Glen Chapple

im not a lancashire fan, but would like to hear anybody's opinon on this, but does anyone think that chapple was unlucky not to play for england in any format?

Yes - and as per the other thread on best players never to play for England I think Chapple is one of the better ones mentioned there.

Cricketfan - meant to reply to this the other day. Yes, you are absolutely right. A very dependable cricketer who was most unlucky never to play for England. I seem to remember him being picked for one squad but not making the starting eleven.

Chapple reminds me a bit of Martin Bicknell, very fine Surrey bowler. Bicknell did play a few games for England but not nearly as many as he should have.

Definitely, we've been missing him all season and he's been brilliant for us over the years.

i think he would have been a very good one day player for england

i see he took 2-40 from 17 overs today

Given some of the seam bowlers that were picked for England in the late 90s and early 00s, he certainly should have at least been given a chance. My concern would be that he was never really quick, but then neither were the likes of Hoggard or Sidebottom and they had enough success playing for England.

i think he should have played limited overs cricket for england not test.
