i think he is a great player ! maybe a bit overweight and a liability in the field ?

Know Ian well, and he's worked hard on his fitness lost a lot of weight for this season compared to how he was but he's naturally a unit!  Won't get another chance for England as he doesn't fit the current bill with regards to fitness they dropped Samit, so that's set the bar now I'm afraid, top player though deserves another go!

Nope, he did ok in List A cricket this year but not well enough to warrant selection in the ODI side IMO.
Was one of the best players in the CC though.
