And why not? Every other international cricketer (bar the Pakistani's I think - but they have their own way of making extra money!!) have the option to play in the IPL. It's funny that since the emergence of the IPL, the first test of the summer has been creeping forward, anyone would think the...

Or Borthwick will owe Swann one for giving him his chance? It's interesting though by sending him the indication is that they intend on playing him. Surely they should be giving Monty a go first, his test record is as good as say, Nathan Lyon's??

Not long I'd imagine & he'll slaughter KP, after all he's the one who's been unprofessional enough to let it get personal in the past (unless the twitter account was Broad - my money was on Swann and in his biography, printed whilst in the same dressing room as KP.) Swann's inferiority complex...

I don't wish to be rude but clearly not if he felt he still had something to offer to the team. He wanted to help us win it be that motivated by personal ambition or desire to help the team, couldn't do it, was retiring at the end of the series regardless, so a decision was made (possibly by...

Needy, that's my point, if he's not playing or going to play what's the point in him being there? It's not like he needs the experience, Monty's an experienced bowler of a totally different action and style to Swann so it's not like he'll be asking for Swann's advice too much. We don't know the...

Absolutely agreed on Tufnell now, when he first started I thought he'd be awful.

I hope the rape gag will keep broadcasters away. Having said that Tufnell was a similar kind of character & offers a pretty good counterbalance on TMS...

I guess you could see it like that, it's a bit needy & woe is me in my eyes, if the team feel all abandoned by this then I'm not suprised the Australian's are wiping the floor with them. I actually dislike Swann, I find his everyman jack the lad act insincere & wonder how great his career could...

It's better for the team in the long run to have a look at someone else if they've lost the series and he is retiring. I don't get what the fuss is about

Briggs is out there with the deveopment squad & he is part of the ODI squad, I'd imagine they'd look to him. The other man out there is Kerrigan...

Kerrigan & Briggs are in the development squad. I'd imagine one or other will be asked to stay on with the Test guys.

No surprise, I rightly predicted in the summer he was retiring after this series, results brought that decision forward a couple of weeks. He was found out in the same manner the South Africans found him out - play a lot of right handers. I'm not keen on his jack the lad act to be honest, the...
