@MarkOfield Sort of, Bairstow has played like 6 games of Cricket for England all year despite being in every squad but England comes first so what can you do, If you ask the players they all want to be in those squads. England fairly good with Rashid he misses big chucks of the season because England play a lot of white ball cricket and now the blast is played during the tests those white ball cricketers can feast even more on that type of cricket but it doesn't leave much time to try and improve skills for Test Cricket

Even at his best, Rashid struggled in the first innings of a match and at the start of the season too, the problem for us now is that he has become the #1 spin option in white ball cricket, of which there is f*** loads, so he never gets into any kind of red ball form.......note to ECB, beware doing this to bloody Bairstow too..... -

Tim Wigmore at Hamphire 184-2 v Surrey
A year ago, James Vince was playing seven consecutive Tests for England. They didn’t deliver a great deal to cheer, but the attractiveness of his offside play was never in doubt. He’s shown it off at The Oval after lunch, including taking Sam Curran for three boundaries in one over, and some dreamy punches through the offside. It took Vince only 71 balls to make a sprightly 50; Jimmy Adams was altogether more laborious in taking 138 balls over his half-century. Together the two are moving Hampshire into a fine position. Surrey have been ever-willing but look a little bereft of inspiration. - Live Update

@MattWarwick Not really exited about Rashid the 4 day bowler, had a really good year in 2014 but hasn't developed much since then. Has come on leaps and bounds as a white ball bowlers but just doesn't bowl the overs to really push for a Test place. He did out bowl Moeen in India but obviously not by enough for the selectors to consider switching him with a guy who scored 146 in his last test batting at 4. The other options aren't very exciting either with the exception of people who haven't played enough to expect consistency like Crane
