Yep on of them is to start playing four day cricket in proper months mind you the future is the 100 for people who don't like cricket sadly the lunatics are taking over the asylum

Need a head coach with an idea over test cricket much like pakistan have in micky arthur, a batting coach who has a history of actually doing something at test level, at the moment we have ramps who failed at test level, teaching our batters how to.fail, jobs for the boys there. We need a bowling coach our bowlers would respect rather than someone who was successful as a county bowler. Someone ala alan Donald. For me I'd also get a full time spin bowling coach, especially if we are going to go forward with bess, crane, virdi etc all of whom are young players learning their trade.

We also need the people running the game to wake up and smell the coffee. 100 ball isnt the way forward, never has been never will be. For me we move the t20 blast earlier and shorten it. Allow the fc game to have use of all conditions

Jennings in for Stoneman for second test

At least he has some form, hopefully he's sorted that technique out from the saffers series. Still find it hard to believe that two of the county games most consistent run scorers are over looked in burns and hildrith. Ones 27 so in the prime of his career the other is early thirties, but could still do 4 or 5 years whilst ollie pope or an other youngster does his county time

Need more one day specialists so they can lose quicker and play more one day cricket there is a touch of sarcasm in this post

Hope curran starts too, he'll be one of the players we build our side around in the next few years

The Curran brothers are very talented cricketers

Theres a third one too, just no one has really heard about him yet as he is only playing seconds cricket. Think he was at notts but was signed on by the mcc
