He's playing in the India series therefore a topic about him when its looking towars the upcoming series does belong here its not hard to understand.

Thoughts? He may score some runs on flat pitches in India but overall I think he is someone who will average 45 max-that through cutting out all risks. A very one dimensional player, definitely can be a certainty in England's ranks, but how on earth is he playing ODI cricket with a SR of 74 in this era?!

It shows you how selfish he is and very limited too.
As opposed to Sehwag who just throws his wicket away... amiright?

ODIs in England have the ball doing a fair bit more than most other countries if he needs to accelerate he's more than capable of doing so but its a helluva lot easier for the team if they've got someone anchoring the innings i.e Trott.


Tbf India might as well get Fletcher to bowl for them he's probably better than most of the pacer they've turned out over the years.
