Given that the first England team of the season isn't likely to include a single Surrey player, that whole "there are too many Surrey players in the England team" thing is a bit out of date, isn't it?

The rest of you, feel free to go on hating. 8-)

None in the CT squad either. Although Surrey have been complete turd in the 40 over stuff last few years haven't they. Think they got the spoon in their group in 2011 or something.

Didn't they win it in 2011?

I missed the final taking my daughter up to Sheffield.

Scaly is just a typical chip-on-the-shoulder northerner I think. Never mind.

People who argue the only reason Dernbach was ever picked for England is because he plays for Surrey are so boring.

Indeed, if you're trying to argue against Dernbach and his county is all you've come up with then you're not being very observant

Like I said, Dernbach is lucky to have played as many ODI's as he has, but it really isn't that hard to see why he got games. Death bowling has always been a problem for England, and along came a guy who could bowl quick, make use of reverse swing and had a decent slower ball. He didn't even start to badly either. He's not particularly accurate, and I'm not sure about whether he's the smartest tool in the shed, but he does have the skills to potentially be a decent one day bowler. It's something theegyptian pointed out after the World T20. His performances have been poor, but someone who can clock such high speeds and be potentially so useful is always going to be preserved with longer. It's also worth noting that Dernbach hasn't been in a full strength ODI side since October 2011 in India. People always seem to forget they're slagging off a guy who's probably 6th or 7th in the pecking order at the moment for quicks in the one day team.

Besides, I hardly ever hear people listing alternatives. What would be everyones top 8 or so ODI seam bowlers?

Started a bad day but ended a decent one. is this the rebirth of Adil Rashid as a serious player? Runs can only build the confidence and a confident bowler can get wickets.

Graeme Smith flying back to SA with the chronic ankle problem. Pretty big blow for Surrey. Doubt they'll see him again this season.
