The selectors need to make some big decisions about this team, otherwise we'll be the laughing stock of the World Cup!

India are the No 1 team in the world, but we were so many levels beneath them yesterday, it was dreadful!

Agree. We have to start by discounting 5 day Test form when selecting the One Day Teams, and that applies to bowling as well as batting. Some of the best 'one dayer's' in World Cricket can't get in their 5 day Test teams. Its a different game. We also need a new captain.
I once played against Don Revie.

Might pop down to Trent Bridge tomorrow or Thursday to see Yorkshire striding towards the County Championship. They're giving it a real go this morning 75-0 after just 17 overs.


Just looked at the Notts website just £14 for a days entertainment. That's good value for money in my opinion.
