Gough should have played his last game when he made himself unavailable to tour because he was on "Strictly Come Dancing"

Bopara and Prior could be good picks tbh. would like to see Yardy in there too as i think he should be. Broad too. a fine prospect that we need to start playing soon. although having said all that it might be a good idea to stick with the current squad for the world cup. we don't want too many changes so maybe bring these guys in after the world cup and give them 4 years to prepare a decent one day side.

what exactly has yardy got to offer at international level? slow batting, average at best bowling and very mediocre fielding. fantastic

I'd put "average" into our ODI team right now.

He's the token Sussex man, so all those attention loving gay boys on the south coast dont get all upset about it.

Even though everyone knows that having a decent county side is all about keeping your players OUT of the international set up.
