Glos: Banerjee, Stayt, Chris Dent, Jack Taylor. The last 2 will probably make their List A debuts this season.

Is this the same guy?

I've seen him play ...he's pretty good

That looks like him. VArun Chopra, not Virun. Sorry. He's from Essex. Highly rated. Has scored heaps of runs at every level except first class level so far. I didn't know he had been playing Aussie grade cricket this season.

With Flintoff and possibly Anderson and Mahmood on international duty again for much of the summer, Smith should get the chance to force his way back in.

He looks like Peter Krause from Six Feet Under and Dirty Sexy Money.

Everyone thinks Hoggard will be back so Anderson and Mahmood will keep out Hogg, Newby and Smith. Newby is much more exciting than Smith.

If he gets the chance to get into the first XI Jonathan Clare will do well for Derbys.

2 Years time, James Harris will join forces with Broad and Panesar, therefore launching Englands super bowling attack which make them almighty against everyone else.

Either that or he'll turn out like Simon Jones.

Have you actually seen Harris play. When I saw him he just look like a trundler.
