TBF the batting of England A is decent. Denly, Key, Patel, Trott, Moore, Morgan and Davies are all bonafide selections (would only add Horton to the mix) but for the bowling only Davies deserves to be there. Certainly the inclusion of Tremlett and Kabir Ali would make the bowling a tad better, Bresnan, while still nowhere good enough would be many times better than Luke Wright in there. There are also options who would (with these selectors read should) probably be chosen before these guys if a test place was up for grabs (Hoggard, Keedy instead of Batty, Possibly Shreck) but are probably deemed to old for a Lions tour.
I've said this many times but Sajid Mahmood shouldn't even make the Lancashire side (and the same can probably be said about Plunkett at Durham.

Good start for McClenaghan and Davis - both going at eight per over already! Davis gets Key out but not sure where was caught.
Always enjoy watching the score tick over on these games, even if I don't know who half the players are.

A slightly damp chipmunk (deceased) >>>> Sajid Mahmood
I think McClenaghan suffers from Ian Butleritis, he either bangs it in short or bowls a half volley. Obviously with that pace, at club level it works, but at a higher level he is going to get murdered.
To be fair to Butler, after all of his injuries he seems to have found a decent length with his bowling finally.

If it's Luke Wright then it's mainly because he was seen scoring runs on TV and can bowl 85mph>.

Oh brilliant. England are getting so badly dicked that they've had to bring Ben Scott into the batting order.
According to the spiel on the New Zealand Cricket website, Scott was only supposed to provide backup in the event of an injury to Steven Davies. Absolute gold. England A getting a lesson from a bowling attack of chumps (excl. Hiini)
Good to see Stefan (sic.) Moore doing well though. Always thought he was a useful player.

England A batting currently failing to stand up to fast and probably (obviously I'm not there) inaccurate bowling of Davis and McClenaghan - from 114/3 to 124/6...
Predict another round of 'pick the fast bowler for NZ because he bowls fast' from the masses.

Well, SR Allen is the keeper, so at least Patel was caught behind.
Well Patel was caught by Allen...and Allen is the keeper, so i'm guessing he was caught behind.
The other caught by Ravel, no idea where he fields.
