Title: Darren Stevens
Post by: johnnyw on July 15, 2011, 08:26:38 PM: I think he should be in the England 20/20 side instead of Luke Wright regardless of his age.

Your thoughts?

Before today, Stevens had bowled 7 overs, 2-50. Not good figures!! Trego 15 overs, 4-121 (Not good), Durston 25 overs, 9-200 (Not good either). Checking the averages, I take it back and I think he should be in that group but all these players could be challenging for a spot.
