If you haven’t already, don’t forget to vote in our poll about what should happen when Straussy finally hangs up his cap. Did Cook do enough in Bangladesh to inherit what the ECB have long thought to be his birthright? Should KP get a second chance? Or is Stuart Broad, with his sharp cricket brain and ambition, the real future for the side? Perhaps you think it’s none of the above. Cast your vote, and have your say. Closing date, 9th May.

Do not adjust your browser. The headline actually makes sense. It’s Afrikaans for ‘a look at the England performance squad’.

County championship preview – division two
When the county championship was first split into two divisions, there was little disparity in quality between the two leagues. In fact, the divisions sometimes resembled two conferences rather than a two tier system.

Whilst that’s a little harsh on recently relegated Sussex, who are still one of...
County championship preview – division one
If the money men at the ECB had their way, the English domestic season would begin in January and end in November; with December reserved for a new indoor T20 Premier League (funded by some dodgy Texan no doubt).

Ok, that’s a little cynical, but how else can we explain the massive...
