I'm sure I've heard somewhere that at Test standard his pace may be a little low and not enough to trouble Test batsmen.

Of course Plunko should do a decent fill in job and shouldn't be forgotten. Other names with wickets to them, but virtual unknowns are - Coad, Leach, Porter and Luke Fletcher.

Ball confirmed out for two weeks, including the first test. Sam Curran not ready yet? Plus no real need for an allrounder to replace Woakes when he'd probablly be batting 9 anyway.

Assuming Wood and Anderson, that leaves one seam spot to fill. TRJ/Tom Curran/Plunkett/Overtons/Helm probably frontrunners given recent selections and Lions squads? Be a good time for someone to take a few poles for the Lions wouldn't it.

Plunketts a good call can  also do a decent job with the bat at 9.

Waiting for someone to chime in saying Strauss will probably insist on Plunkett just to wind Yorkshire up 

[six and out]

The bowling selection is looking as tricky as the batting now!

Now there is no Woakes, Ball and possibly no Broad.

With Stokes managing his knee injury, Anderson only 2 games back after injury and Wood who's injury record is hardly the most reliable.

Just out of interest, does anyone know much about George Garton?  He seems to be much in favour, and has got the 'left-armers' gig in the lions?

Very little, but he has been talked up quite heavily! This is apparently him aged 18 on first class debut, doesn't look too shabby... https://vine.co/v/iTHplj0ubFT

Nit a terrible bowler and still only just 20, bowls well in the t20 and has decent pace, just dont think he's consistant enough with wicket taking nor patient deliveries in 4 day yet

Think he plays at three bridges which isnt far from me

[golders]

I quite like Mark Footitt of Surrey,who was talked about a while back. seems like he is out of the reckoning as not involved in any Lions squads,perhaps his age is the barrier?

Only through his Cricinfo page which has some lovely images of him mid-flight while following through (take that as you please...)

There must be a caption contest in here somewhere...

[FattusCattus]

He looks like a human Fidget-Spinner!

Why would it wind us up? He's third reserve for us at the minute...

Jamie Porter.

Just pulling legs mate.

 Telegraph reporting that Malan may be considered for selection, what do we think?

After watching him in the ODI he's worth a call up but are England looking to build a young team around Joe.
