U19 Test Series - England v India

I am very impressed with Bilal Shafayat's performances so far for England - back to back hundreds in the Third Test.

After Gordon Muchall's 254 in the First Test, it's looking like England have a few good batting prospects :)

Kyle Hogg seems a good prospect with the ball, and Graeme Wagg as an all-rounder seems reasonable.

However, bat has completely dominated ball, and added to rain, it's going to need a spectacular Indian collapse or special bowling for England to win the last test and series - else it's 0-0.

Bilal Shafayat is a bit of enigma (now at Worcestershire). Some days he'll effortlessly rip a bolwing attack to shreds, other days he'll play a terrible shot and go early on.

Gordon Muchall is a fairly solid middle-order batsman for Durham, made a few big scores at the start of this year but then failed to kick on.

Kyle Hogg is a medium pace bowler with Lancashire, playing mostly one-day cricket although this could change as the likes of Chapple and Cork get older. Has decent control of line and length, plus he swings it a bit, but a lack of pace and height makes him easy to get after.

Graeme Wagg was doing alright at Warwickshire before he was found guilty of coke abuse, and was banned for one year. He's now spearheading Derbyshire's attack, but that isn't really any great feat.

I'll stick my neck out on the line: none of them will play for England.

Kyle Hogg is playing for Otago in NZ this winter.

I think Shafayat will play for England at some point(in ODI's)

Done it myself in work many times when workloads were lower. Read the whyole Ashes 2005 thread over the course of about 2 months. I only finished it two weeks ago, good job I did though, because work is so so busy now that I wouldn't get a chance to finish it and I wouldn't know who ended up winning!

I wish people would stop digging out four-year-old evidence that I knew the square root of naff all aged 16.
