I've been watching the English players form with interest too, they'd be pretty happy with the way that most of them have started the season. Bell, Cook and Ballance have all been making plenty of runs. It will be very interesting to see what they decide to do in choosing an opener to partner Cook - Carberry didn't do a bad job of it in Australia and has started the season well, Robson made a big ton a week ago and Compton's been making a few as well. From reports, it seems that Prior is the favourite to reclaim his spot back for the Sri Lankan series.
 
By most accounts Siddle doesn't look like he has regained any pace. Pretty concerning giving we're likely to be missing all of Harris, Pattinson and Bird against Pakistan

I wonder if someone like Starc or Cutting could overtake him with a good A series.

Pitch at Taunton was flatter than flat.

Noticed a couple of our older blokes leading the way in the opening round of the T20 comp, Marcus North made 90 and Dirk Nannes 4 for 21. Honourary West Australian, Yasir Arafat hit Jade Dernbach (who else?) for fours off the final two balls of the match to snatch a win for Sussex.

Pretty good day yesterday for the Australian's playing in the T20's. Dan Christian hit 129 off 57 balls :eek:, North and Finch both hit 50's and John Hastings hit 36 coming in down the order.
