Would be my team if t20 would Cup was tomorrow. I'd like stokes to bat 3 as I don't think he scores quick enough early in his innings to bat at 6. Lots of right handers in the top 5 too

Always wondered what proportion of recreational English cricketers are of Asian descent as I assumed the answer was "a really large proportion". The figures mentioned in this article are absolutely nuts.

White British cricketers from private schools 34 times more likely than young Asians to reach elite level

Damning research into talent development shows how class and ethnic disparities blight the game
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Privately educated white British players are 34 times more likely to become professional cricketers than state-educated British South Asians, according to academic research that is likely to invite further investigation of the game’s treatment of ethnic minorities.

The research, by Tom Brown of Birmingham City University, found that white British players are three times more likely to become professionals compared with their British South Asian counterparts, regardless of schooling.

Very few professional cricketers in England are British South Asians. On a conservative estimate, 30% of recreational players are of South Asian heritage, while only 4% of professional players are British South Asian.

Silverwood was palpably out of his depth. Nice bloke and all, but has more or less got where he is by riding on Simon Harmer's coattails.

Think Giles then compounded the mistake by doing away with the chairman of selectors role and giving him complete control.

Pleased Strauss is back, albeit in an interim capacity. Tory he may be, but has something about him. Hope he stays on permanently.

I wonder if Mo Bobat will make it through the shake up. Seems to be a well liked guy but he's the 'Performance Director' who was specifically charged with identifying talent and bridging the gap between County and international cricket, which has clearly fallen flat. He also seemed to have more say than Silverwood in terms of tour planning, and was supposedly behind the policies of rotation and selecting the bowling attack for each Test of the series before the series actually starts.
