fraggle Aug 2015 3:16pm, 28 Aug 2015 588 posts	0 fraggle Went to an ODI Eng vs India a few years ago at the (then) Rose Bowl in southampton - it was August, and we sat shivering under a blanket in some cold slightly foggy weather. We were dreaming about mulled wine, and got very jealous when a guy in front pulled out a bobble hat from his pocket

Crash Hamster Aug 2015 4:35pm, 31 Aug 2015 600 posts	0 Crash Hamster Not Test class (see also Graeme Hick, Mark Ramprakash, Ravi Bopara and several more very good cricketers who just lacked that final fraction) Unfortunately, we really don't have any Test -class openers in county cricket at the moment, which means the Cook +1 merry-go-round will continue for a while. (We also don't have any Test-class wicket keepers at all, which means Buttlerfingers keeps his place, despite not being a good enough keeper or batsman at Test level) This is really quite depressing; we ought to have strength in depth.

That helped raise the standard and bring players on ready for the england team......not these days, it's a leap for all of them. Buttler will come good.
