Hey Will, do you have any young left arm seamer coming up who is doing good in the county circuit ?? If so he would be a great pick for the Ashes. And no Ryan Sidebottom please. I have started this series on what can be done to win the Ashes and my first post centres around getting Gilchrist. I think a left-arm seamer is what you need agaisnt Gilly

Strauss failed against Warwickshire today, making just 13. Not quite “desperate times,” but he does need to show some form - even ahead of Bangladesh. Joyce though continued his merry way by hitting 92 (top scoring again). Some player that bloke. And Scott Styris, Middlesex’s new overseas player, made a quick 52 on debut. But Warwickshire hold first day honours.
Tomorrow’s back pages will be full of Flintoff failing - a 5th ball duck, too - but it sounds like Ali’s little wobblers were perfect on that pitch (and in those conditions) at Worcester. Lancs reached 196 only thanks to Hegg who made a counterpunching 69 off 64.
Surrey brightened their start to the season by taking 9 Glamorgan wickets. Mark Wallace - one of a clutch of hugely promising wicket-keepers in Britain at the moment - is not out 80 at the moment. Good to see some young players outdoing their senior team-mates this early in the season.
So - relative carnage around the country, apart from Derby where Northants have smashed nearly 300 in a day n’avec losing a wicket. Bilal Mustapha Shafayat hit 150 - another very talented young batsman.

Yeah, it’s a good idea Gaurav. We have none in the pipeline that I know of. We have a clutch of young right-armers - although, perhaps, Liam Plunkett might be a leftie, but I think he bats left and bowls right. Gilchrist would have no problem with a leftie - although I’d love to have seen him against Akram in his pomp! Around the mid-nineties, Akram and Younis steaming in…

Hi - I checked up - the bowlers who have got most success against him are Kumble and Harbhajan - you dont have them tho !! Although in the ODI game, he has been dismissed 8 times by Vaas and 7 by Akram, 3 by Mullaly, hence I think he has some weakness against left-armers. Do check out my other strategies against him also on my blog.
