Azeem Rafiq better option that Parry.......

Good cricket brain too.

ooooof! Proper stuffings for Surrey and Middx!

I read in cricket world that Lancashire's paul Horton still has hopes of playing for England this summer,

What are your thoughts on this? don't think there is a slower batsman in county cricket at present!

Surely better opening bats on the circuit?

Jack Shantry at Worcester seems to be in the Wkts, but one player who I think could play international ODI's is Gareth Andrew.

As far as spinners go, don't think parry or Kerrigan have much of a future in the international game, both fairly standard county players, better spin options available.

Really enjoyed that youtube video on the 2014 LV= County Catch-Up - nice feature from the ecb.

I cant say that Horton stands out, haven't been much of him - but I wouldn't say that he's in the mix at all.

Personally Andrew isn't good enough with the ball to be a bowler/all-rounder and he gets the publicity mainly due the bat that he uses - Napier/Trego are much better all-rounders/bowlers that can hit big.

Agree re the spinners, I can't say we have anyone that's outstanding - I would personally go back to Monty(not sure why he's not being mentioned). However, if Moeen Ali can get this doosra sorted then he could become a genuine off-spinning all-rounder.

Horton isn't good enough, he was lucky last season to keep his place in the team! He had one good knock towards the end and that saved his bacon!

Jack Shantry bowls high 70's, won't make an impact in the international arean bowling that pace I'm afraid!

Good win for Glamorgan today beating South Africa A... sorry I meant to say Surrey!

[tailender]

I totally agree on Horton, cannot believe he is skipper! rumour has it he is to take over after chappy leaves..... disaster move

The great thing with shantry is his action, if he could get an extra yard he would be a handful

think gareth Andrew could do a job, great with bat and ball.

haha... it was a great win indeed, theres a young lad at Glamorgan called will owen, he didn't play but ive played against him, very good prospect

Shantry has been putting on pace every year - all he needs is a few more mph and I reckon he'd be a great option, his action is more than enough to put any batsman off haha!

I agree, his action is mental! only a matter of time before his back goes!

Haha definitely! Faced him a few years back - interesting to say the least, certainly didn't end well either...

[400notout]

Anyone else in ODI cricket make a huge impact bowling mid/high 70's....

Nathan Bracken 174 wkts @ 24 says that pace has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Johnny bairstow out for 6 weeks with a broken thumb.


Does that effect the England stumper choice? Buttler in a a back up for prior?

[Neon Cricket]

Still think its time for Steve Davies to be given a shot - why he keeps getting overlooked is beyond me

Following his display in the Ashes I'd imagine Bairstow was going to make way for Butler anyway.

I thought of Ron Weasley as more of a backstop/ball picker upper than a stumper!
