Ged if you guys do that I’m sure the ACB would respond by flying over Mitchell Johnsons mum.

Be afraid, be VERY afraid.

I have heard it on the very best authority (can’t quite remember where) that Geoffrey Boycott’s mum could make plenty of runs against this bunch of Aussie bowlers wielding nothing more hostile than a stick of rhubarb.

Is Mrs Boycott Senior available for selection by any chance?

on the off chance england want to win the ashes… and assuming graeme hick doesn’t fancy a game… how about someone picks up the phone and gives Marcus Trescothick a quick call?

Do you think anyone would notice if we slipped David Hussey into the side?

If Key’s form in Div 2 is no good towards his England credentials, what’s Bopara from Div 2 jobbers Essex doing there?

Trott 184*, Bell 7 against the Mighty Hampshire – if you wanted someone feeling good and ready to give it a go I know who I’d choose – but we are saddled with the lovely Belly. Trott would have been a direct Saffer for Saffer substitution too.

And if Bopara does not snap out of it soon Key should be flown in – his public needs him!

It’s ethnic nepotism – Flower is going to gradually bring in as many short ginger/strawberry blonde players as he can to produce an army of his clones.
If Key fell into this ethnic group he would be a shoe-in.
Possibly.

If Rob Key does not have a strong case, does that mean the chap they’ve picked does have strong case? Personally I think his case is neither strong nor weak.

It’s that ginger bloke from Warwickshire, I think.
