Taylor again!

Leave him alone. Either pick him for the full side, or just let him get on with his life. No one needs to play for the Lions as much as he has.

Maybe it's influenced by who has county games?

Only two players from D2.

Don't see why Bopara needs to be there. He's already a regular in the ODI side. As with Taylor, the selectors aren't going to learn anything new watching him in these matches.

Yes, Ravi is a waste of a spot. There are other players around the current team who are much less experienced, like Moeen and Ballance.

Everyone will be looking at Hales.

Shame Rankin has been discarded after a promising limited overs start.

I see Downton is getting Andy Flower prepared to take over from Moores for the WC attempt.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Seems to me Taylor is in the squad as a potential ODI captain for the World Cup!

This tour is going to affect almost everyone's Royal London FL team. Better check the consequences of that.

Vince pulled away from Hants, probably to carry drinks.
