Pretty impressive, and if you were to nit-pick stats, you could go above 40 and below 23, which would put him pretty exclusive.

Shame we all know he's actually a bit average.

Sir Richard's bowling average is plain silly, isn't it?

Trent Bridge is (or was) a renowned swingers' paradise; be interesting to see what his home versus away averages were.

Probably a bit worse, but a lot of sporting pitches in the days of 3-day cricket, except Taunton of course. Yet he scored pretty well on those pitches, and Rice scored incredibly well.

Rice was a great batting all-rounder, Hadlee a great bowling one.

From what I've seen of Fisher he is a big prospect. Broad still the best English U19 bowler I've seen (Stokes best bat) but Fisher not far off.

How long until Willey gets a go in the England side? 2/35 off 6 today with the ball, and we all know about his batting. Has to get a go in the Limited Overs side soon.

As Athers just said, I'd love to see an England 1st XI vs the Lions 50 over match. I reckon it'd be very close, and the Lions could even take the win.

Willey, Roy and Hales should all be considered for 50 overs cricket. Root out for Roy, Willey in for basically any of the seamers and Hales in for Bell. Although giving Cook the tap on the shoulder and telling him to focus on Tests wouldn't hurt...

I think Willey was on the verge of a call-up before he got injured. Fully expect him to be fully squaded up when the white-ball International stuff returns.

Good to see him getting a chance in the 50 over cup side. We all know he has talent but we have to wait and see how he develops physically etc...

Certainly one to keep a very close eye on in the coming years.

Lanky scoring over 300 twice in a row without anyone getting 70 and with solid contributions all-round.

Finn in for Woakes, Stokes in for Jordan probably what I would do. Although as I said in the test thread, if CJ can make knocking over the tail his thing then that has real value to an England side whose strike bowlers are poor at it (maybe i'm wrong but my perception is that Broad/Jimmy, Broad in particular, bowl better at real batsmen where they can set them up).

Ravi doing all the hard work, and yet again he gets out to let others have the glory of winning. As selfless as he is brilliant.:wub:

Still expensive, which is concerning considering how he was when he last played tests. He can be threatening but bowls too many 4 balls.
Yeah, but the other options aren't looking at all threatening. I try not to get to het up about Limited-overs run-rate nowadays, let's face it anyone can go, even if they're a little out.
