I'd love to think so, but there's a few openers around that have been in good form that have been around much longer. Either way I'm happy.
Even though the England A play against the CW Dev League teams, and the U/19 side?

Well I'd play a couple of Black games, but the u-19 game is OD and I haven't been much of a performer in the OD's. I actually completely forgot about the games against Dev League teams :ph34r:

If the selectors go for youth, i would be surprised if your not in the A Sqaud, IMO your the 2nd best young opener behind Thamba and he probably would be playing Tests.

I wonder if the Under-19 Selectors are still looking for OD players, rather than the whole package:p. That aside, looks a great series, I for one, will be hoping for a call-up to the Red Squad to face the English. As Eric said above, good chance for everyone to show some stuff and hopefully get into international reckoning.

Well, if I do get picked I'd be quite honoured. It'd be a great challenge to face the English.

Ouch.

Really hoping to make the squad, couldn`t have enjoyed the last 'A' tour much more. :)

The first-class Cricket Web 'A' squad consists of the following 14 men:

AJ Blackman (Black)
TJ Demeza (Blue)
SG Fitzsimmons (Black)
SE Fuller (c, Blue)
AJ Garven (Green)
NR Hancock (Colts)
D Jellett (wk, Blue)
I Markus (Red)
NL Patrick (Blue)
DP Richards (Black)
MW de Silva (Blue)
DP Smith (Black)
MW Wilson (Black)
KS Wright (Colts)

Old stalwarts Wright and Fitzsimmons given a chance to prove themselves, while Fuller retains the captaincy of the A team in the longer form. A number of promising talents are also included, such as de Silva, Smith and Hancock.

Colour team selectors: Please note that these players will be unavailable for selection unless the team has less than 11 players available (which would probably be the case for Blue and Black), in which case they will be called out of the training camp to play the match and then return.

Pretty damm talented squad there. Huge congrats to Simon and Dave for making the 'youthful' team. Also to Mike, Smithy and Alex from the Blacks.

And to all other players selected. Hope you go well as a unit.

No Dauth. I no his form wasnt great but he has been one of the best batsmen in both forms over the last few seasons. Pretty sure he will get selected in the OD team though.

A bit surprised he and a few other Reds weren't selected, but im sure the guys that got selected will do a great job. Backing my Under 19 opening partner Smith to have a massive series.

Great to be selected. Hopefully can play a little more than what I did on the last A tour.


Completely confused as to why Ad's Collins isn't in there, though. :(
