Am I the only one seeing the horrible consequences that is going to happen if eng keep this selection process. This benefits the natural talents now but affects the players with avg talents that works hard to play good cricket. With time players would reduce the effort to work hard and the quality of county cricket will fall because there is no incentive for hard working players and there is only opportunity for born talents. That's going to destroy county eng cricket in the future.
It is harming the hard workers already. Someone like Dan Lawrence gets in on potential or his ability to fit in the social circle of the team. The hard workers may have less talent but if they work hard and deliver results at the level below, they shouldn’t be ignored. Worse of all is this thing about rewarding players the team likes, such as someone that may have been twelve man for a year. It ignores a large number of people that are producing results, but don’t have the best social life with other players

Or, Edmonds.
On the subject of the selection process, I don't think Simon Jones had much of a first class record before being picked for England.
And he did very well didn't he.
@@AlunThomas-mp5qo He did but my point was that selections had been made on the basis of potential, not 1st class record long before the McCullum era

Vaughan needs to stop talking over Phil all the time,
Oasis"the greatest". Stick to cricket Michael.
