Don't really know much about this Wood. What's peoples thoughts?

What did Plunkett do so wrong to be out of contention? Heard he was unelectable for some reason?

dropped by Yorkshire for missing a photo session/training session so he was always going to be out

Wood looks to have pace, swings it a bit,did well on the Lions tour.

These guys have got to be given time to settle in and we cant lose the match

rock and a hard place for the new guys.The one thing England needs is time to get new players in and it's the one thing we don't have

the press are just waiting for us to lose and it will be carnage again.

By that logic Broad shouldn't be playing either, he missed the sponsors event I was at! Sent his Dad instead!

The media only got hold of the event he didn't attend in the morning but he didn't attend the one at night in Sheffield either, that one was also for the England sponsor and a local charity! Chris Broad got a right grilling for agreeing with dragging Rashid/Lyth/Plunkett around WI though which was quite funny. Don't take on the Yorkshiremen!

Well from the info in the press it made it seems he was not representing the ECB so bit of spin on that story it seems.There are clearly favourites
We do seem to be veering away from strong willed(outspoken) cricketers like Compton and Carberry in favour of the golden boys

Without bringing up you know who again it's not supposed to be a mates team-we are either professional or not, professional means some characters won't be liked but you have to get on with it

Might be biased as a Durham lad but did anyone else watching on sky find the Lyth attention rather cringey and unfair on Wood?

All the attention and talk has been about Lyth forgetting there's another lad on debut today too. I didn't see the Durham boys getting asked to wish Wood well?

And the fact they've got a series going behind the scenes at Yorkshire is terrible, once again Durham got a pat on the back and went on their way.

I think I'm just bitter but hey ho.
