I actually quite like ODIs and I've in fact gained a greater appreciation for them as the rest of the world has grown bored of them; obviously no patch on Tests but an interesting enough change of scenery. I really struggle to take the result of any game particularly seriously when the selectors refuse to though.
I guess Clarke is out then?
Marsh is out. Clarke is in doubt.
The CT proved to me that one day cricket is still a viable and excellent format, but as you say, it's completely devalued by the attitudes of selectors and even players at times
Not sure what the selectors are supposed to do though, there is simply too much cricket in the calendar year to expect those that play in all formats to play every game. They have to prioritise.
Gets my vote.
I think 3 ODIs would be enough, but before tests. There doesn't seem to be any point after, eveyone is too exhausted—players and viewers.
I'd be shocked if they played these games pre-Tests and England didn't rest the exact same players.
Ahhhh! There's a good one! Split me sides an all . . .
Indeed, although I'd prefer to see him playing instead of one of the batsmen.
