So Ballance finally went for 174 not bad going.
Happy with that, Cook, Robson, Bell and Ballance is ok. Just need to find two others and keeper which may be Root, Stokes and Prior fitness permitting. Doesn't seem too bad a line up if that is what we go with.Him and Robson doing exactly what they need to do so far. Both looking certain bets right now.
We've been on at this for a while but really I don't think Sri Lanka ant home will be much trouble for any of the peripheral batsmen, at least not more so than the good county attacks. Just need to keep our best players in form, make sure the side isn't a bunch of kids and hope whoever does get picked establishes themselves.Happy with that, Cook, Robson, Bell and Ballance is ok.

Northants will be fine when Willey can start bowling again, he's a gun.
Starting to develop a real soft spot for a few young players who have looked hopelessly **** in the past - Javid, Dent and especially Gregory getting runs today would make me happy.
At the same time there's a bunch that need to FO - looking at you Keaton Jennings and Chris Jones. Billy Godleman too, how is this bloke still a professional cricketer?
Quack.Willey at the crease, they're in with a shot. Do you not listen.
Reckon his lack of form late last season owed more to the injuries tbh.Northants are boned. A good early-season day in the life of Jack Brooks before he becomes pants again in July.
Yeah, every time he put in a good display he got injured that game or the next. Was annoying.Reckon his lack of form late last season owed more to the injuries tbh.
Been the story of his career TBH, when on form, and fit, he looks pretty damn lethal.Yeah, every time he put in a good display he got injured that game or the next. Was annoying.
