Considering that England just beat the world number one team, if we beat them today, then you could say we're the best cricket team in the world. I'll lynch anyone who claims otherwise.

Paine has to open with Watson IMO. You can't expect someone who regularly opens to succeed anywhere else in the order at an international level.

Been raining for the past 48 hours, so I don't know why England are batting first. Johnson and O'Brien will be in their element in these conditions.

Denly strikes me as one of those southern bias selections. Would have gone somewhat unnoticed if he'd played for a less fashionable county.

Record is pretty meh and it's not like it's gotten massively better in the past couple of seasons. Decent home ground to score runs on.

Anyway predictable Ashes hangover performance from England so far.

Southern bias is more paranoia on your part but he is a poor selection. England need an opener who can either bat through the innings or use the PowerPlays, Denly does neither.

Think this hangover will be continuing for the next three months at least.

You seriously think he'd have been 'noticed' if he played for Lancashire or the like?

England seem to love going with southern batsmen (who are usually soft and rubbish).

Johnston has to be close to the gunnest man alive. 35 year old New South Welshman who plays cricket for Ireland.. does it get any better?

Lancashire are a 'glamorous' county, he would get the plaudits there and it was only a decade or so ago that a Lancashire Mafia existed and everyone from their excellent one day side got an England cap.

Maybe go unnoticed at Derbyshire/Northants et cetera though.
