Wisden announced their cricketers of the year...well those who have affected the English cricket the most.....Kholi and three English test players, two of which are unknowns who will probably play in the Ashes and Tammy Beaumont who opens for the English womens team

Jos Butler will probably play at no 5 as a batsman but the other two are more unknowns...

Rory Burns is an opener and older county Pro but he didnt impress me much when I watched him vs the Windies....bit of a poor mans Warner.

Sam Curran is probably the pick of the bunch and one who will give us the most problems IMO.....left hand quick who swings it a long way
and I could see him really troubling our batsman in English conditions. Troubled the Indian top order who are better equipped technically than our blokes
and will be a handy bowler for the Poms IMO. Also can handle the willow and will give them some depth..

England potentially may play 4 keepers in their top order with Butler, Bairstow, Burns(part time keeper) and maybe the big hitting Foakes at 7...wouldnt be too many test teams have taken the field with 4 keepers..

Wowser, some are so desperate for validation.



Poor James went from alleged Dykon to alleged Homophobe in less than three social media posts! ;D

Pathetic really, both from the professional media and the social apparatchiks, is the situation that desperate?

Shaun Marsh - 214 against the Vics at the WACA.

Test recall #54 in the making?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Hope not..Shaun "Nellie Melba" Marsh, has had as many comebacks to the team as the great Nellie did in her career, talk is Harris and Warner to open in the 1st test.....

Gees those photos must be incriminating.

Marsh ..... Just say no.  The last test in England underlined why.

Harris and Warner shouldn't be selected unless they average 75 across the first four shield games.   Selection on merit not reputation.

Selection should be on form and not reputation for all. Sure you can have a dry spell for 4 or 5 innings. However a squad can only carry you for so long. (Here is where someone comes in to remind me about Mark Taylor and his dry period as a captain and all of a sudden scored 300 plus in an innings with the bat).
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

It would be his ninth recall. That must be a record! (even 8)

If you can't get the News Ltd link to work, try Twitter, it's laughable really that umpires can think this was caught and thrown to the ground.

There's the problem, Bancroft ahead of Carey! :o

Neither player offers sterling form before the season's opening test, but what has Carey done wrong when given earlier limited opportunities?

Bancroft was only picked to be the super sub.

Any comparison between B and C is moot.

On the subject of cricket... how terrific is it to be alive to witness one of the greatest ever batsmen in full flight? (Steve Smith, in case you're wondering!).
