The schedule is tough, there's no doubt about that. If you have been involved in that over a period of time it's tough. My job is to try and manage it as well as possible.

And this one is my favourite

We're fairly honest with each other and I think we have quite a good working relationship. I hope he can really enjoy the years of Test cricket that are ahead of him

'hope' - eppadi perfectA use paNNi irukkAn paarunga :rotfl:

Pakistan :rotfl2: chokey chase..would have Proteas proud

WI all out for 172 and England go 1 up in the series...

Ramdin - unnecessary fine. Just let players express, nah? Needless to say, Broad could brandish a note calling Yuvraj a ****, and it would be laughed off as a prank. Basically, in a few years time, player punishment statistics will be paraded to show that England is the Fairplay Trophy winner, too, or second only to New Zealand. nAdhArithanam as usual. Australians dont compete for that particular trophy - about the only trophy that doesnt have them literally stake their life for.

Flower - "Hope he enjoys his micha socham cricket life that is left" - That is NOT a statement. That is a THREAT. One of these days, this conversation will happen

Unselected. You answer with your bat. It is not how you behave on a field.
And I am hearing all kinds of support: he was not using bad weards, so let him be etc. That only goes to show how 'accepting' people have become. It is like people who cut and overtake from the left side of the road, or drive with full blunding high-beam - it is so common now, that people don't even recognize it is wrong. Nobody has taught them it is wrong and they are still exceeding their brief. If you stop and ask they'll be like "what is there?".

It felt good to get that hundred, especially after the observations of the august Sir.Viv. Nevertheless I hope, I have not inadvertently made him feel constrained from expressing his predictions in the future future.

adhai vittuttu rowdy-ppaya mAdhiri...

As Gounder says in mAman magaL: chachachacha! cha cha cha!

Unfortunately !!!! :lol2:

It's not gonna last.

Broad paththi kELvi kEkka dhAn kEppOm. Look, if BCCI gave importance to this matter, and arranged for non-sub continent players to be more punished for their misdeeds while letting sub continentals scot free, I will be posting exactly like you. The boot is on your foot, so you can speak all magnanimously now

I particularly liked this:

because KP had expressed interest in playing for the 2015 WC.
And then promptly retired from OneDays. So Flower is essentially taking a shot at him for his flip-flop.

IPL career-ai prolong paNRadhukkAga Test/ODI career-ai sacrifice paNRa ovvoruththanaiyin avinga board ippadi etti udhaichchA manasukku konjam kuLirchchiyA irukkum.
iththanaikkum naan ODI ippo ellAm pAkkuradhu illai. Didn't even watch yday's match where Bell got a hundred.

Plum, Flower is not bothered about ODIs. If England had a successful T20 leak, and if people quite ODI careers for it, he'd not mind (appadinnu patchi solludhu).
But right now, it is true that there is a risk of people quitting ODIs to play IPL. So FLower is putting it across that "there is a reason for that clause" and "we are interested in ODIs etc.".

Sir. Viv has predicted ENgland will dominate top cricket for a while.
yOv, Ramdin prediction mAdhiri aachchu, naanum oru note kAttuvEn..jockradhai.
