Hoping I can retain my CWLand 'A' spot. Not sure how likely that is.

 

[Athlai]

Hoping I can get a spot after my flier of a start.

 

[Simon]

Also am looking for someone (preferably who isnt likely to be part of the CWXI in either tests or ODI's) to "manage" England for this tour. Your duties will include picking the touring squad (in conjunction with myself) and then ensuring you name a team for each of the games and giving any bowling orders/directions etc...

If you would like to be considered for this email me dcoulthardf1@hotmail.com and let me know.

Wonder if my Champions League record will see me into the T20 side?

Not much else I can ask for given the start of the season I've had.

 

[superkingdave]

We should beat England at home, hoping we play them on a spin friendly deck or two.

 

[Josh]

Oooh Green getting a look in; wouldn't mind skittling a few poms!

 

[GIMH]

Hopeful of selection in the ODI/T20 squads

 

[bryce]

Great to see that CW 'A' fixture early in the schedule, looking forward to it

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I hope I can crack an A spot too. There are heaps of good in form middle order bats out there, most bat a little slow though

 

[Simon]

Venues have now been confirmed.

Also England are expected to announce their 16 man squad for the tour sometime in the next 24 hours.

 

[Nate]

Pretty damn excited.

England Test Squad Announcement.

This morning the England management have announced their Test squad to tour Cricketweb Land in the coming month. The tour, which commences next week with a three day match against Blue next week, will be a tough test for the touring party which contains four uncapped players. Hampshire batsman Michael Carberry and Durham seamer Mark Davies have no previous International experience but it is not the first time they have been involved in an England squad. The other uncapped Test players are promising spin bowling allrounder Adil Rashid and keeper-batsman Steve Davies, both of whom have represented England in limited overs matches. The only real noticeable omission is that of seamer James Anderson who is currently undergoing treatment on a troublesome knee injury. Experienced bowler Stephen Harmison was once again left out of the squad with the selectors belived to have worried about how he would fare in Test matches overseas.


England Test Squad To Tour Cricketweb Land :
Andrew Strauss - C
Alastair Cook - VC
Ian Bell
Stuart Broad
Michael Carberry
Paul Collingwood
Mark Davies
Steve Davies
Graham Onions
Kevin Pietersen
Matt Prior
Adil Rashid
Ryan Sidebottom
Graeme Swann
Johnathan Trott
Luke Wright
