Somewhat surprised the vibes are that Hameed wont play
Wouldn't be my way of going Maybe they're looking at Hameed as the replacement for Cook in a year or two when he retires and just getting him into the squad now for the experience and have a look at him close up |

dont know if this has been talked about in the broadcasting forum but saw a couple of adverts on BT sport last few days about their coverage of the australia-SA series that starts next month
i'm assuming they will be using the CH9 feed but not sure who they will have doing the studio bit Alison Mitchell and Ricky Ponting in Oz |

I'm wondering if they see Hameed as a bit of a slow coach grinder and they want someone with a bit more oomph to play with Cook
Maybe they're looking at Hameed as the replacement for Cook in a year or two when he retires and just getting him into the squad now for the experience and have a look at him close up People over-complicating this because of the hype around Hameed, in the end Duckett has just made a better case to play, he's more experienced, scored more runs in county cricket last year. Did well on the one-dayers and the warm-ups too. Every squad has about 3 openers in case of injury, so Hameed was there for that, and if Cook couldn't make it because of his child. |

Vaughan got clashes with TMS and BT requirements. I be very surprised if Vaughan misses India and surely Swann will do india series as well. Although if I was BT would have Vaughan or Swann covering the series from india that way they get England updates and reaction just like how Ten used Botham as a pundit for the Ashes when 9 had the ashes rights. |

Well I seriously hope they aren't picking people "for the future", that way madness lies Anyway Cook is a fit bloke no reason he shouldn't play on for another 5 years.

You're probably right that he's there as back up........but the way our top 5 are regularly out before we get much past 100 it might be an idea to have a slow coach grinder coming in at 4 or 5.......we've got plenty of biffers lower down
Hey, if it was me, I'd put him in as opener and drop Ballance and play Duckett down the order, but England clearly want Gary to work out. In the end I just hope Cook and Root can get serious runs, then maybe the rest won't be under so much pressure, lot easier coming in at 200-3 than 27-3 obviously. |

Quite a few journalists (ESPN, Fulltoss, The Sun to name a few) are stating that Ansari is in for Batty and Finn for Broad so Ballance gets another chance. They can't rate Ansari's batting as much as they claim. Or Batty's bowling.
So in effect one wayward leggy and two (wayward) part-timer spinners. As much as i was against Batty going on tour i'd still put some of his last Test down to nerves and back him to find his usual control to give us at least one spinner who can land a few balls an over on a length. |

hales decision to not go to bangladesh has cost him his place in the test side

morgan was not in the test side so his decision to not go to bangladesh is irrelevant to hales's situation as he had no place in the test side to lose
We had two players who refused to tour. Neither should be playing this winter Quote:

Seems like the 2nd test will be ballance last chance anyway.

I can do complicated

However the cricket reality for me is that Hales was gradually drifting away from the England positon as opener. He cant keep the drive at the wide ball in his trousers and pays the price too often. Sadly for the England fans there isnt a new off the conveyor belt opener to take Hales's place so its hard work for the lucky man who goes out with cook in the India tests. As for Morgan it wouldnt bother me if I didnt see him ever again in the England line up. However with our selectors its quite likely he will be there in India. |

Hi Sulla , I tend to agree that Hales and Morgan had to pay the price for not going to Bangla. Pity that our security surveillance didnt give them a convincing indication of what it would be like to tour there.

I did read Hameed had to be warned about his future behaviour a couple of times before the 1st test - maybe they are just making sure he fits in well within the squad before giving him a go?

According to my Bangladeshi friend, we may struggle to get any play tomorrow(heavy rain today and tomorrow)
I hope he is wrong. |

I think the ODI squad for India when named might settle this. If Hales and Morgan both picked then not going to Bangladesh was irrelevant. Because like many other i'm quite sure Hales wasn't going to be selected for Bangladesh test squad. It's unlikely this form was of someone Eng were going to be selecting for test cricket again, surely the Pak series was probably Hales last anyway:
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/eng...g;view=innings Anyway unless the selectors have lost it Hales will be in our one day side and I hope causing problems for the indian bowlers. |

Sad to see in Hales case as when he did get in at a test he was great entertainment. A bit like one of the aussies in full flow. I will miss him at test level but you can never say never in this game. Ask Ballance.
Anyway unless the selectors have lost it Hales will be in our one day side and I hope causing problems for the indian bowlers. You are perhaps conflating his one-day performances with Tests, and yes he should be in our limited-overs reckoning, not so sure about Morgan though. |

I hope he is wrong. interesting since reports from bangladesh suggest it will be overcast with light and moderate showers. Suspect it will be the light and moderate shower since they missing the storm and only getting the fringes of the storm. Wouldn't surprise me if Dhaka doesn't even see rain since they been reducing the rain forecast every hour since the storm weakens while it approaches Bangladesh. Edit thought the odi was tomorrow, shows how much I have been following the ODI series. lucky for them they got 2 and half days to recover from the storm then. |

Spreads calling Bangla runs at 300 - 320
No idea whether that is accurate on this unknown track ? |
