The...Was it not Colin Wood that the PM called him?<br /><br />The way day 2 ended, the selectors might well have to look at the 5 bowlers policy for the Ashes.<br /><br />In that case Bell, Morgan, OCD Trott, and Colin Wood will all come under scrutiny.<br /><br />Remember when Struass was shoehorned back into the side in New Zealand after been dropped a couple of years back, when he was on his last chance.<br /><br />I got the feeling listening to some of the selectors remarks that they wanted a good slip fielder back into the side, and that got him the nod ahead of Shah or Bopara (can't remember which one).<br /><br />They had not long lost Tres, Struass and Fred, while Cook was spilling slip chances everywhere.<br /><br />If fielding comes into their thoughts, then Colin Wood is a certainty, while Bell is a top class short leg (who I believe England missed when he was out of side), Morgan is a good outfielder as well. <br /><br />Which just leave OCD, who looks a bit lost in the field at times, and his running between the wickets isn't great either.<br /><br />I believe that OCD Trott will have to do more to keep his place than the others. <br /><br />And in the great scheme of things, how much will a double hundred against Bangladesh count for at the end of the summer?Dean @ Cricket Betting Bloghttp://www.cricketbettingblog.com/noreply@blogger.com
