    ***Official*** Road to the 2015 Cricket World Cup

    You could have argued the same for Jos Buttler in terms of keeping wicket for England when Kieswetter was keeping for Somerset I'm not saying he deserves it most but i just personally think he's got something about him that's worth having a look at at some point soon

    ***Official*** Road to the 2015 Cricket World Cup

    I should have probably made myself more clear, I absolutely believe Tredwell Should be our Lead Spinner at the world cup based on his performances with england so far, This was more of a i would like to see Riley given a few oppurtunities aswell to gauge whether he would make a suitable back-up...

    ***Official*** Road to the 2015 Cricket World Cup

    I personally don't think England have much of a chance but i would really like to see us try some more aggressive minded players such as Vince and Riley to see if they can adjust to international cricket. Not that the selectors will be brave enough before a world cup.

    Predict your nation's line up for their first match in the 2015 World Cup

    Yeah i do get the feeling they'll be stubborn and stick to basically the same team we have now, Mine is just wishful thinking really

    Predict your nation's line up for their first match in the 2015 World Cup

    1) Bell 2) Hales 3) Ballance 4) Vince 5) Morgan (c) 6) Buttler (wk) 7) Stokes 8) Jordan 9) Broad 10) Riley 11) Finn Root and Kieswetter as the reserve batsmen Topley and Briggs as reserve bowlers. I hope it would be something like this anyway.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in the West Indies 2014

    I haven't had the chance to watch any cricket from the West Indies for a while? Could someone helpfully remind me if they are using a Duke's or Kookaburra ball?

    Fill in keepers

    I vaguely recall Paul Collingwood taking the gloves during a test whilst Prior was injured and he did a very serviceable job. Though he's definitely a player you'd rather have had at backward point much like De Villiers, he definitely wasn't as bad as some keepers I've seen in international cricket.

    Can anyone give me some useful advice?

    Yet another factor i simply hadn't thought about, thank you very much PEWS, i'll definitely work on my left handed technique over the winter to try and become accustomed to it, then hopefully i'l gain selection for a few friendlies and be able to give it a proper try out.. Thanks for all your...

    Can anyone give me some useful advice?

    Thanks hurricane, i posted this mainly to see if anyone had any experience with a similar sort of issue and what they had done. My right handed shots are a lot more powerful but that isn't particularly an issue as i don't tend to try and hit out very often anyway, it's just that my body feels a...

    Can anyone give me some useful advice?

    Hello everyone, i'm naturally ambidextrous and have found that i am capable of batting either left or right handed, however my club are pushing me to pick one and stick with it. Personally it feels more natural to my technique to bat right handed, but my right eye is far more dominant and i have...
