The selection of Luke Wright and Liam Plunkett for England’s tour of South Africa this winter will surprise many. The lack of reserve batsmen suggests that England will continue with Prior at six and five bowlers. Steven Davies is the reserve wicketkeeper, and Adil Rashid will understudy Graeme Swann.
This weeks Ashes reporting consists mostly of messages, reminders and nudges. By now, the selectors know at least ten of the side which will take the field at Cardiff. The Daily Telegraph, however, assume that each and every decent county performance will have Geoff Miller re-writing the team-sheet.
