Three Squad Changes:
OUT Paul Collingwood
IN Rikki Clarke
OUT Michael Vaughan
IN Owais Shah
OUT Craig White
IN Dominic Cork
Shah in for Vaughan is fair enough. I assume that White must be injured - Corky's a fair swap - but...
Rikki Clarke Yeah, I wonder if he would be playing if he was a Durham player?
Clarke's bowling is not up to it yet, and he's not a specialist batsman. ACADEMY? Hello... what else is it there for?.
Let's run through the choices... Jamie Troughton, who's actually a batsman? Kyle Hogg, who can bowl? Darren Maddy, Who has performed very effectively in both disciplines this year? Bilal Shafayat or Kadeer Ali, who had taken apart the Indians in the summer?
No. Wrong Counties. This is past a joke.
Note - could someone else write this up as an article as I don't think that I'll be able to avoid shedloads of vitriole. Cheers...
