“Andy Flower… has so far declined to become embroiled in a game of tit for tat, but by saying nothing in retaliation he’s succeeded in speaking volumes about the moral high ground” – Alison Mitchell on how Mickey Arthur’s attempts to create discord are falling flat.
“Do 2 ODI wins constitute a run of form? Strauss not getting carried away, but it will help the team’s confidence no end” TMS’ Alison Mitchell on Twitter.
“Rob Key looks the part to me. He opens the batting for Kent, so has no qualms about walking out to face the new(ish) ball if necessary. He’s found his form after a terrible start to the season, narrowly missing out on what would have been a fourth hundred in seven innings the other day at Wantage Road. Yes, his runs have come against Second Division bowlers, but you can only score runs against those in front of you” – the BBC’s Alison Mitchell.
