Mate seriously you can't put someone into the England on the back of a university game. If he gets like 1200 runs this season in the County Championship, which is a reasonable ask, then I'd want him looked at.

It's his first first class century in 2 years, his talent is questionable at this moment in time and he's done far less in the past 2 years than a lot in the current team.
If he puts in a few of those knocks when the season starts then I'd be more open to putting him in the team.

well obviously lol, he was told he never had a chance of playing for the national side again so he went and played a completely different format full time
first game back that isnt 20/20 and he piles the runs on

Against a bunch of kids. It's not THAT hard, we may as well call up Mickleburgh Westley and Browne then cos they all scored hundreds against a uni side too! I know what you're saying, and I'm only being facetious there, but let's see what he does against a semi-decent attack first? Good for him for scoring runs, and yes it's a very good start, but see how he handles Lancashire, Essex etc before declaring he should walk back in. And to say no-one is anywhere near his talent is ridiculous. In his prime, you're right. His current ability, he's a similar level to many of the England team. Most exciting player we have right now is Buttler by a country mile. On a positive note, Sam Hain continues to impress. Saw him against Notts last year and he was outstanding, think he's 19 years old and just churns out runs. Trott mark 2. Incredible prospect. Edit RE your latest post Stu, at the risk of going over old ground, he was dropped for a poor attitude and it was handled awfully. The way he's gone on since has hardly been brilliant though and fwiw he had a SHITE IPL and nothing else bar a decent Big Bash since then.

So why should he be expected to just walk into the team when he hasn't played that form of cricket?
It's one innings against weak opponents in a friendly

In other more important news, Brendan fucking Taylor you are a don. First ever Notts player to score two centuries in his first two games. Pity he's Zimbabwean.
Edit: Fuck it for the one or two people who might read this I'll do a bit of a more in depth post about the County Championship.
Notts were disappointing today I thought. Great start from Mull and Taylor which should have seen us through to lunch were it not for Mullaney being a bit adventurous. Quite what Hales was doing AGAIN is beyond me, prick shouldn't block me on twitter, that'll be it... Taylor and Taylor partnership was good which is brilliant for Notts as they're our two best batsman and it's also hilariously annoying for commentators and scorers. Stupid collapse though which we always have in us, massive concern for the season against stronger attacks than Middlesex's.
If I find it, you have GOT to see Gurney's attempt to duck out the way of a short ball, tries to limbo backwards and falls right on his arse, brilliant.
Really impressed from what I've read/heard about Tom Fell's knock today. First one in the top division, and a big hundred against the best County bowling attack I've seen in my lifetime. Still think Yorkshire will win it though mind you.

lol Trott, he showed no form in the warm up matches, we still play him and then he gets out third ball. Not surprised at all.

I'm surprised he's not under more scrutiny from the fans,press etc considering the comments he made about depression and running away from Mitchell Johnson. Cook gone for 11.

Lads you're all ignoring the important stuff here. Notts have rolled over Middlesex cos Samit got peckish so got three quick wickets before tea, and now we're going to pile on the runs and win by the end of day three.

No surprise that it was Bell and Root who got the runs piled on, but is it more likely that the pitch has just died completely and our middle order has cashed in?

Pitch was dead from the start, that's why it was odd they chose to bowl first. Plus West Indies have no depth in their bowling, good with the new ball at the start but then they can't do much more and their spinner is shite.

Great test match that. Brilliant from Holder/Roach/Ramdin to dig in.

Good to see the aggressive attacking batsman discarded stupidly by England proving the critics wrong by scoring big in the County circuit. Well in Hales.
