So, the third day has been completely washed out with England 116/2 following the dramatic Australia collapse yesterday. Before the match, many England fans would have been secretly happy at the prospect of little play in this match, but it might rob them of the opportunity to deliver a knockout blow.

If the 1st Test against West Indies has taught us anything it is that test cricket doesn’t care a damn about reputations. Two of the worlds finest batsmen, Kevin Pietersen and Shiv Chanderpaul, faced just 7 deliveries between them, whilst it was the likes of Swann and Onions who took the limelight.

These are my selections for the best performers in English cricket for the month of April, in all competitions.

Bravo for the selectors! After all the debate about whether England would select Ian Bell or Michael Vaughan to bat at three against West Indies, the selectors have chosen to ignore both with their squad for the 1st Test.
