That's a shame, would have been a decent deal for both of them.

Yeah, I'm a fan. He'd be in my twelve for the first Test of the summer if he was properly fit and playing by then. In fact I think Scaly would quite love my twelve in general - maybe that means I ought to change it.

If it's got Borthwick and Onions (even though I enjoyed his performance yesterday) change it.Yeah, I'm a fan.

I too rate Wood though, has everything about him to be a proper international bowler.

Has Onions (and Stokes), not Borthwick though.
I've felt Onions to be a little over-rated on this forum for a while now, but I just think it makes a lot of sense to pick him with England have two big home series (v India and v Australia) over the next couple of years. If England's big series in the pipeline were away from home or not for another three years or so then I could see the logic behind going for someone younger and more likely to perform overseas like Wood or Jordan ahead of him, but Onions could play a big role at home over the next couple of seasons and with India and Australia touring in that time I think he could be a big asset.

I dunno, he didn't have a great winter for the Dolphins, hasn't started the season brilliantly. If you're picking someone for great domestic form, than it would be nice if he was in great domrstic form.
Time to strike a line through for me, but who knows he may take a shedload in the next couple of matches.
TBH, I think most have Stokes in (if fit), he's proving us Southern, shandy-drinking, quiche-loving, metrosexual softies to be wrong.

Unless Onions literally can't bowl this season he has to be in the side for the Sri Lanka series.
I've never rated him particularly highly but the rest of the seamers available are complete and utter dross, and it's not like Onions ever disgraced himself when he's actually played Tests.

Hmm Jarvis took 6/47 against Yorkshire seconds, PEWS to spew when Wayne White plays again on Sunday

International Regular
Classic. Plays one season for CD and is international class
Look, he doesn't even have to be International class. He just has to be better than this hack who has better (lol) looking stats than they actually are thanks to his entire career being spent in Div 2:
Wayne White | England Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo
Bowling average of 37-and-a-bit in Div 2 vs. Bowling average of 31 in Test match cricket. I know who I'd be picking as a bowler.

Yeah I'm obviously a big Jarvis fan but I actually think White should be replaced by a batsman.
Yeah, he should be, and if they play a batsman ahead of White I won't complain about Jarvis not being picked.

Yeah I was advocating an extra batsman in the first game when Chapple wasn't available. We would have had Proctor & Reece as 4/5th seamers in any case.
Still those 22 runs @ 5.5 have proved his tenacious lower order batting qualities

Actually we have six number 8s at the moment plus Horts and Prince - can't believe they'll leave out Jarvis again this week, but if they do I shall be seeking Cricketing Asylum in the Broadacres
