You what? Morgan is being touted for the One Day side? He's already in there as a key player.Wonder if Flower will say no to Pieterson and Morgan,really Morgan who is being touted for the One day side and Test captaincy is shooting himself in the foot.
Other way round presumably. Test side, ODI captaincy.You what? Morgan is being touted for the One Day side? He's already in there as a key player.
Morgan being touted for the Test captaincy? On what planet?
Yeah brockley does that sort of thing sometimes.Other way round presumably. Test side, ODI captaincy.
My thoughts exactly on hearing the news. A few county runs and he's in with KP gone you'd think@Eoin16: I would like to thank @IPL for accepting my request to withdraw from this years auction. Good luck with the tournament.
Morgan obv had some word that he's a contender for a recall to the test squad.
Yep, he's just not experienced in the format.Prior to the last series at home to SL didn't Morgan sneak into the Test side on the back of a big 100 for the Lions against SL in a warm-up game ? Seem to recollect being disappointed then that he went to the IPL when he was very much in the frame for Test selection, and Bopara did the right thing and stayed playing CC instead of following the dollar but had a pretty average time with Essex and lost out to Morgs.
Think at the time they had Morgan in mind to play in that series and he must have received assurances then from Flower and co. that going to the IPL won't hinder his Test chances, but this time it is surely the right move for Morgan if he wants to make a success of himself in Test cricket to get some form and understand his own game in the longer format. Whether technically he is good enough I'm not sure yet but I'd like to see a lot more of him scoring big runs for Middlesex in the CC. It's no wonder his first-class game hasn't developed when he has only played more than 10 first-class games in a season twice, in 2008 and 2009, and 2009 was pretty much a disastrous season. He also played just two first-class games last year, there's definitely work to be done for Morgan.
