Molehill
Cricketer Of The Year
I'm not going to criticise the manner of England's likely defeat. The batsmen either got out playing their usual game, or were undone by some seriously decent seam bowling yesterday afternoon.
But if England really wanted to win this game, and gave any iota of care for the WTC, then frankly, a 20 year old seamer averaging about 80 from 9 FC games would be nowhere near this team. I know they're looking ahead at potential Ashes bowlers, but do you need a Test Match to have a proper look at someone? Hull looks a long way from the finished article, to the extent where it's hard to see him touring Aus next year.
