Not enough of our top line players are getting proper 1st class experience in foreign conditions there is too much attraction in the quick bucks of T20 particularly the IPL.
Speaking of playing I was graded just shy of my 15th birthday and have just registered for my 52nd season, despite having just under 900 wickets @ 16.something and just over 3000 runs @ a very poor average in the local comp I have played in since 1976 I wasn't prepared to end on the 3rd ball duck I finished with in February.
Just hope the body holds up for a game or two
Should also add that our boys are doing OK at the moment and if they can put on a decent score in what will be the best of the conditions then the poms could have an interesting and difficult chase and a rather difficult pitch ( sadly pigs may also fly )
