Who will be England's 677th Test player?

Allrounder I think is the word.
I don't think even Trego's biggest fans would argue he has ever been worthy of Test selection, maybe he could have made a few limited overs squads.
Northeast should probably be moving into contention now but you have to be pretty weird to think there is some sort of conspiracy against him.

Seems I rate Trego higher than most. Sam Northeast - really? You do not find it a bit odd he was ignored? It is not as if there hasn't been holes in the middle batting, an area where they went through Vince, Ballance, Compton, Ballance, Hales, Ballance, Butler (albeit plonked in at some obscenely high position), Duckett, and Ballance for a final time - throw in question marks over Ali?

as was mentioned earlier, northeast has been scoring runs in the second division. it is not unusual in the slightest for selectors to overlook performances down there and not without good reason.
the standard of some of the division 2 stuff is dire in comparison to division 1.

weight of performance.
didn't he put up 2k runs across all formats last summer?
i'm not saying division 2 performances should be completely overlooked but they need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

But Northeast scored a century in North vs South game as well so his performance is up there

Malan. Though melon would be more appropriate.
