England squad.
Not particularly sure about this. Onions does not quite give us the 'bite' we need first change? It also looks like we're going into the first test with Prior at 6 and Broad, Swann or Bresnan at 7. Jesus: Andy Flower BETTER be a genius...
A Strauss (Middlesex, capt), J Anderson (Lancashire), R Bopara (Essex)
T Bresnan (Yorkshire), S Broad (Nottinghamshire), P Collingwood (Durham)
A Cook (Essex), G Onions (Durham), M Panesar (Northamptonshire), K Pietersen (Hampshire), M Prior (Sussex), G Swann (Nottinghamshire)

Match report YMCA u11s vs. Twyford House u11s
Match tied- 82 runs apiece.
Very truncated match report as correspondent had to leave early due to a poorly wife. Good cricket allround, blah blah. Josep Jarman dnb. The coach obviously sees him as a bowler. Came on third change and bowled two overs of mainly accurate seam-up. Reasonably tight as usual, and had a good shout for lbw turned down. Came on for a tight over at the death. He's still physically smaller than most of the rest of the team, and the coach obviously doesn't rate his batting, so he is working hard to establish himself as a first 11 player. Unfortunately, due to the 'everyone gets a game at some point' principle, he may find himself rested next week. We'll see.
Next week- home match against his previous club Bishopston. Come to think of it, he probably won't play as to avoid ill-feeling boiling over.

Around the counties
COME ON BOYS - WRITE SOMETHING!
Curiously, have you noticed that Read, Davis, Pothas, Wallace and Jones have all scored tons in the current round of championship matches, and Ambrose is currently on 70-odd? Do you think England's w/k job is up for grabs by any chance?
Also, we should have a debate about number 3 and third/fourth seamer for the first test. Regarding the latter, while it seems that Anderson and Broad are busy nailing down their spots, and Flintoff is fit (even if he is getting a bit of tap in Capetown) Hoggard has started impressively, as has Harmison. Who else is in the reckoning? Should we go back to one of these two? REgarding number 3: how many more runs do you think bell needs before he gets back in the team. I reckon another 5 centuries before the first test and I'll have to let him back in. What a twat that man is....
