Bairstow and root can replace them too....

Aye, and Bressie lad in for Hodd since he's almost French!

James Vince is looking in the highest form he has ever been at the moment with another 50 (not out), this time off just 69 balls. His average this season so far is 94 and his strike rate is 82.94! If he can carry this over to others formats I can see him getting a go somewhere in an England squad this year.

Glad to see Compton in the runs agsin as he was made a scapegoat out of and why shouldn't he be given another go as he has a very good understanding with cookie at the top of the order

Chris Tremlett continuing to show the form that got him into the test side.. He has taken 1 for 150 in the 50 overs he has bowled this year.. And that one was David Masters..

Really hope they send him to play some 2nd XI cricket, Surrey aren't going to being able to push for promotion when they're carrying a bowler..

I really don't understand the Surrey selection - Linley should be first pick every time. I don't care that he wont ever win an England cap. Meaker then has to play as he will win an England cap and is the best quick we have. Dunn is the improving wild card, so he plays then that leaves Durnbach - who really knows what he is capable of. Tremlett is finished, I believe - not sure I would say that to his face, I ran into him at the oval in Feb and he is HUGE!!

Ansari may become a decent spinning all-rounder - but will probably become more of a batsman. His action which was once very pure has been shaped a little by too much one day and t20 stuff.

gggrrrrr.

Cook batted wekk today - but there were a load of pies bowled once the game was dead for him to fill his boots with

How are things is division 2 by the way pal ;-)

To be fair I don't actually know what Dernbach is, I've always liked Ansari, n I really think Meaker should be knocking on the England door ahead of Mills.

Tremlett, I would stand behind you nodding in agreement (whilst using you as a shield)

From what I heard he wasn't really a scapegoat and just didn't really get on with people in the dressing room? Not sure about that though.

Got to make hundreds though to grab that kind of attention!

But who has he played? Gloucestershire in a relative duck shoot and a rain ruined game.
Not the greatest indicator of readiness.

Why not let him really develop rather than promote too early on promise and set him back (a la Bairstow)?

George Edwards could be better than all of them, right?

Its tricky isn't it?

Vince has been "on the radar" for four or five years now, since he was more or less still in nappies.  I don't think he will do much more at county level than he is doing now until he has the experience of international cricket, but what he is doing now is just a step below what Ballance, Taylor, Chopra, Carberry, Compton, Kieswetter, Lees, Robson etc are doing. 

Not saying he might not be worth a punt - he is certainly good to watch - but I fear he may be another Hildreth, destined never to quite make it.

I completely agree. Meaker, Linley and Dernbach should be the three main pacers and then let Curran and Dunn fight for the 4th spot. You then have Ansari as the main spinner and then the odd few overs from Sibley and co when required. If only clubs were allowed "backsies", I would happily have Jon Lewis back in the side instead of Tremlett.. Atleast he is actually a threat with the ball...

Yes the same Gloucestershire bowling lineup that were on the verge of getting Glamorgan out for <150 twice  . I personally think and have said before that I feel this will be his season in at least one format, probably not test however maybe a limited overs team if space is available and he performs in them as he is in CC at the moment.

Manoramic : He has scored a hundred and looks to be quite easily able to push onto one in the match where he ended not out the other day  .

Finn back in the wickets! 5 for in first innings, and got root in both.


Root and robson failed in the first in if a, but root has made a 59 in the seconds,



Bell gets another ton, Definately is a tad to good for county at mo,

Buttler is on 66* overnight! although top failed in the first innings,
Anderson a 5for in that game too.

Confused. Am I looking at same game?

I thought Finn got 4 in first inns and Root made 63 in second inns?
