Do you think that England will pick A " Wayne Rooney type of players" An 18 year old who looks Excellent in CC and fast-track him like Shafyat

I'm going on what I've seen of him as well

Well since you're always telling us how you don't have SKY, you can only have seen him in 2 matches, his first 2 when he was probably a tad nervous?

Interesting point, but I can't see it being fair on the young players such as Key, Bell, Troughton (and my personal favourite Rikki Clarke) to ignore them without giving them a fair crack at the whip.

If Shafayat has a good season, mark him down for a debut in Bangladesh maybe?

They might have, but unlike Hick they have pulled through. Butcher had some silly avg high 50's since returing to the side,

It's now 42.90, but of those 23 matches, he's played 10 against Aus (averaging 40.73), so that's a very good effort if you ask me.

He's even managed to stop me slagging him off
