Yep, should pick Rankin and KoB too.England should just play gingers actually. Would've been a fairer series.

Oh, there have been other absolutely marvellous debuts in the interim period - Cook's possibly the best of the lot - but I just mean for the jaw dropping 'did he just do that' nature of it.Trott's debut ton in a series-deciding 5th Ashes test not cutting the mustard, eh?
Tough task-master, Corrin.
Epic!Tbh, a few home series, and that should change dramatically
Had Bopara picked out someone in the crowd rather than the fielder at Lord's then it would have been hard to look by him.MOTS for Dhoni. Never expected that but I dunno who I'd have picked.
Wouldn't call Rank**** ginger round our partsYep, should pick Rankin and KoB too.
Swann IMO.Had Bopara picked out someone in the crowd rather than the fielder at Lord's then it would have been hard to look by him.
Yeah, kills KP's losing 50s by miles.Trott's debut ton in a series-deciding 5th Ashes test not cutting the mustard, eh?

See my reply ****ybollocksYeah, kills KP's losing 50s by miles.
Yes forgot about Swanny, he's been consistently good all the way through.Swann IMO.
I suppose Swann or Bopara would be the only other candidates on stats...Bittersweet player of the series award. The stats back it up but still a weird choice.
Was just about to say.Swann IMO.
Bit optimistic re: Stokes and Buttler, neither have done it on the international stage (yet)From having a side that is rather orthodox and struggles to hit boundaries you could easily see a top 7 like:
Kieswetter
Cook
KP
Stokes
Morgan
Bairstow
Buttler
Which could be absolutely devastating. Obviously that lineup is more in the future and there'll be the odd change but that would be rather fun to watch. These days there are very few players that can't translate their county cricket game into the national arena. Everywhere except Test batting has incredible depth in talent and ability. It's a very nice time to be an English cricket fan.
I couldn't believe my eyes that UK summer. You Poms beat the daylights out of us in the ode's, we were gone, then you thrashed us in some style in the first test- incredible display really, this coming after you guys struggled in NZ and we thrashed South Africa in SA. Luckily the Aussies kept coming at the Poms and ground them down eventually, to the point where England was back to the usual crap of making desperate selections to win a test, and it backfired as usual, except for Tuffers in the 6th test!First cricket game I ever saw that btw. Amazing debut
Said the same, class all the way to the end.Dravid, at the end of his final ODI, making a point of congratulating the MOTM debutant.
Wafg. Enormous respect is due to a true all time great and (from where I'm standing) one of the finest human beings to play the game.
Saw it, wish I hadn't, poor.See my reply ****ybollocks
