So, Eoin Morgan is out of the WC squad with Ravi Bopara replacing him.

Best player to replace him?

Possibly - Hildreth and James Taylor are both in better form having been outstanding in the West Indies domestic competiton. Having said that Ravi Bop has experience of playing 2 IPL's and is an experienced one day player who can bowl some useful overs so I can understand the decision. Not sure who is the best fielder.

Big chance for Ravi Bop to get his Test place back too...

Didn't Strauss say that Prior WILL be opening the batting for England in the WC?

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Bresnan really isn't good enough to be batting at 6. IMO he is a bog standard county player, no spark.

Looks like England have got a new kit for the WC. Much like the SA adidas kit but dark blue and red - (cant find any other pics of it as of yet).


Also, does anyone know if there are any highlights sorted for the World Cup that aren't on sky?

I've been waiting for a new kit to come out, can't find the other one anywhere!

I THINK ITV4 have them mate, given they had the IPL and Ashes

Yeah the new kit hasn't been unveiled or anything yet, but im guessing with the 2010 odi kit on sale on the official store and with new training gear + these pictures on the ecb site + new adidas kits for the WC then these are it. Poor kits in my opinion.

I would have preferred them to keep the most recent shirt but trying to find it in a M/L is a nightmare, sold out everywhere

I picked up the 'current' ODI shirt back in November for £35 in Sports Direct. Should've waited :/
