So a few games this week. How's are the England prospects doing.



Buttler. Anyone know why he hasn't been selected for Lancashire? Is he injured? Or having a break.later may be strange as a few other t20 players are playing.


Hales the non 4 day player made a hard thought 61 off 100 odd balls batting at 6 for notts. Read a lot of praise regarding.
Patel also batted well, but lumb failed,

Jimmy Anderson took a five for.

Prior is racking up the runs

Morgan got a first ball duck.


Probably to early to tell who's Inform, but good to see a few getting in the runs/wickets.

It's just a shame SKY have nothing on there telly, just 4 channels of dam repeats. Sky you are useless.

On SSN they said Butler was being rested for Lancs.

Prior has been dropped about 3 times on his way to 70 odd...

Davies notched up a few runs for Surrey, could be in for a shout with the gloves. Probably the best glove man out of the 3 and had a decent last season with the bat.

Obviously these wickets are going to favour the bowlers as the clips they've shown on SSN there have been some lovely green tops so anyone who gets runs at this stage of the season has done well.

[400notout]

Patel - 93
Davies - 67
Gurney & Meaker in amongst wickets.
Bopara (dare i say it) - 90

Anybody know why James Taylor isn't plaing for Notts?

[alexhilly1492]

prior has probably batted himself into the side with a ton vs mddx

Ravi is Ali Cook's best friend in cricket.

worth noting. I would be staggered if he isn't in the first test match squad.

[Ciaran]

Robson is a top prospect and if he has a good start to the summer I think we will see him in an England shirt for the first test.

[smilley792]

Pit or being dropped doesn't mean much. You watch most great innings, there rarely chance free(the pietersen innings on sky have a fair few drops in the )


Priors ton makes him a shoe in. And buttler being rested even stranger. Had buttler scores a ton or a gritty 50 he's be being talked about. Not playing means you score no runs. And no runs can't compete with a ton.


Can Ravi really make it back in to the test squad? Be a decent extra bowler on the flat tracks when your main attack is shattered.

[Alvaro]

A left armer would be good, so Gurney's development is interesting.

I would expect that the England squad will already be 95% settled. County form will be irrelevant if a chosen one doesn't perform or a positive reinforcer if it does.

Glad to see Ansari have a good start to the season for Surrey, I'd like to see him knocking on Englands door in the next 48 months.

I'm mostly interested in how Hales does batting at 6 for Notts. I know he had a horrendous season opening last year, but a good season at 6 and he could be a good fit for England test side. Very early days to call though after 1 innings.

Gurney getting into the test side I think may depend on how well Tymal Mills does, however they were both Net bowlers for England in the Ashes so the ECB must be well aware of their capabilities.

[Alvaro]

Gurney is sharp but gets wickets.
Mills is quick and hits people. Depends what you want.

That ball from Lewis was an absolute screamer...

[fasteddie]

I was going to nominate Tyrone Mills from my homeland, Essex.

But....

I've just read he is a Norwich fan! What!

Does he not realise the local clubs are Colly and Ipswich (whom I support).

Sorry Tyrone, but you've just gone to the back of the queue.

Munched.
Nothing quite like late hooping.
