Yea right. The best we'll get from him is mediocrity in ODIs because of the nature of that format - he'll remain utter turd in T20 and Test cricket. Expect another self-imposed exile from cricket sooner or later.
Won't really be up to him though will it. I suspect Flower will decide otherwise despite his own Essex connections.
Why wouldn't you let Bairstow keep in that side though? At least he does it regularly for his county. The jury must still be very much out on Buttler I;d have thought, although clearly they've spotted something in him they like and he does have a very good domestic one-day record. He's lacked opportunitites for England it's true, but he got out to an awful half-witted heave today.
The 5th bowler is so much more important than the batsman at 7. I can't emphasise that enough. For me the first four bowlers pick themselves - if they're fit. The three available that won the last World Cup, then Finn because his raw ability is way ahead of anyone else. I'd then go Briggs for balance and because of where the World Cup is and I don't rate Dernbach.
Wright to open surely. Though 3 not a big difference I suppose. But I'd be giving him first crack at it.
Please, God, tell me you're taking the piss.
Was that the tied game where Jamie How smoked 140odd? Thought that was the making of him tbh then he never did anything else.
Post it ****.
