England call on Loye

State Auckland Aces batsman Mal Loye will replace England captain Michael Vaughan in the Tri-Series in Australia.

Loye played two State Championship and two State Shield matches for Auckland this season but heads across the Tasman ahead of the tourists’ next match, against Australia on Friday.

The uncapped Lancashire player could debut after Vaughan picked up a hamstring tear during the BLACKCAPS three-wicket defeat in Hobart.

The Yorkshire opener has played only four games since returning to the team this month after missing a year of international cricket after knee surgery.

Geez, England are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now

Good god another mid 30's player making his debut for England.

 

[Twizzle]

well they have run out of Seth Efricans, they have to rely on poms now and the cupboard is bare

 

[NK Arsenal]

auckland aces, wtf? i thought he was a pom.

Plays as the international player (that's my understanding of it), he plays for Lancashire now and was selected in the 30 man Champions trophy squad (according to Cricinfo)

The English fans rate him highly, never knew he played for the Aces though.

 

[Sanchez]

haha pathetic

 

[The_MaFeeLi_Tiger]

Good debut! High scored for England, swept Brett Lee for 6, and looked good!

Go Mal!

 

[Twizzle]

good luck to him,

didn't realise he was in his mid thirties

 

[hineyrulz]

Well not a bad effort to op score on your debut, shame he's 34.

 

[MKEB...]

Sweeping Lee fo six takes balls

 

[aussies1st]

Perfect time for him though as the WC year age doesn't matter if your form is good enough.

Where's this bloke been the whole time? is what I wanna know. Good debut with 36 in as many balls. Got England off to a good start. When he got out their batting disintergarted.

 

[Sanchez]

should have been picked 10 years ago apparantly
