England maybes watch: Vince out for 40 opening for Hampshire, Hameed 61 not out at lunch against Loughborough Uni.

 

Really need all of our red ball certainties and possibles to be playing as many County Championship games as they can this summer. One four-day Test against Ireland is absolutely no sort of Ashes preparation whatsoever.

Blimey that must be the first time Hameed has reached double figures for a good few years lol

Beaumont, Buttler, Burns, Curran, Kohli nominated for Wisden Cricketer of the Year. 

 

Obviously would love Kohli to win it as you can only win it once in your career and can't see him having such a good summer here in England again given his age and India probably won't tour again for another 3-4 years? 

 

Think Curran or Buttler will win it. Don't really know much about Burns or Beaumont although the latter I think guided the England Women's team in successful T20 international matches.

They all win. It's Wisden's five Cricketers of the Year.

I really hope that Hameed has a good season as he could be our answer to the opening batter problem we have. No idea what happened to him last season but he couldn’t buy a run. He’s started well today so fingers crossed it continues!

Good to see Hameed starting the season brightly, though I suspect the selectors may see anything he does this year as being "only" second division runs.

 

What the hell was that Glamorgan v Northants game all about by the way? Somerset get grief for turning wickets which produce results, but strips which are batting bore-a-thons like that in April are absolutely fine?

Hales banned for 21 days for recreational drug use. Not the best year for him...

 

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/26610779/england-alex-hales-banned-recreational-drug-use

Quote

 

England batsman Alex Hales has failed a drugs test. Hales, who was named in England's provisional 15-man World Cup squad last week, is understood by ESPNcricinfo to have tested positive for a recreational drug in recent weeks. The England selectors are not thought to have known about the test result at the time the squad was announced.

 

According to a report in the Guardian, he is currently serving a 21-day ban after returning a second positive test, having pulled out of Nottinghamshire's Royal London Cup campaign, shortly after the World Cup squad was announced, for undisclosed personal reasons.

 

The drugs violation is understood to have been detected after Hales underwent a routine hair follicle test, which all professional men's cricketers and centrally-contracted women's players undergo at the start and finish of every season. The policy was introduced in 2013 in the wake of the death of Surrey's Tom Maynard, and can detect banned substances in the system for up to three months.

 

For a first offence, which is treated as a health and welfare issue, players are offered advice and support with only the county director of cricket being notified.

 

A second violation can invoke a three-week ban and a 5 percent fine of the player's annual salary, at which point the player's county is informed, as well as the ECB chief executive, Tom Harrison, and PCA chief executive, David Leatherdale.

 

A third offence, such as that committed by Durham's Jack Burnham in 2017, can lead to dismissal - although in Burnham's case, the club chose instead to ban him for 12 months and give him the chance to revive his career this year.

 

It is nevertheless another significant black mark for Hales, who was recently banned for six white-ball games (four of them suspended) and fined £17,500 by the ECB for his part in the Bristol brawl that led to Ben Stokes' arrest and subsequent acquittal. England are not obliged to name their final World Cup squad until May 23.

 

Although the loss of Hales at the World Cup would be significant, as things stand he would have served his suspension. He is still expected to join up with the squad for their training camp in Cardiff at the weekend.

 

While he is not currently seen as part of the first-choice side, he was set to be the reserve batsman in the squad. He has an outstanding ODI record: only nine men have scored more than his six ODI hundreds for England; only Jason Roy has a higher individual score in the format than the 171 Hales made against Pakistan. With Roy (back spasm) having recently experienced some fitness concerns, there was every chance he would win an opportunity at some stage during the tournament.

 

Ashley Giles, the England's men's team director, Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire's director of cricket, and the ECB all declined to comment when contacted by ESPNcricinfo.

Ireland might take the plaudits,but a determined solid England succeeded....

With.a few .fringe,unknown ,even untried players/pairings.so for me England have & taken the days colours.

The commentators try to make the opposition big,forgetting we were testing our outside players today..

and still won by 4 wickets after a typical wobble!!

.Foakes looks like he has sealed that Hales cover &12th man place...Curran looks good for the future,

Archer will bring us pace...but still has to earn the right,to be given a alrounder or just bowler placing.

 

Well done Ireland, also finding players for the future. And some good fielding,supported with one real great catch...
