Haha yes Im a big buttler fan. Have seen first hand what a player he is. I think him and Morgan will provide the X Factor that we clearly will be missing without KP.

Not sure Morgan will cut it in Tests,would be a bit of a step back.

I'd like Prior back personally, but a Buttler-type might be interesting if not.

I think Morgan deserves another go on the back of his recent form and the other options being Bairstow, Taylor, Bopara, etc I would go for Morgan every day of the week.

Anybody see bopara fail again today when the pressure was on? 54 of 5 overs, and they sent hi, in at 3. Caught first ball.


I think king ravi(and I am a fan) has had his day I'm tests atleast.

I Must admit i really don't understand the hype around Moeen Ali. He's got a pretty average first class record, granted he scored runs last year, but they were in Div 2, where the best bowler is David Masters! His bowling may well be useful, but we have an allrounder already, so really he needs to justify his place as a batsman only. and to be honest, i don't think he does.

Regarding Mills, i agree there has been a lot of hype around him, but having seen him bowl a fair bit at Chelmsford, (and make Cookie look even more awkward) he is a very exciting prospect. For now Topley is MILES better, but Mills should have a good future ahead if he gets his head down and works on his skills
