i fuckin hope lewie plays. id rather have him than batty if giles isn't fit because batty's bowling is complete dog poo. he's not a bad batsman though.
looking forward to watch bell bat.

yeh, definitely put lewis in before batty! Batty is crap, just as bad as when Blackwell got in the England team!  I also want to see Tresco do something!! even if he supports City  |

Big chance for Ian Bell this mini series.
He's got to do well to keep himself in the picture for the Ashes ahead of golden boy Pieterson.
Similarly, let's hope Freddie comes through some decent bowling unscathed- or we'll be really fucked when the real thing gets going.

i can't believe how quickly freddie's recovery has been. when he first had the op they said it would be mid-june before he even starts bowling for lancs

Assuming that we are not going to lose to Bangladesh, the most important thing in these 2 games is to get everybody in form and confident for the Ashes. Harmison seems to be bowling OK for Durham so hopefully he is getting back to his best at the right time, but Strauss, Vaughan and Trescothick need to get some big runs in these games otherwise I can see us being 25-3 after an hour of the first test against the Aussies and the whole summer being a disaster.
sorry, I think I've been reading to many of the doom and gloom posts in the STFC sections of the forum.
