Title: squad for tour of sri lanka
Post by: lebowski on Friday, October 19, 2007, 17:36:16
no strauss. harmison needs to prove his fitness.

vaughan (c), jimmy a, bell, bopara, broad, colly, cook, hoggard, mustard, the sikh of tweak, KP, prior, shah, sidebottom, & swann.

the lord mark ramprakash was seriously considered, but left out. rightly, in my opinion.

Thank fuck Ramps didn't get in. The most interesting inclusion is Bopara. I have always seen him as a one day man tbh. As you were with the rest and it will be interesting to see who gets the nod behind the stumps.

bopara got a double ton for essex in a first class match season just gone.

personally i think he's a class act.

So its the one day squad with Vaughan, Hoggy and maybe Harmy bolted on.

   I'd agree about  Ramprakash....he had a fair  chance and blew it, shame but there it is.

Oh i agree. Just always though he was seen as a ODI man by the selectors.

   I can't see how he'll get a game,  also is Vaughan going to open?
