Will Blackwell play in the World Cup?

[jf2001]

A poll to see what people think, Somerset fans and anyone else, of Ian Blackwell's chances of playing in the World Cup.

Will the Somerset big-hitting spinner/batsman make the grade?

He's only played a few games before the Ashes and got wickets and runs. Who will he be competing with?

No doubts he will make it. Just not enough fit men to challenge him!

it depends on how he plays in Aus, he looks ok so far

he had a good game with the ball last night. that will help him trmendously. as the selectors originally picked him as a batsman who can bowl a bit of SLA. but seeing that he can bowl that well and the selectors know how well he bats. i think he should be in with a great chance. which is good to see, it'll also be good to see shah in the world cup team as england need to re-build their squad with some new youngsters.

he did pretty well with te bat last night, showed good maturity but got runout by some gilly brilliance

As it stands, I expect him to go, with Giles as the other spin option.

He had better, that's all I can say...

He's got fight, aggression, can make quick runs and is a useful bowling option.

What more can he do?

Oh yeah, Sign for Surrey :!( :!( :!(

Well he did it!
